More proof the MTA of New York City is run by dumb, unintuitive nitwits

Every Subway car has a sign that says the train's destination, and the train's origin - in that order. It does not, however, say which is the origin, and which is the destination, leaving the commuter to guess on their own. Simply adding the words "to" and "from" would mean a world of a difference.

I had thought the newer trains with the better lighting and clear-sounding announcements would have fixed this. But no, just the same of the old.

One can easily argue that the sign above on the platform is sufficient. But anyone who has been in New York for more than a week can tell you that trains frequently change routes, which is another point of grievance by subway riders.

Is it so costly to add to short words, "to" and "from" to the sign? Perhaps it is too taxing on a non-thinking mind.
