Destination Unknown: Bus Stop Signage Survey (1998)

In response to numerous errors identified on the new signs by TRC members and staff, and complaints received by the TRC from members of the public, the Council undertook a random survey of 286 of these signs. The survey found widespread inaccuracies, some of which are statistically significant, in destination information, Guide-A-Ride listings, and panel color-coding for Limited routes. The study also found a total lack of Hours-of-Operation information for NYC Transit Express bus routes, and several instances of incorrectly sited signposts.
