I had a letter printed in the NY Tmes at the time saying that it was dumb to renumber the crosstown routes using the next vacant numbers, like renumbering the 23 Street Crosstown from M15 to M26, when they could have numbered it M23 to match the street name since that number and all the other major crosstown street numberswhere buses operated were also not being used like M34, M42, M59, M72, M86, and M96.In 1984, I made the same suggestion to the Director of Operations Planning at a job interview who in effect told me it was a dumb idea and didn't give me the job. Three weeks later he took my suggestion and renumbered all the Manhattan Crosstown routes just as i suggested and they remain that way today. |
