Awesome to see @mta.info’s redesigned outside station digital info evolve.
A key improvement is not displaying arrival times for a direction you can’t actually access at that entrance, replacing it with location aware directions to another entrance.
Festive subway sign reading “New York Transit Museum Holiday train”
My son was on the train platform and noticed this and decided to wait for the train
One of the best UX improvements to transit in years.
The reader board for the train at the Essex Delancey station shows the M train as a pumpkin and little ghosts flying across the screen.
Ok, this is cute. MTA celebrates Halloween at the Essex/Delancey station. 🎃
#nyc
The arrivals board is haunted by ghosts this morning.
... and the B indicator has been replaced with a pumpkin.
Thank you, MTA person who decided to give B train riders a little joy this morning.
The orange line (D) train icon is a pumpkin! Also, spooky ghosts animate the background.
Nice Halloween theme from the MTA this morning.
MTA getting into the spooky spirit
MTA subway countdown clock with pumpkins instead of circles for the 6th avenue line bullets and ghosts flying around on it
@2avesag.as things are getting spooky around here

MTA arrival signs have little ghosts haunting the screens
Queens? What if you’re already in that borough?
Many months in the works! Live now at every station
@wafisher.bsky.social and the team at @nyctransit.bsky.social have been doing a great job improving all the digital signs across the system. Having explanations here, and readable of why things are delayed is a great for straphangers.
We’re visiting every single sign (7000) in the system to get the contextual items right!
Super impressed with the attention to detail in the new @nyctransit.bsky.social screens from @wafisher.bsky.social & team. Here at Chambers St the stairs for the E are around the corner, and for the 2,3 are to the right.
This is my first trip on @mta.info Subway seeing the new digital signage in full force. It’s accurate. It’s beautiful.
Service status messages are now persistent on one line of countdown clocks instead of the whole screen. Platform screens show position of shorter trains. It’s all so damn good! 🤩🤩🤩
My god the new countdown clock design really is such a dramatic improvement
New countdown clock design in the wild! Love it!
Awesome to see @wafisher.bsky.social’s team’s work on the new UI for @mta.info platform screens being deployed widely!
The left screen has the new combined arrival times and service change display. The right screen has the dynamic map that changes for nights and weekends. It’s world class stuff.
OKAYYYY
I consulted on the product design for this project - so exciting to start seeing them in the wild! More accurate data and consistent design coming to all Subway station screens and countdown clocks.
Huge props to @wafisher.bsky.social and his team at MTA on getting these improvements out to riders.
Love this new display format!
The @mta.info Digital Services team is still growing! We’re looking for frontend software engineers.
We work on realtime screens in the subway and apps (like TrainTime).
If you love working on impactful projects with a smart, fast-moving team, this is your job.
