Come this spring, commuters on the Market-Frankford Line will be able to countdown just how long they will need to wait for the next train.
It might not sound like much as other major metropolitan areas have -- quite literally -- counted on this technology for years. But, come the end of March, SEPTA will begin installing countdown clocks on signage along the Market-Frankford Line.
Andrew Busch, spokesperson for the mass transit company, told NBC10 that once the city's most popular line has this technology in place -- which could take a year to implement -- SEPTA plans to add similar clocks next to the Broad Street Line, then the trollies and the Norristown High Speed line.The clocks would count down to when the next train in set to arrive on the system's current signage. No new signs are needed, Busch said.Sign up for NBC Philadelphia newsletters.
