While I generally agree with your points - I believe that subway riders have to understand the concept of "transfer points".That is the stations where a major decision or a transfer to another route is possible, or would really be needed to complete one's journey. These are the stations where one can "tell the difference" between trains going either to/from one place or another. Take your example of the 1,2,4,5 and 6 - and using the Lexington Avenue subway headed north. To me there are 3 transfer/important stations - 125th Street (a must for the northern #6 train), the 149th Street-Grand Concourse station (a must that separates #4 and #5 trains), and the East 180th Street station (a must that separates #2 and #5 trains). Often if a person is able to get to one of those transfer/important points - usually the proper information will be given out for the next steps to take. For the westside/Brooklyn line, the transfer/important points are 96th Street, Chambers Street, Nevins Street, and Franklin Avenue. Paying attention and making note of the situation at the very important/transfer stations really help when trains are re-routed off of their usual paths. I know that for the other lines there are several other important/transfer stations that I not listed. Mike |
