If so, it's strange that Vision equipped buses will regularly announce the wrong next stop on branching routes. I hear this every time eastbound on a bus from Long Branch loop, where the next stop is announced as "Thirty Ninth Street" when it should actually be "Brown's Line" on a 110A or any 123. Yes VISION does control stop announcements, and there's alot of announcements need fixing. They also messed up the latest update by making all the announcements fast again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given that VISION knows to set the route/branch and destination signs, I would have figured it would also know which way that particular bus was turning at a branch point and announce it properly. Apparently that's being too optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mar_AC_23 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 So I was just on #3518 on the 939B and here are some interesting announcements that the VISION system has: This is a safety announcement, please exit the bus using the rear doors Please move back so that passengers can board the bus Please do not eat on the bus. Drinks with lids and covers are allowed To speed up boarding, please have your fare ready before the bus arrives at your stop For your safety, please stand behind the white line while the bus is in motion Thank you for riding the TTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes vision has different stop announcements than the old system. I wouldn't be surprised if TTC just programmed them incorrectly either.

leylandvictory2 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 I heard there are 3 teams at Eglinton installing visions. it may be true given three containers have been offload at Maintenance staff parking spots. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess they will be going full steam with the conversions to try to get as many buses done before the deadline at the end of the month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
