What's In A Metro Station Name? ("The Metro board on Thursday directed staff members to rename five stations along the system's Blue, Green, and Expo light rail lines...Changing names doesn't come cheap. The cost for sign replacement begins at more than $100,000 and could reach nearly $600,000 (depending on the station's size and location). And more than station signage will have to be replaced. Recorded announcements on trains will have to be redubbed. Published maps and in-station map displays will have to be updated. Websites and automated telephone messages will have to be changed.")
