BART Maintenance and Engineering staffers retrofitted existing LED displays at Lake Merritt Station with full-color monitors to “demonstrate that this is an efficient, cost-effective method to get more information to customers,” according to the agency.
Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) has started a platform-level sign pilot at Lake Merritt Station in Oakland, Calif.; Virginia Railway Express (VRE) is set to restore full commuter rail service.
BART Maintenance and Engineering staffers retrofitted existing LED displays with full-color monitors to “demonstrate that this is an efficient, cost-effective method to get more information to customers,” according to the agency. If successful, the 19th Street Station, also in Oakland, is next in line for the upgrade.
