After the weekend start of DST in the US, "Metro riders pay for extended peak period" per the Washington (DC) Post: http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/trafficandcommuting/metro-riders-pay-for... @dashdashado
Digital readerboards on older TriMet buses in Portland won't reflect yesterday's DST switch until April, because they're based on an old dispatch system programmed years ago when DST began in April. The old system is no longer supported and TriMet says it can't be changed. So the clocks will be off by an hour for a month, just like last March. See: Rose J. Daylight Saving Time: TriMet clocks, Monday morning commute might have trouble adjusting.

The author of that article has it wrong. The clock on the bus will tell them they are early, not that they are late. On Mon, Mar 11, 2013 at 6:27 PM, Paul Eggert <eggert@cs.ucla.edu> wrote:
