You mean the announcements that are ALWAYS clear and understandable?I'd prefer something that sounded less as if the announcer is yelling at me. Of course, this problem is its worst on the Lexington Avenue lines. What signs are those? The only signs that I know of on the NTTs provide far more information than rollsigns, and do so without the frequent mis-signed car. The only rollsigns that dispense the same amount of useful information as the NTTs side signs are the R32/38 signs, and unfortunatly, they aren't always up to date, or set correctly. The signs on the R142s are extremely hard to read because they go blank between readings for no reason. So if you're waiting for a 5 train to Nereid, for example, rather than a 5 to Dyre, you have to wait as the sign changes between all of its readings before you can be sure that it's okay to enter. I hear this frequently on this board. Nowhere else does anybody complain about something being too bright in a place as dark as the subway. The subway isn't that dark. Of course the tunnels are, but many stations are comfortably bright. There's no need to make the interiors of trains look like hospital waiting rooms. |
