  • Add train departure boards on non-platform areas and in nearby high traffic areas (e.g. malls, campus centres)
  • Provide network-wide train and bus status information at all major transit stations
  • Update announcements on all MAX BRT and LRT lines to include transfers to other priority transit network lines. 
  • Design and publish a step-by step procedure and communications plan to handle small and large disruptions, which may include temporary stop closures, single track operations and weather updates.
  • Implement timely, weather-resistant, and user-friendly physical signage at stops for all closures and detours, beyond current digital notifications.
  • Restart on an ongoing basis, the 2013 transit etiquette campaign to promote courteous behaviour among bus and train riders.
