I've not seen these mentioned here yet, so:

They're solar-powered. They glow in the dark. They have a cool blue
button that makes the backlight for the paper timetables glow a bit
brighter.


Darkness doesn't prevent me from reading the paper timetables -- existing
streetlights do the job just fine.


No they don't. The timetables on the two bus stops I use on a regular
basis are unreadable at night because the street lights don't cast any
light onto the timetable boards. In neither case would simply rotating
the timetable board 90° fix the issue.
