What color would you like to see the MTA adopt for their flashing lights on Select buses?

Last Tuesday, we had that post about the MTA discontinuing the flashing blue lights on the M15 Select buses on First and Second Avenues... apparently there were complaints because people thought the bus was an emergency vehicle.

We had a discussion about it in the comments.

Well, EVG regular Spike, who told us about all this in the first place, received an email from the MTA with some clarification:

New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law restricts the use of flashing blue lights to emergency-response vehicles only.

Per Spike: "Sounds better then 'stupid people couldn't tell the difference between a bus and an ambulance.'"

And now the MTA is testing new colors for the Select buses.

Spike is pulling for abalone shell or mother of pearl. And we're going with caput mortuum — Latin for "worthless remains," which captures how we feel riding the bus at times.

[Updated] And how was your commute? Confusion on First Avenue as Select Bus service moves to different stop

Readers and patrons of the M15 Select Bus service on First Avenue are noting a lot of confusion this morning... on Saturday, the MTA removed the M15 Select Bus ticket machines from the stop at First Avenue between Second and Third streets ...

...and moved them to First Avenue at First Street... where the new bus bulb thingy is...

[A more tranquil yesterday]

All fine. Except that the MTA apparently didn't tell anyone that this was happening.

Per a reader, waiting for a bus:

"People who usually catch the select bus on 3rd and first are all confused this morning. machines are gone other commuters informed us they were moved here to first and first. lots of people dressed for work and running down first ave."

Welcome to the newly placed machines...

Any other Select Bus stories to share today? (Or any other day...)

Updated 9:27 a.m. — @Newyorkist said that the M15 drivers had continually announced the coming changes ...
