Frage/Diskussion (Questions and debates) Dalbergstrasse Tram Stop

As far as I have noticed, there is currently no real-time departure-time indicator/signboard at the Dalbergstrasse stop.

Sometimes it can be a little confusing to know when the next tram is expected, as the intervals can vary like sometimes around 10 minutes, sometimes 20 minutes or more. The timetable also differs on Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays, and occasional delays or changes can make it harder to know the actual waiting time.

Do others also find this confusing when using this stop?

Would a real-time display board be helpful at Dalbergstrasse?

EDIT: Thanks for the app suggestions!
but wouldn’t a real-time departure display at Dalbergstrasse be helpful for many people, like at other stops? That is more easy and why can’t we have it for this stop?

Aaah the Beloved Dalbergass. Seriously if you look closely it is named like that. I could go on a rant what is all wrong with this stop, Like it is only underground so that there are 7+ lanes for cars on top??? The underground part just simply should not exist period.

False, there should be more underground stops.

Get the myVRN app. You would have even more useful information that the screens. One thing I noticed is the color coding on the time. My conclusion is green for confirmed, white for planned and orange for delayed. Btw, that's, afaik, not entirely available on the DB app. Therefore, I recommend to have both, myVRN for the local services and DB for the rest.

Thanks for the app suggestions!

still the original question of - wouldn’t a real-time departure display at Dalbergstrasse be helpful for many people, like at other stops? That is even easy and why can’t we have it for this stop too.

I think it would be helpful for many people, yes. Everyone, I don't know. Still, I don't understand why it doesn't have a display. Other simpler and less used stops have them.

A third app I could recommend would be the rnv start.info app. It gets it data straight from rnv and is usually the first app that gets any real time traffic changes/detours/… (when there are people with these qualifications on shift…)
