MTA Expands Arrival Alerts In The Bronx
By: NY1 News
Subway riders in the Bronx now know exactly when the next train will arrive.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has added countdown clocks to the Buhre Avenue and Middletown Road stations on the 6 line.
The clocks show the number of minutes until the next two trains arrive, and give real-time messages about delays and other transit information.
Signs are located on the platforms and outside of the turnstiles.
Countdown clocks were installed in five other stations along the 6 line late last year.
The MTA says it hopes to have the clocks installed in 152 stations by early 2011.
