It sure is great to know whether you are running late for the train, or if the train is running late for you.
@JasonThorne eek, wouldn't that lead to people careening down stairs? From a safety perspective I'm not certain that's ideal.
(Of course the best way to make sure people don't rush is to have such frequent service that there's no point in rushing)
@JasonThorne I've wanted this in Toronto for so long. Let me know if I should rush down the stairs or take my time.
Non-selfishly, this dramatically demystifies the subway to people who don't ride regularly. It also encourages people to ride since they can see how frequently trains come.
@soviut @JasonThorne Never underestimate the power in prominently displaying what is possible.
This is one of the secondary reasons I like the new night-trains between Stockholm and Berlin: advertisements in the form of departure information on the big board in the Berlin central station telling you it’s possible to go to Stockholm by train. And vice versa in Stockholm.
