Just a few short weeks ago none of the JG XN40 buses had information screens. They are slowly popping on the C40’s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll update the list in a few so we can organize all the new buses and screens and make things a bit clearer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QM1to6Ave Posted March 20, 2019 Share #217 Posted March 20, 2019 One of the 849x buses on the Q46 lists one of the transfers at the Kew Gardens terminal as "Babylon". No explanation, just says and lists Babylon in addition to the Q10 etc 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so infuriating that the MTA spends money on this expensive tech, and then seems to spend all of 3 minutes actually programming it. No one gives any attention to details! Half of the stops are still terribly mispronounced, there are some spelling errors...it is ridiculous. It's hard to have any faith that any significant improvements can ever be made in the system since so much of those improvements depend on having people who care about details and nuances.

The worse part is that the Babylon Branch is the only the branch stopping there, and it doesn't stop there at all times. For some abbreviated branches, its pronounced based off of that abbreviation, which sounds pretty dumb. Also some runners up in pronunciation: "This is Q32 to Northern MINUS 81 via Revolt" "College P-T Boulevard" (Q58, Q88). "via Madison via Buey" (M4; If you know Spanish you'll find some humor in this one). "Metropolitan Avenue & Toys-R-U-S" (Q38).

A lot of the transfers are shown a stop before the actual transfer point on the local routes. Also, they don't care about the S57 stops, the damn thing freezes up in both directions once you leave Seaview Hospital, making the thing useless for half the trip. Every once in a while you'll have a B/O that manually resets it, but people should know where the stops are, especially at night on a route that goes in the middle of a forest. Also, some routes don't have codes past a certain stop. Never knew the S53 ended at Port Richmond/Harrison, the S57 ended at Post/Port Richmond and that the S59 ended at Port Richmond/Albion😑 Edited March 22, 2019 by Lil 57 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
