For those of us who are colour blind the lights are useless given that

least then the relative position of the lights was an aid to those who
are colour blind.

Interesting point. I don't think we have colo(u)red lights -- we have
the text display and a beep or boop.

I've not noticed any coloured lights on the subway thus far - just a
dot matrix display that says "GO" when you can go. (I'm yet to
discover what it says when you can't go, and also yet to take a bus.
But I'm here for a few more days yet, so I'll keep 'em peeled...)
