The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority has taken some of the mystery out of ground transportation at Logan International Airport. A new LED sign will count down the minutes until the MBTA’s Silver Line bus rapid transit service arrives at Terminal C, with signs to be installed at other terminals eventually. The sign was inspired by an MBTA employee who saw a similar display at the Philadelphia (PA) airport; according to The Boston Globe, the sign is “only loosely related” to the MBTA’s other real-time information activities. The hope is that countdown signs will remove some of the confusion about the Silver Line service and encourage more travelers to choose transit over taxis. “Having used it myself, frankly, in the past, it can be a mystery,” said MassDOT secretary and former MBTA general manager Richard A. Davey about the Silver Line service. “And I ran the T.” Link to full story in The Boston Globe.
