Easier to just create a banner with the terminal station printed on it and cover over the display, particularly for the short turning trains.
I mean change the software so that the new lights, signs, announcements, etc. The TTC can't change it on their own. What I'm wondering is what the destination sign will say, "Vaughan", "Vaughan Metropolitan Centre", "Vaughan Metropolitan Centre", "Vaughan MC" or "VMC"?why bother? they will soon have to change it to Vaughan anyway
It will probably scroll though Vaughan Metropolitan Centre like it does for Sheppard and Young on the Sheppard line.I mean change the software so that the new lights, signs, announcements, etc. The TTC can't change it on their own.

I don't think they could make it any bigger however the side ones are pretty big that they are putting on.The digital display is far too small, only people with 20/20 vision can read it.
I wonder if they will be getting the side signs to work then too?I believe Bombardier has to come do maintenance on every single TR individually to update the firm/software.
Currently they can put any sation as an end point for the train which they sometime do when they short turn or if they have a section of the line closed. The digital signs are different from the role signs on the T1's where it doesn't mater where it's being turned back, as soon as the driver changes the sign on the front it updates the map inside and where the train will terminate.Easier to just create a banner with the terminal station printed on it and cover over the display, particularly for the short turning trains.
During the 22nd Century, Faceitter would develop cerebral implants, making physical signage obsolete.Hopefully, over the years, that they change those designation signs as they evolve with more pixels (like how television resolution evolved). Maybe by the 22nd century, they will be in high definition.
Maybe even in colour, other than black and yellow.

Actually, I don't mind the black and yellow since a destination sign needs to be immediately visible- the serif font they use bothers me more.
The interior signs are so the deaf can know what stop they are at.(slightly OT) that and the interior signs. I still dont get why they have use prose to display a stop; basically putting exactly what is announced on the display. it should be clear and concise
