When you step off the Metro Tunnel train at Anzac station and want to know when the next tram is should one need to listen to over 3 minutes of announcements before you know? Or is there a better way? I investigate.
As you might have gathered, I'm a fan of time rather than route order for departure information. Especially on common corridors where most people are able to catch the next arriving tram or bus.
If we have information that tells people what they want to know within 10 or 20 seconds rather than ten times that then the network becomes more efficient. This is especially important in space constrained locations (like CBD tram stops) where you want to get people on their way as soon as possible to distribute loads and minimise crowding.
