Q10 Airport Posted August 1, 2012 Share #1326 Posted August 1, 2012 Anybody know what's up with the 181 St uptown countdown clock? EVERY time I come through there, it has times listed which are totally off (last night my follower was 14-17 minutes behind me, with the next one 34-37) and there it said 5 min and 24 min. It must be programmed for a different station..... My experience with the countdown clock in London is even worse. I remember seeing that a bus from one line is supposed to arrive, only to find out that the bus from another line is supposedly arriving twenty minutes early. Maybe the London Underground is better with these clocks, but I can't remember due to the crazy encounter with London buses. Haha the quoted story and my experiences are why I'm not crazy about the countdown clocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N4 Via Merrick Rd Posted August 1, 2012 Share #1328 Posted August 1, 2012 Just a note if anyone is going to ask: why havent they done the same thing they did w/ BusTime? is because IMO the Countdown clocks would be there for nothing and it would of been a waste of money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j express Posted August 24, 2012 Share #1330 Posted August 24, 2012 The MTA is testing clocks on the broadway line so that's why the clocks show inaccruate information but in the future they will show accurate information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donald Posted September 2, 2012 Share #1332 Posted September 2, 2012 They need to fix the countdown clock going northbound at Morris Park on the . It only shows one digit, so if the next train is 12 minutes away, it shows the next train as being 1 minute away. So everytime I'm working on the and pull into the station, I always think there is another train right behind me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quill Depot Posted September 2, 2012 Share #1333 Posted September 2, 2012 I like the USQ countdown clocks, there in the right place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted September 3, 2012 Share #1334 Posted September 3, 2012 Wrong again. The clock IS showing one minute because there aren't any signals approaching Morris Park so the ATs has no way to know the train is in the station. It will disappear once the train passes the leaving signal. Thia is also why despite being one of the most overrun stations, most T/Os will get away with it as long as nobody on the train bangs them in.

Transitboy Posted October 31, 2012 Share #1343 Posted October 31, 2012 kind of off topic but the countdown clocks in the stations that were flooded must be really messed up from all that salt water D: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
