Has the monorail always had a time posted above the entrance?

When you're leaving the MK and getting on the Express monorail and you walk under the sign/arch...has there always been a wait time posted on the top of the sign/arch?

I saw this for the first time ever today, lol.

Wasn't there at our visit in early October.

No. It's new.

Noticed it the first time on our very recent trip too. We left after wishes on a Saturday night and it was showing 25 minutes, which was quite depressing as it had taken nearly that long to get down Main Street from the castle

OK, good. I feel better! I thought maybe I'd missed it for years.

I believe adding the times to the
Monrail and boat was a part of the MM+ project. Bus waits are next

FP+ for the monorail next

Yep, its pretty new. Noticed it a few months ago when I went.

Bus stops should have been first (beyond the one or two test locations). You can guess when a monorail or ferry will likely arrive, since you can essentially see them along their entire route (excluding EPCOT). Have bus wait time boards, if they ever get around to finishing that project, will be epic.

It would definately save a lot of time. I personally don't really think a monorail/boat wait time is needed, but a bus wait time would be very helpful

I think the problem with a bus wait time, right now at least, is that hardly any of the buses continually run the same route. Once they reach a destination, the little black box up front tells them where to go.

But the master dispatch system knows (well, it SHOULD know) approximately how far away a dispatched bus is from any given bus stop. Even if Bus A isn't headed back to the place it came from, Bus Z is - and the computer knows this.

Fair point that I hadn't considered
