destination sign

Bus front label

A destination sign is a display on the front, side, or rear of a public transit vehicle showing where it's headed.

Buses and trains use destination signs so passengers can identify the correct vehicle: The destination sign read "Downtown via Main Street".

Modern versions are electronic and can change between routes; older ones used printed rollsigns.
