R46 5636 said "The reason the MTA tries to keep the amount of text minimal on the LED signs is because if it goes over a certain limit, It will scroll (Just look at the 21 St - Queensbridge programming for the (Q) on the R160). "I get that but I'm not talking about exceeding character count on the display. As user GBS pointed out there's no reason to display "5 Ave" instead of "5 Avenue" or even "5 Av-Bryant Pk" if it can fit. Today I observed "34 St-Penn Sta" on the E when clearly "34 St-Penn Station" would have fit. "34 St-Penn Station" is on the strip maps but abbreviated on the overhead. |
