I just stood there cursing at the display wondering how the hell anyone could think this is beneficial. However, getting off at Van Ness station recently I was pleasantly surprised to see a redesigned Beta version of a new and improved MUNI display (sorry, can't find pics). ...incorporates many of your recommendations, ...it is much much better.

Yours reminds me of one that generated a fair amount of online discussion a couple of years ago. A student at London College of Communication undertook the redesign of the London Underground map to account for travel time: http://www.oskarlin.com/2005/11/29/time-travel/ Whether you agree that the resulting map is an improvement or not, the evolution of the design is worth checking out.
