Last summer, Metro started installing flat screen monitors throughout the system. For months, they remained off, serving only to to block the kiosk clocks.
Yesterday, some of them appeared to come to life--as clocks.
Hopefully, Metro has more ambitious plans for them, but they've been tight lipped about what these displays will eventually show.

three words: dry erase boards.
Every time I see something like this, I'm convinced those running Metro never ride Metro.

Totally worth the $46.5 million.

On a more serious note, what's the chance that these TVs will display their information as a slide show, one bit at a time, so you have to wait to see all the delays out wait through all the delay announcements to see the time. Something able to be accomplished with a much cheaper LED sign.
Chance of metro implementing a sensible layout for the displays: very slim.

Also, given that the smarttrip machines were not ADA-compliant (they didn't have Braille and couldn't talk), what are odds that these displays will also be kept off since they are not usable by blind Metro riders?
