You can repeat your post all you want.There have been plenty of times when #2 trains have been sent down Lexington Avenue or #5 trains sent down the westside line - where even though both trains will be ending up at the same Brooklyn College terminal - folks on the platforms won't board those trains! Or vice-versa on such trains leaving Brooklyn. There are plenty of other examples to cite. Why won't the riders "ride those trains?" Any number of reasons can be suggested. However the information provided by the MTA is honest information - they told riders up-front what the train is and where it is headed, at every point along the trip. This is not the bad old days of the 1970's with the graffiti with different signage from one subway car to the next one. Where the TA was lucky to even have functioning rolling stock. Where who cared whatever the signage said the train was moving until the next red flag area. Where the trains derailed on an almost hourly basis. The TA has come a long way from that, and rightfully so. This is not a case where trains are diverted for some reason, and that is why they are on the wrong line. The issue with the Uptown Q's on the N-line that turn into downtown N's is that the MTA is being dis-honest with the riders. This is a case where ON PURPOSE the MTA is tricking the riders. That is the dis-honesty with this scheme. You can talk all you want about "non-existent programs on the FIND system" - but that is just a cover for bad decision making. Dishonesty for a "good reason" is usually never a good idea. When I get on the train at 86th Street-Fourth Avenue - I do not expect to see F-trains! You can say all want that "It's for my own good, because in Queens ..." Being dis-honest is just wrong, no matter how you try to dress it up! Mike |
