The transfers on SI are all messed up. Supposedly you can transfer to the S44 along Castleton Ave, the S55/56 in front of the Yukon Depot and many more.

Yeah wordd even some of the transfers are redundant like it needs to be logical not robotic. 

What department in the MTA controls stuff like that? I would deadass do an MTA summer internship JUST to fix and modify all of the transfers around the city AND modify all the bus stop exact locations on MTA bus time so they can sinc with the screens. Something SO EASY gets neglected. Unless it's all coding (which I know it's not) shit should not be THIS disorganized.

They can be extremely confusing to newcomers. Especially the LTD stop buses with their incorrect stop lists. Google uses the same data as BusTime for stop locations so let's say someone gets on an S96 from the ferry, they're going to think that it stops at Brighton Ave even though it doesn't.

259-351 all have the screens. So that'd be...

233-234, 236, 238, 242249, 256, 259-352, 355, 357, 359, 362, 364-366, 370-400, 403-404, 406-407, 409, 411-412, 415, 417, 428, 432-433, 437, 439, 441, 445, 456 so far were reported to have the screens.

These buses have Version 2 screens. I added 353 BTW. I saw that bus today on the B63.

451, 453, 464, 472, 662, 665, 671 DON’T have any on-board screens at the moment.

7292 has Version 3 Screens. I rode it on the B7 Tonight 

Great catch! 👍 I added it on my list. So far these are the current ones that were reported to have Version 3 screens:

7140, 7152, 7154-7155, 7158-7159, 7161, 7169, 7180, 7189, 7256-7257, 7259, 7261-7262, 7265, 7267-7269, 7275, 7277, 7279, 7292, 7296, 7298

If you get chances too, please try to get more rides on these buses from Ulmer Park/Fresh Pond Depots and lookout for any on-board screens.
