   TriMet here in Portland still does it that way for bus and train.  When   
   you are looking at the paper equivalent of this:   
   http://www.trimet.org/schedules/w/t1100_1.htm   
   or this:   
   http://www.trimet.org/schedules/w/t1004_1.htm   
   I find that it helps me keep track of what line I was looking at.   
      
   This is especially the case when you see the printed timetable, and   
   realize that they are not marked AM or PM on the printed timetable, but   
   are only normal print or boldface print:

   The most recent Amtrak system timetable I have also does the boldface   
   for PM thing, but they also have A and P by the time number as well.
