Anyone have pics of the new interface and screen on the SI buses? I still haven’t seen a screen but maybe I’m waiting for the wrong buses.

Also….how does the driver control the OMNY reader? Since there is no driver screen. Like putting on inspection mode, disabling them, etc??

Also another question is do the OMNY readers show the driver anything about taps being unsuccessful or successful, since there is no driver facing screen? Do you just have to listen for sounds?

So logging into the farebox sets the destination sign and the fancy LCD screens using single point login, correct? Also, any news with getting the new driver screens like NICE has etc? I’m guessing it has to happen soon if the fareboxes are going away, so you’d have a place to login.

So I know every bus in the MTA’s fleet now has Clever Devices IVN4. I’m not talking about the fancy Vianova/Clever/Luminator passenger screens, rather the actual Clever Devices IVN4 computer in the cabinet behind the driver. This is what PSAs usually play on, and hosts BusTime, provides for GPS tracking, vehicle health and whatnot. In the buses with the Clever LCDs, the IVN5 is used instead to combine the setup. So my question is, without a transit control head like many other systems in the world have, how does a NYCT driver login to the bus? Through the farebox? I know that those Clever Device transit control heads are coming soon since the farebox is going to be removed. This is always something I wondered however, since NJ Transit, NICE, etc all have a driver TCH screen.
