Do you understand the infrastructure required to support “simple paper signs”? They’d have to spend days reprinting signs when something as simple as the timing for one stop on a bus route changed. Also the simple paper signs couldn’t tell people which stop is the next one: you’d have to follow along on your route map and hope you didn’t miss something.
Overall the new systems which can tell people which bus is coming and how long it’s likely to be are great, because they help remove the worry about whether the bus I am about to catch is the bus I actually want.
Google Transit beats any paper maps and signs system hands down and requires far less capital investment.
