No, they do mostly display other stuff too. It's just that the displays
are of such low quality that they're hard to read quickly. I suggest
that you bend down close to them and look more carefully. Of course,
this will take time and annoy everyone behind you, but that is
apparently what TfL want you to do.

Taking time like that and annoying all their other customers will save
time!

On buses, to read the screen you may have to take even more time to
put your luggage down and shade the screen with your hand because they
don't work in sunlight. But that's OK, you'll save time that way as
well!

You may now start misinterpreting what I just
