It seems pretty clear from the project agreement that the train proximity lighting is a requirement.
14.9 Design Elements of Continuity and Variability
(a) Project Co. must create various elements of LRT Stop classified as either:
(i) Constant elements for all LRT Stops (elements of continuity)
(ii) Unique elements for each LRT Stop (elements of variability)
"...reflect system branding."
"System-wide Constant Elements: LED Light signalling LRT vehicle proximity"
And just so no one thinks they are referring to the variable message signs the language above is clearly different language from below:
"At least one centrally located Variable Message Signs (VMS) per platform used to display next train information and any other special messages issued by Central Control."
I am also disappointed with this news. It seems ridiculous that in this day and age, in this high-tech town, that this is not possible. As it has been said many times on this board, by many users, it is the little things, the details, that make for a memorable experience and will drive ridership.
"Provide a comfortable ambient environment, adequate lighting, personal comfort, aesthetic quality, supplementary services, weather protection, and security. As the time spent by patrons in aggregate is substantial, the environment for patrons waiting for a LRT train must not only be safe and secure, but should also be enjoyable, comfortable and informative."

Everyone move to the back of the bus and we all get home faster.
