  Thinner font but fatter numbers?

  Has been seen on SBS7491X on 88.

  Seems like a LECIP reprogramming.

  Edit: Also seen on 3601 and 3609 and 3282.

  Another spotted on 7414.

  Thinking about it, should we make a thread to catalogue these changes? It seems like a systematic update.

  Did you see it today? Because today SBS2600G cameoed on svc 29. It actually has the old Give way to buses sticker, though it looks new. Maybe they want to switch back to the old one?

  

  Actually I was surprised when I saw this, I always thought SBS651Y was the last bus to have that sticker.
