Posted by Michael549 on Thu Nov 13 15:20:28 2014, in response to Re: Rider confuse on no free transfer from (R) to Fulton Center; MTA says it's a ''revenue loss'' of..., posted by BrooklynBus on Thu Nov 13 11:04:31 2014. "You know what else is dumb? The permanent R sign when the N replaces the R at night. After 1.4 billion, the MTA couldn't design an R that becomes an N when the R is not operating?"This is not a good criticism. The signage outside of a station indicates the train routes that generally serve the station during its "normal hours". Putting every possible variation on the outside signs brings up back to the days on the early IND & BMT were the exterior signage at the stairways listed almost every possible line/destination/neighborhood that could possibly be reached by that particular train route or its connections. At plenty of the newer station signage they just list the regular trains without regard to whether that route runs during the midnight hours. The signage inside the stations, on the platforms and the maps are much better for showing the service issues. For example, everybody knows that the #6 is the Lexington Avenue local, and that for the past 30-years the #4 also becomes a midnight hours local. The outside signage at the local stations still shows a #6, even though the #4 runs there midnight hours. Why confuse people? Mike |
