This is great, I'm never gonna have to wait for a streetcar again (unless the system breaks...)

The TTC announced today that, in addition to Dundas station, 12 more stations are now equipped to display the next train arrival time. These stations are: Finch, Union, King, Queen, Eglinton West, St. George, Bay, Yonge, Keele, Bloor, High Park, and St. Andrew. The TTC says more stations will be added throughout the year.
I noticed this week that they are turning them on, on the Danforth line now. Pape was active early this week, and I spotted Woodbine on Friday.
I always figured that they didn't have that much utility during peak periods ... on the other hand, I walked onto the platform at Woodbine, saw that it said 3 minutes until the next train, and turned around and walked back to grab a newspaper at the newsagent in the mezanine. Perhaps there's something to this after all!
It's bizarre though, that there is still no display unit in place eastbound at Pape - I'd have thought if they were trying to hit the busier platforms, that would have been up there.
What was the timeframe that all of these units were to be in place? I'm surprised it's dragged out this long.
A display was supposed to be installed at the northbound 510 stop at Dundas/Spadina in the spring, but it still hasn't materialized as of yet. Finch Station is going to receive displays by the end of the year on the bus platforms.
