VIDEO: R160B Side Advertisment & Diamond Signage

Posted by Transportation Hub on Fri Dec 2 09:08:22 2016

This is an R160B Siemens where the MTA is testing side advertisment. Plus, a diamond rush hour signage. I had this video on the first day of the (W) Line restoration but I lost it, and then recorded the video. Only available at the Coney Island Yard.

Enjoy and please subscribe to my channel.

That's reminiscent of what you see in Europe (or at least Paris, Warsaw, and Kraków to name a few places I remember seeing them) - full screens that give you estimate countdowns to the train's arrival at various upcoming stops and such. It's basically the next step up from the FIND. Hopefully if such screens become standard on MTA, the FIND of today can just be incorporated instead of making people look at two different places.

Images of the proposed R211 seem to indicate that LCD front and side route signage may be the new standard.

So it looks like no more Arts For Transit posters on that route/destination sign box.

Not only that but it seems that someone in New Car Engineering decided that it was a good idea the eve the destination displayed on the front of the trains in addition to the side.

They could have it rotate through as part of the display.

Back to the future. The LCD tech must have gotten cheap enough to be adopted by the MTA on the R-211. I wonder if the next generation of buses will have similar exterior LCD destination signs.

Similar signs could have been done with LEDs like the CTA 5000s.
