MysteriousBtrain Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share #153 Posted January 27, 2019 So far it looks like the transfer update is present on all xd40s, LFS, XN60s, Separate note: the Vianova updates still got a lot of work to do. Was on xn60 1029 from Harlem to the hub and let's just say it was interesting. The were nonexistent, you could catch the M3 at Morningside, St Nicholas and Fred Douglas, and you can get the Bx17 at Westchester avenue and third Avenue. It also seems like a handful of routes were missing too like the M35, and a huge list of buses at The hub. Some of it is because the list is limited to 3 bus routes, other times it simply wasn't worth it. Vianova's transfer announcements seem so disorganized and that's why I prefer no announcements on that version. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vianova's transfer announcements seem so disorganized and that's why I prefer no announcements on that version. It was pretty organized in Staten Island. Victory Blvd and Bay Street it announced all the routes, which were like 6, so it's not limited to only 3. I noticed that it doesn't repeat transfers too. For example the S78, leaving the ferry it makes the announcements to transfer to all routes at Bay Street, and then it doesn't list them again dowj the linento reduce the amount of repeditiveness I'm guessing. I'll see if I can get a video tomorrow on the S78. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielhg121 Posted January 27, 2019 Share #160 Posted January 27, 2019 Most of the Eastchester local buses have them except for I believe the 41xx’s. I’m not sure what version they have. They don’t look like any of the versions that were posted. None of the signs display stops and no announcements as of yet. It’s one whole board that isn’t split down the middle but it can display two screens. Hard to explain lol. Black curved border. One in the front and one in the rear. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can list the NGs you remember having the screens that would be great. Recently it seems only a few buses at ECH had screens but they might have put them up on NGs recently.

XcelsiorBoii4888 Posted January 27, 2019 Share #165 Posted January 27, 2019 @Orion6025 @danielhg121 My apologies version 3 has been updated. The one I posted was the original version 3 (clever devices) the MTA tested when they first started using the screens. The one below is the one currently being installed on the NGs and new XD60 buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTSTdrive Posted January 27, 2019 Share #166 Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) One note I'd like to add here in the forums that wasn't shown in my video of the Luminator screens: When they were first testing it on C40LF 572, it initially annunciated all of the transfers regardless of how many bus and subway routes intersected (if you were in Flatbush Junction or Downtown Brooklyn, lord have mercy on ya soul). Not something I saw as an ideal fix but I'm glad they at least that they cut it off with "...and others" after listing 3 route transfers. What I hope in the future with the other screens made by Vianova and Clever Devices is have them list the multitude of transfers with "Multiple transfers are available" (a la NICE Bus) or something similar because those announcements for the transfers by Jamaica Center are just...

danielhg121 Posted January 27, 2019 Share #167 Posted January 27, 2019 I’m pretty sure 4020-4035 have them, dunno about 4036 since that’s a relatviely recent transfer. 4485-4488 I’m pretty sure have them as well. I rode 4142 recently and it didn’t have it so I’m just gonna assume the 41xx’s to be left out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were several spots in the Bronx that did not list all transfers and a few that had no transfers announced when there actually are transfers available (River Avenue on the westbound bx6 as well as 10th Av on the eastbound Bx12 SBS does not list anything). Also adding on, 7558 from ENY does have transfer announcements but does not announce the airtrain at Lefferts blvd and the transfers when at new lots Av .
