What do you think of the Winnipeg Transit electronic signage inside the Millennium Library? I like the idea of these sort of signage. I could see these "indoor" signs being installed in some sort of glass box inside transit shelters at major stops. The first generation outdoor signs Winnipeg Transit installed a few years ago have started to fail at a high rate and I'm not sure replacing them with more of the same is the best plan, I would, however, prefer a different layout of the information on these signs. The programming on the signs in the Library split up departures into various regions of Winnipeg, but in my experience people looking for their bus aren't really shopping for "any" bus into western Winnipeg (for example). This is also extra complicated when I'm at the Library trying to get to Osborne Village... The 18 CORYDON ends up in the western Winnipeg box, and the 60 PEMBINA and 16 OSBORNE end up in the southern Winnipeg box. I would instead prefer the style used in airports, with the departures listed in chronological order with a gate code. If "MTS Centre Station" (which is depicted on the Library signs) had two platforms, "E" and "W", then all the departures could be listed together. I would further argue the Station should be designated to have four platforms, adding platform "N" (Smith northbound at Graham) and "S" (Donald southbound at Graham) then route 99 could also be captured. Winnipeg Airport Departure board This idea could be expanded to more complex "stations". I would assign platform letters to a terminal like Polo Park like this: Polo Park Terminal Station with assigned platform letters.

See in "G" on Monday, March 30th, 2015... I was told it was a "pilot" delivery. As in, Winnipeg Transit will have it for a few weeks to look at, examine, and drive around, before it goes back to NewFlyer with feedback intended to smooth the delivery of the main part of the order.. Note that at this point the unit lacks the standard stripe decals. There was also no farebox inside when I looked. (I forgot to check if it had a radio). I was also told that the 2015 deliver of XD40's would be numbered 831-888.
