Bus Stop Announcement Banner

What do you think should be changed on the banner on the inside of the bus that displays and announces the stops?

Why do a lot of routes that stop at blue line stations say stuff like "O'Hare Blue Line" or "Forest Park" Blue Line even if they don't stop at those specific stations or only cross the Blue Line once.

Also for routes that have stops at 2 streets with the same name different suffix for example 54A Foster Street (Skokie) and Foster Avenue (Chicago) why not add St or Ave to the sign and announcement for people who are visually impaired or have are unfamiliar with the area.

For route 82 for the stops at Ogden Avenue/Central Park on the south side of the street but does not mention transferring to the Pink Line even though the station is right there.

Also the #50 passes by the United Center but does not mention it as it crosses Madison.

To answer your first question, some lines like the 49 Western stop at 2 Blue Line stations and it helps those who are visually impaired or unfamiliar with the city differentiate between the Forest Park branch of the Blue Line from the O'Hare branch of the Blue Line.

I agree with you on the rest.
