Nah, I doubt it’s a budget issue as much as it is a lack of priority. Does it affect the trains ability to run? No. It’s not a pressing issue that needs to be fixed ASAP. I assume when the train gets routine maintenance, they may inspect the rollsigns as well, other than that, it’ll continue displaying 57th-7th Ave. Doesn’t the 96th rollsign just replace one of the previous existing terminals? Can’t imagine it being all that expensive.
