destination signs

Where buses go

Destination signs are the displays on buses, trains, and other transit vehicles showing where they're headed.

Traditional versions used roller blinds with printed destinations; modern ones are typically LED or LCD screens.

The term also applies to highway signs indicating cities or exits ahead: The destination sign read "Downtown via Main Street".
