Posted by randyo on Thu Feb 8 01:32:36 2007, in response to Re: Modern Subway Cars vs. Older Subway Cars (rolling stock decisions and issues), posted by The Port of Authority on Tue Feb 6 17:35:35 2007. The problem is that there are several lines that have multiple destinations. The #5 Line has 2 N/B destinations, 238 St and Dyre, and 4 S/B destinations, Flatbush, New Lots, Utica and Bowling Green, and the #4 shares 3 of these S/B destinations with the exception of Flatbush. The #6 has Pelham and Pkchester and the #7 has Main St, Willets Pt and 111 St. Without going into too much detail, other lines which have multiple destinations are the A, B, E, F, M, and R. Especially now with the availability of LED technology, there is no reason why destinations cannot be displayed on the end signs of trains especially when every other transit system in the world does so. As for the inability of the LEDs to display colors, that is not quite accurate. LEDs can display colors but the MTA is just too cheap to utilize the technology to do so. |
