Buried in this article about the Straphanger's report for best/worse of the year is the following: "As for communication on the platform, starting with the L train next month, electronic message boards will tell riders when the next train will arrive.

No longer will you have to take your metrocard out of your wallet to get onto the subway. The city (along with Citi) is piloting an RFID speedpass program, that will allow people to just waive their wallet to get into the subway. The pilot of 600,000 "select" customers begins in a few months.

Heads up all you BillBurgers/East Villagers, the MTA has started testing the computer based train control system on the L train between midnight and 5am nightly. There is still a conductor on board in case something goes wrong, but the computer should be driving you around. Anyone notice any hiccups? Maybe we'll get those "next train coming in 3 minutes" boards up soon too!
