 {
  "signs": [
    {
      "message-id": 6,
      "agency-id-tcip": "2008",
      "agency-id": "MTA NYCT",
      "message-text": "NOT IN SERVICE"
    },
    {
      "message-id": 7,
      "agency-id-tcip": "2008",
      "agency-id": "MTA NYCT",
      "message-text": "SUBWAY SHUTTLE"
    },
    {
      "message-id": 10,
      "agency-id-tcip": "2008",
      "agency-id": "MTA NYCT",
      "message-text": "SEE SIGN BELOW"
    },
    {
      "message-id": 11,
      "agency-id-tcip": "2008",
      "agency-id": "MTA NYCT",
      "message-text": "NEXT BUS PLEASE"
    },
    {
      "message-id": 12,
      "agency-id-tcip": "2008",
      "agency-id": "MTA NYCT",
      "message-text": "NOT IN SERVICE"
    },
    {
      "message-id": 13,
      "agency-id-tcip": "2008",
      "agency-id": "MTA NYCT",
      "message-text": "TRAINING BUS"
    },
    {
      "message-id": 22,
      "agency-id-tcip": "2008",
      "agency-id": "MTA NYCT",
      "message-text": "NYCT BUS"
    },
    {
      "message-id": 1010,
      "agency-id-tcip": "2008",
      "agency-id": "MTA NYCT",
      "message-text": "HARLEM 147 ST via MADISON AV"
    },
    {
      "message-id": 12,
      "agency-id-tcip": "2118",
      "agency-id": "MTABC",
      "message-text": "NOT IN SERVICE"
    },	
    {
      "message-id": 5010,
      "agency-id-tcip": "2118",
      "agency-id": "MTABC",
      "message-text": " RIVERDALE 263 ST via H. HUDSON PKY "
    }
  ],
  "status": "OK"
 }

Alternatively, the API can return bus information for a single DSC:

 {"sign":{"message-id":6740,"agency-id-tcip": "2008","agency-id": "MTA NYCT","message-text":"ST GEORGE FERRY"},"status":"OK"}
