chrisliz09 Posted May 12, 2010 Share #151 Posted May 12, 2010 It's not his decision at all. These screens have been up sitting unused at most stations since 2008, and they have been completely paid for in previous capital programs. And the system under test only takes up one line of the screen while the other line still displays train arrival info so your point is moot. Funny because every time I have used the train in the past those signs have been 100% accurate. Except for the 10th time, these boards have been paid for already within the past decade in capital programs and all that has to be done now is roll them out. The isn't spending money to install them aside from the crews necessary to install them. Crews that are paid just as much as the tons of crews that are doing 10,000 other jobs around the system. Yes, the B Division screens should be coming mid-to-late next deca*de. yea thats what i heard its going too be around 2016 and the 7 as well, but they are working on the ones now in brooklyn and manhatten now presidends st is going too be on soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFK 7212 Posted May 12, 2010 Share #154 Posted May 12, 2010 Sorry if this has been mention before but the following stations have the boards up and running:157st on the 1 in both directions and Hoyt st on the 2/3 in both directions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abba Posted May 13, 2010 Share #155 Posted May 13, 2010 No, that technician crew that I saw at President St around noon today. Franklin Av station board is offline, they are fixing the bugs. Majority in Brooklyn stations are not in working in order. It's great that at least they kept the announcements on at Franklin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK 7212 Posted May 13, 2010 Share #156 Posted May 13, 2010 I say the boards that they're testing on the IRT should go to the L as well.Cause really that L train chick is supremely annoying!I dig the dude at 157St and Hoyt St better.It sounds like the guy that does the Airtrain announcements. "The next uptown local train to Van Cortlandt Park-242St will arrive in 3mins." "There is an uptown local train to Van Cortlandt Park-242St approaching the station." "The next local train to New Lots Av will arrive in 2mins" "There is a local train to New Lots Av approaching the station" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTR Admiralty Posted May 13, 2010 Share #163 Posted May 13, 2010 No, he means the signs on both platforms. Each sign shows the trains on both platforms. It's necessary for him to be coherent then. Nothing new at Bedford Park yet. I believe the sign is still wrapped. Many stations along the Jerome line still have wrapped signs. I'll make a note if signs are off.

w8Hou Posted May 14, 2010 Share #166 Posted May 14, 2010 It's great that at least they kept the announcements on at Franklin. Surprisingly, the computerized announcements were close to accurate. But the electronic boards on the platform is still off as of today. Another update... Atlantic Avenue station on all number line platforms has the electronic LED boards. But its offline as of right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisliz09 Posted May 14, 2010 Share #167 Posted May 14, 2010 Uh, that system is actually has similarity noted what line is arrived. Actually I should have mention, almost all stations inside the main entrance area actually has the old black information crawling electronic box in which when it notes next train arrives at the platform with the beep sound. It is actually is reliable. The new boards still need to fix the bugs yet it still hits with snafus. Yet they hit with roadblocks and getting a crappy contractor to do this job. I also blaming on the MTA management for not getting this system on timely fashion. Here in Brooklyn, no one really like it when its not working properly at almost all numbered line stations. Until I see improvements on almost every station has they board setup fine / working properly and reading other members in this or other forum that is working then I would change my mind except at the present time. MTA is a wasteful agency that is still spending, like this one when they are cutting service and layoff workers. BTW, you need to multi-quote your post, for the third time. I agree with you except at the present time. Its not worth to spend on new system to hook up and fixed the bugs when we are in the budget crisis and service reduction plus layoffs. This is a want not a need that is really useful yet we still lean towards the platform edge to see the train is coming. Some look even at inside the main entrance area to see the train is arriving a moment in which we still have that and almost convenient. They really need to hold it off until MTA has the money in which they dont. Surprisingly, the computerized announcements were close to accurate. But the electronic boards on the platform is still off as of today. Another update... Atlantic Avenue station on all number line platforms has the electronic LED boards. But its offline as of right now. they are working on having them on for this upcoming week so they will go off and on just too test them out but they will have them on and off as they do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they're late at everything. Hell, when the MTA came up with MetroCard Gold, people in Hong Kong started to use smart cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, when the MTA came up with MetroCard Gold, people in Hong Kong started to use smart cards. one thing that i see here in the states is that even if we was too try and do things like that and have new up to date things like other country's do like smartcards and 250 mph trains like in japan and even in Germany people here couldnt work together and get it done. they pay for the best in other countrys but here we dont want too pay for anything new or old other countrys pay way more than we do here even if we went up a full buck we wont be paying as much as londen or japan or Germany, i cant ever see the us do things like other places do we just dont have people working together and willing too do what it takes too get it done. they are moving forward and we are almost at a stand still.
