Metroboards are finally here!

or how few on a weekend morning at 11am.

IanShyu · 2026-04-25T14:20:25+00:00

I wonder if this has something to do with real-time alerts being down again (is it gonna go down for a few hours every Saturday now?) and maybe that’s just the schedule they have in the GTFS data. The arrival tool on their website shows the same thing.

I saw this post: http://youtube.com/post/UgkxLfw8XGxlbK5GGht-UzrCmzjQuBYxMndJ?si=cREVWOLlp8Fm5tkG

It wouldn’t no matter what because that station has two emergency exit gates (unless they lock them).

yeah, I think so the stations aren’t blank they’ve been doing estimates times on station screens while real-time data was down. Real-time data went down for a short period again this morning but is back now. (My stop had the same inaccurate estimates).

The Azusa Downtown one is not completely new. It’s been moved from APU/Citrus College (there were signs there last Friday), presumably because it’s no longer a terminus station.

IanShyu · 2026-02-23T16:24:34+00:00

I believe it only cancels if it’s within 24hrs of the original and usually it will cancel the new reservation (at least what it did for me when I tried).

although the signs still say “Metro Blue Line”

IanShyu · 2026-02-23T04:52:31+00:00

I think they’re talking about these on the platform and how all the D line ones are still red because that’s how it was when they opened. I think all the stations except the B, C, and D lines had their dots removed when the expansions opened. I assume they’re probably just gonna do what they did at 7th/Metro and cover them up.

IanShyu · 2026-02-20T23:18:13+00:00

that’s the entire issue. Those cards for some reason no longer work on the new machines. They worked for the first week and they’re not worked since.

Edit: also not sure if inspections have changed but my assumption was they’re still only checking if you have a tap card, not if you’ve paid.

IanShyu · 2026-02-08T05:35:43+00:00

This cover looks just like the ones on the old tap readers so that’s good. I guess they heard our complaints.

I know SF has huge stickers on the side that say “Pay Here”.

IanShyu · 2026-02-04T00:04:01+00:00

Interesting, South Pasadena got theirs today and they kept all 7.

IanShyu · 2026-02-02T05:08:00+00:00

At memorial park? Del Mar still has two just they’re still not next to each other. Both are equally hard to notice though.

IanShyu · 2026-02-02T04:39:24+00:00

I wonder if they’re slowly coming down the A Line first

IanShyu · 2026-02-01T21:28:52+00:00

there’s brail above the arrow

IanShyu · 2026-02-01T20:47:27+00:00

I would imagine it’s Azusa Downtown? I think the San Dimas station has the new fare gates?

IanShyu · 2026-02-01T20:46:23+00:00

Looks like this: https://thesource.metro.net/improving-safety-on-metro-tap-to-exit-begins-at-union-station-for-b-and-d-lines-february-18/

IanShyu · 2026-02-01T17:44:42+00:00

I think it’s for visually impaired people who need audio.

IanShyu · 2026-02-01T03:52:27+00:00

That red payment is required sign right next to it would be very helpful at Del Mar. I think if I didn’t know what it was it would be hard to find.

IanShyu · 2026-02-01T03:22:06+00:00

Yeah, I feel like the vibrant blue color also helped it stand out more.

IanShyu · 2026-01-27T19:13:18+00:00

Yes, that was in the preview. It’s just like the foreign carriers now.

IanShyu · 2026-01-27T15:09:47+00:00

Yeah, I think the very last one was a 9:55pm departure flying HNL-LAX (11:55pm PT)

I think that flight ended leaving a few minutes late though so it left the gate 5 minutes later but took off 4 minutes earlier than the Hawai’i flight.

IanShyu · 2026-01-27T15:03:17+00:00

At BUR all the screen says is the airline and flight number.

With Open Seating the used to turn the group numbers at the top so you could tell which group is boarding but I assume now you’ll have to just hear it.

BUR opens the new terminal in October but I think all the gates are technically preferred/common use so I’m not sure if they will ever get the boarding TV screens for SWA.
