Swiss Cottage Station Screen Shows Wrong Info

Riders catching buses at Swiss Cottage Station shouldn't trust what they see on departure screens. The digital display has been incorrectly showing bus stop L as closed for weeks, even though buses continue to stop there normally, transit officials said. The error has confused passengers who rely on the screens to plan their journeys.
The display malfunction started in mid-January and continued through early February, according to reports from riders. Transit agencies typically use digital screens to provide real-time service information, but technical glitches can sometimes cause displays to show outdated or incorrect status messages. Officials didn't say what caused the screen to display false closure information or when the system will be fixed.

Buses Operating Normally Despite Screen Error

Bus stop L continues to operate with regular service despite what the departure screen indicates, officials confirmed. All scheduled buses are stopping at the location as planned, and no actual service disruptions have occurred. The problem affects only the digital information display system, not the physical bus operations. Officials haven't said how many routes use stop L or how many riders have been affected by the confusing screen information.
Transit officials didn't provide a timeline for fixing the departure screen display error. The agency hasn't said whether similar screen malfunctions have occurred at other stations or what steps are being taken to prevent future display errors. Officials said riders should proceed to bus stop L as usual if that's their intended boarding point.
