Miami and other major cities have had bilingual signs for decades. What's the big deal?

Signs aren't free. That's the big deal.

To clarify my previous remarks—if signs are paid for with private funds, no problem. The fact that Metrorail is a Federally-funded entity leads me to balk at plans like this.

Nothing is stoping foreign-language groups from printing up and distributing materials in their own language on using the Metrorail system, or any other mass-transit system.

Yeah, well the reality is we have a lot of Spanish-speaking people and we have signs in English and Spanish. Nothing is about to change.

They also take up alot of space.

Imagine having even 10 languages on 1 sign/set of signs; try finding as you drive by exactly which 1 will tell YOU in YOUR language in a timely manner how to proceed!
