Bus Stop (Temporary) by Jeff Yu, on Flickr From a few specific instances I've seen over recent month-long periods, these signs are now being put in place when it is discovered that an error was made on a sign already put up, but the sign shop doesn't have time to print a correct one by the next day. They may be used for other things too, but that is the only occasion I've seen them so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meraki Posted July 12, 2018 Report Share Posted July 12, 2018 I don't fault them for temporary signs, but I will poke fun at the useless text to use Next Bus (with no stop number) or to contact Transit Information (with no location information.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus Stop (Temporary) by Jeff Yu, on Flickr Wow that’s different! I thought y’all were talking about the temp paper signs. But this is impressive! I get the lack of stop number... but at the same time... eh if it’s a temp thing it’s a temp thing. I do wish they didn’t have the part about texting bus times if they don’t have a stop number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. BusFreak Posted July 15, 2018 Report Share Posted July 15, 2018 Forgot to mention, but I saw 9243 BOd at Arthur Drive and 45Â avenue at around 11:20 AM yesterday. It was still there at about 6:30 PM at the same location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThatBusGuy Posted July 17, 2018 Report Share Posted July 17, 2018 Since I brought it up before, just gonna mention that the Steveston Hwy/Hwy 99 temporary sign has been replaced by a normal one. No more lack of stop number! Speaking of signs, Delta (and maybe other places too) is already starting to get new signs with cardboard placeholder covers for the September changes, even though that's still a month and a half away.

A few have popped up in New West and along the 406 route as well. They seem to be just picking random stops to do, wouldn't it make more sense to focus on one area at a time instead of all over lol.

buizelbus Posted July 24, 2018 Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 All along the 401/410 route are temporary paper signs, I assume this means the changes will be in August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Community Shuttle Posted July 25, 2018 Report Share Posted July 25, 2018 The sign outside of the 7-Eleven on Steveston Highway is covered by a paper sign. I assume the actual sign underneath says 407/413 instead of C93/407. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
