That's interesting. Worked on a service based on TFL (London) data, and they were incredibly picky about ensuring people would not get misled by signage. Of course sometimes there are tradeoffs, but they had extensive rules to ensure the tradeoffs minimised negative experiences. E.g we had to take any buses off the boards if the data was more than x seconds old, never ever allow enough clock drift or other issues to cause our displays to be off by more than a certain amount, clear the whole display if we got no api response within a certain amount of time etc.

It was very annoying to implement, but as a user it is very nice to know how much thought has gone into it.
