Not my opinion, it was the reason given when they eliminated diamonds for the Bronx B, 5 to Nereid Ave, A to Rockaway Park, and 4 at 138st (compare subway maps from before and after 2001). As for different terminals, the two Qs and the two 6s have different terminals as well.The only reason the A and C still retain separate route designations is inertia / people are used to it. If the current meaning of diamond was the one used when double letters were eliminated, the K would have never existed, it would have been the circle A and the regular A would have become the diamond A. And the B/C terminal swap could well have resulted in the C ceasing to exist as a route letter. As for equipment replacement, the equipment decision for all single digits was made after putting the double digit numbers on the R62A roll signs. That renumbering plan is deader than the NYC subway token. |
