Around the world, it is common for a trunk line that opens up to various branch lines (at either or both ends) to be referred to with just one color and/or letter (e.g. RER in Paris). But in NYC that really wouldn't fly because the outer-borough branches sometimes provide service to multiple Manhattan trunk lines and some lines are express on branches while others are local.I personally don't think that naming trunk lines by color will get too far in NYC. It may be thrown around by those who are regularly in a spot where it's clear (such as 23rd St) but most commuters who leave Midtown know that the colors blur (no pun intended) rather quickly and so they will usually stick with the letter/number for referring to a line. |
