In a post the other day, a contributor wondered why Metro continues to be unable to provide timely information about service disruptions before riders pass through the fare gates.
One commenter suggested the London Tube model as a possible solution.
In London, most Tube stations have whiteboards, onto which the Tube equivalent of station managers can provide information about service outages, etc. If there are none, they sometimes try their hands at being witty.
One commenter offered suggestions about what a Metro whiteboard would say:
