SacRT can’t fix S700 announcements

When S700 rail cars approach Gold Line 29th St and 39th St, the announcements and internal displays are often incorrect, saying and showing the wrong stations. This has been going on for months, and SacRT has been unable to fix this. This is unacceptable.Sacramento · Sacramento Read Article
