Snowblock Posted October 25, 2012 Share #3 Posted October 25, 2012 Did the LIRR ever get their countdown clocks live? Those have been in beta FOREVER......this is the first I'm hearing about NYCT clocks going online, but I think we can all agree this is a great idea which will help everyone.

Guest Lance Posted October 25, 2012 Share #4 Posted October 25, 2012 It's about time this very useful info was made readily available. I am wondering why the L isn't included here. I understand why the rest of the B Division (and the 7) arrival times aren't available, but with the L using CBTC, there shouldn't be a problem with collecting the needed data.

Snowblock Posted October 25, 2012 Share #5 Posted October 25, 2012 It's just botched reporting. I'm sure the L will be included. Some stations on the 7 (north of Queensboro) already have countdown clocks too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quill Depot Posted October 25, 2012 Share #6 Posted October 25, 2012 I wonder if there will be a ridership increase in A-Division? This is a GREAT idea! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
