Urbanfortitude Posted July 21, 2011 Share #4 Posted July 21, 2011 Most of the stations I wait at don't even have these clocks yet. Spoiled b&^#hes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IND and the BMT (except the ) do not have these countdown clocks and nobody says a thing until these spoiled riders on the IRT lines complain.

SMDH …and the MTA should get on installing ATS so they can outfit the B Division with the clocks as well. It would be nice having a visualisation of the impending 7-10 minute wait that always seems to happen even during rush hour on those lines.

Tokkemon Posted July 21, 2011 Share #8 Posted July 21, 2011 Nah, not in the NYCS. I think the timeclocks are great, but more important things should be fixed first like updating the rolling stock and signal upgrades. What if the MTA put a whole crapload of cash toward a massive overhaul of the signalling system? Wouldn't that be awesome? But no one sees that stuff, so its no good for public relations. But timeclocks are!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The B Div. will not get ATS, there done with that program since they have had so many problems with it on the IRT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted July 21, 2011 Share #10 Posted July 21, 2011 Ummm... there are countdown clocks on the now. They are the same as the . I heard it a Junction Blvd. The only difference is that there are no displays for the (yet...), but it does say "The next Manhattan bound local train will arrive in approxamently x minutes".
