He said he would change it. When we got to Ashfield, I saw in a shop reflection that he hadn't done it. Few stops later, another person tells him that he has the wrong sign. Driver says he'll change it. I got off at Burwood Station, the desto still had Bondi Junction on it.
I'm not sure if he actually tried to change it or there was a technical glitch preventing him from doing so.
Occasionally one of the morning route 143 buses ex Chatswood still shows "Chatswood" even though it is operating a Manly bound service.
Thankfully I haven't seen a route 144 do this yet and confuse the passengers at the Royal North Shore Hospital stop, which serves buses going both ways.
I guess we should be thankful it's not like the old MkV destos that I remember Brookvale had, where they seemed to squeeze a fair bit so much that it was hard to see until the bus more or less got to the stop.
eg.
"RNS HOSPITAL & CHATSW'D" (I remember this one given "Chatswood" had to be abbreviated)
"DEE WHY & COLLAROY PLATEAU"
"NTH SYDNEY & MILSONS PT"
"FRENCH'S FOREST & CHATSW'D" "VIA DEE WHY & NA'WEENA"
Never understood why that seemed to only been a Brookvale (and possibly Mona Vale?) thing, but the clearer the destination - from further out - the better.
