Eyes on the “Street”: Spokker Grabs Shots of the Fare Gates
Card reader at Union Station. All Photos: Spokker Jones/FlickrOver the weekend regular commenter Spokker posted some pictures from his Flickr feed of the fare gate installation at Union Station and Wilshire/Normandie. Spokker also shot a surprise picture for us. Apparently Metro is also experimenting with screens that update bus arrival times at some stations. I have an email to Metro staff and we’ll update that story as soon as I hear news. In the meantime, you can see many of Spokker’s fare gate shots in one place after the jump.

And here it is….the bus arrival screen!
