  • Buses and Subways to report inaccurate information on bus arrival signs or any other issues with an MTA bus

Real-Time Passenger Information (RTPI) electronic signs display the number of minutes until the next bus arrives at a bus stop. The signs also include a button to allow riders to hear the real-time bus arrival information.

Digital sign attached to a MTA bus pole with bus countdown timers and a digital WalkNYC map sign with bus countdown timers.

You can report a Real-Time Passenger Information (RTPI) bus sign in need of repair.

Conditions include:

  • Poles that are bent, loose, or leaning
  • Electronic screen has wrong information
  • Electronic screen has no power
  • Display panels open, dangling, or fallen
  • Audio announcements too low, too loud, or not working
  • Graffiti

Call 311 or 212-NEW-YORK (212-639-9675) to report the problem.

You can request a new Real-Time Passenger Information sign placed on a bus stop sign pole.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) works with the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) and local elected officials to determine where to install RTPI bus signs.
