Fun fact: The yellow panel is made by BUSE Blansko, a Czech transit information systems manufacturer, using their patented DOT-LED technology: back when LEDs were inefficient and it was impractical to fight sunlight with them, they were incredible by complementing the upsides of both technologies. Their flipdots were more reliable than most, and the LEDs could be turned off in the sunlight entirely.

The software used to program these panels, along with Riga's database, can be found on GitHub and it runs under Wine!
