Digital Customer Information Centers are rolling out systemwide, and we just installed screens throughout Jay St-MetroTech.
We are installing screens in different parts of the station. Screens will bring you real-time elevator and escalator status information, station alerts, and even dynamic train arrival information.
Look out for alerts on screens before the turnstiles, so if there is a service change or elevator outage, you can change your travel plans before you swipe your MetroCard.
The digital screens:
- bring real-time service information to all customers, including those who may have difficulty hearing announcements,
- highlight the status of elevators and escalators in the station, so you can make travel plans before you enter the station,
- provide more detailed, real-time service information than we can on a paper sign.
As part of the Accessible Station Lab, we are testing:
- different ways to display real-time information on these screens, including Elevator and Escalator status information.
- new designs to ensure that information on these screens is presented in the most visually accessible way.
