^The canopies are nice, but I guess I was expecting more than just a big sign with the station name for those tall vertical elements. But everything I can think of—like something telling how soon the next train arrives—is awfully expensive to be made redundant by smartphones. The big monitors on the sidewalk are more practical anyway.
I guess we could put up a sign like this, but too many visitors (and Chicagoans) already forget that CTA is an integrated system, in which the buses play a vital rôle, and start wondering why there's no L line to Soldier Field.
