After looking at this map:

I am curious as to why there is a distinction between IRT/BMT/IND lines and the elevated. I understand that they are older, but the Third Avenue Line was operated by the IRT, so it seems strange that the Jerome Avenue line should be in bold blue while the Third Avenue line is only a thin strip of black. It seems to be an attempt to downplay the role of the elevateds, even though they were still serving as crucial transportation links.

Any opinions/knowledge?
