There are many non-regular riders of the subway, who might benefit from street information within the name and city residents from other boroughs - same for these latter, if they seldom ride to another borough, that is out of their normal daily path. So I fall on the side of naming stations with some street identification within the neighborhood. Naming a station Forest Hills or Ridgewood, doesn't really tell travelers where they are going specifically within those neighborhoods - large areas within each borough (former towns) with dozens of streets in the vicinity of the station location, so a street name in the location would be helpful (and preserve borough history). I like the way compound station names sound anyway (which has nothing to do with efficient station naming theory). I like Myrtle Wyckoff, and always liked "Broadway-Nassau." Paris has some cool ones like Denfert-Rochereau, Censier-Daubenton, etc. |
