Personally I find them some of the most useful bus
information I've ever used in this country.

Yes, I agree with that.

They're the first thing I look for when I'm
at a big interchange I haven't used before.

I'm surprised to find John so anti them.

Incidentally, the market research which approved them was presumably
performed on the original half-dozen or so specimens, into which the

look churned out with no thought to usability. To carry out market research
in this way does not serve the public.
