What Windsor Terrace, Kensington Are Saying About Bus Countdown Clocks

WINDSOR TERRACE, BROOKLYN — On Monday, Patch brought you the news that bus countdown clocks are on their way to Windsor Terrace and Kensington after a handful went live in Park Slope and Cobble Hill.

City Councilman Brad Lander said he's asked the MTA to place the next round of clocks in the southern half of his district, which runs from Carroll Gardens and Cobble Hill through Park Slope, Gowanus, Windsor Terrace and Kensington.

We saw a range of reaction on Facebook, both on the Windsor Terrace-Kensington Patch Facebook page and other neighborhood groups. (You can also get our daily newsletter and breaking news alerts by subscribing here.)

Here's a sampling of the reaction:

I wish this method will work, because some buses are so a reliable for example the B 68 coming from 15 Prospect Park the round to Coney Island is always late and unreliable.. once I waited for the bus 1 hour and 40 minutes to get home.

What are the chances it will be more reliable than the existing MTA BusTime app?. If so, then great - but if it feeds the same info as the app, then a waste of money
- James Lola

They do not work. Half the buses have [××] on the display.
- James Mullen

This is a good thing.
