That's funny, the ones in the Hospitality Zone all seem to work fine

Viva Veolia!
Why are stop ID signs not at all major stops and why are so many of the new bus location monitors already broken or out of sync? I live near St. Bernard and Broad, a major RTA destination.There's a stop ID sign at the St. Bernard bus stop, but not across the street at the Broad bus stop; there are bus location monitors at both stops, but the one at the St. Bernard stop has been broken longer than it worked and the one at the Broad bus stop was first out of sync, now frozen—a joke among riders. I called RTA's automated line to get stop times for the Broad bus, but had to dial "0" for the operator since there was no stop ID sign. Dialed "0," was disconnected. Tried again, same thing. Called back, said "zero," rang, was disconnected. Tried again, same thing. Called back, cursed at the automated system instead of saying "zero," was looked at like a psycho, but felt better.
