New Metrobus Signs and Tysons Express Service?

[Tritransit Area]

I highly agree with you, Oren, and also I wish the phone number and stuff was a bit bigger...but I have to see them for myself.

Is this funded through a federal stimulus grant or something?  If not, well...I can kind of understand why the jurisdictions aren't taking WMATA's funding woes seriously (in addition to the 263 new positions they are adding to their payroll)...signs aren't cheap, but it's more palatable and understandable if they are simply replacing torn down signs with these new ones.  Are they being tied in with some sort of stop locator thing (like will the nextbus stop number be incorporated into the main sign?

Tristan, why must the other agencies have small flags underneath the Metrobus signs?  They have just as much information (if not more) to present as the WMATA signs.

Also I do realize that the bus stop signs need to be refreshed (seriously, how long has this design been out there...they've been using them as long as I can remember!), I have to agree with Fred on spending this kind of money on bus stop signs when they claim the (relatively young) system is falling apart around them...

I think the Nextbus ID is to be integrated better into the new sign design.  Still not a reason to change signs that don't need changing IMO, they should just start with the ones that need to be changed (though there is an argument for a uniform sign systemwide).

True. Albeit there are a couple of stops with IDs that aren't registered in the system. The westbound stop at Minnesota Avenue for the X9 and U2 doesn't come up and they show the X9 at Bay H and there is no Bay H at Minn Avenue. Goes up to G, then K L M.

I also noticed that fairfax connecter has those style of signs only in Tysons.
