Uh, I don't have a U route character since it doesn't exist, but I can try making a custom one. Is there a route character that you'd like me to convert into a U?

If you need to take a look at the font for reference, you can see my fonts here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1e4nNlpRJTOTGR7SLSzbmKmvqlEFX2CXbKhJ4B0sxkl0/edit#gid=487128863

The V is the closest to a U so I suppose that is the best option

Whats that weird Sign used in 2000 C40LF #915 and that test Gillig phantom that MTA had in the summer of 2005?

The Gillig Phantom used Twinvision signs which the MTA doesn't use besides for flipdots on some RTS units.

C40LF #915 piloted LED signs made by Aesys, called Aesys VerbaBus. These were also piloted on Orion V and Orion VII OG units. They are now in use on the 2012 Prevost X3-45.

Interesting. they look unnaturally curved. No wonder MTA doesn't use Twinvision and a LED sign with a weird name

oh, oof.

The route seemed interesting and i couldn't see what it said so i came to you hoping my predictions are correct. Well it's alright if you don't have a "k" on the rear

Ah, never mind. I can use that video for the K. Let me add it to my font.
