I was thinking about something that was mentioned in another forum, the subject of in and out bound, and then I realized that at stations that serve trains to multiple destinations and even those that don't T ridership could really benefit by some simple LED boards at various locatations along the platform. This is very similar to systems I have seen in San Francisco and London.
The LED signs would contain info on the next couple of trains coming through the station, how long before they get there, and where the train is heading. Stations that I think could really Benefit from this.
Any Red Line Station heading towards Ashmont and Braintree before Andrew.
Courthouse or World Trade Center on the Silver Line (Which may already have it with all the money the T has pumped into that)
Any Station between Boylston and Kenmore on the Green Line
Back Bay Station on the Commuter Rail
Ruggles on the CR
Any thoughts on this? I do know that the T did put information monitors trackside at Back Bay to help out with this, but Ruggles could still use some improvement. Also the Subway lines could really benefit from this in my opinion. Thoughts, comments?
