This new GRTC sign stands at Semmes Avenue and West 14th Street on South Side. It is one of 300 new signs the bus company is installing — giving riders information on the buses that will stop there, and including a partial schedule for the routes.
The signs installed 20 years ago included a statement, “See Route Information On Back,” but no such information was ever posted.
So far, these more visible and informative signs are going up on three routes: 32 Ginter Park that serves part of North Side, and 72 Ruffin Road and 73 Ampthill that serve part of South Side. Installation began March 18. GRTC calls it a pilot project and wants customer feedback on the signs.
The company, which began work on the new signs eight years ago, is promising to replace the 1,700 other signs on its remaining bus routes by 2017.
