Posted by Michael549 on Sat Jan 7 20:06:37 2017, in response to Re: N to 96/2, posted by GojiMet86 on Sat Jan 7 18:51:55 2017. GojiMet86 says:"What you do not comprehend at all is that people are less likely to wind up on the wrong (N) train if it is signed as a (Q). It has nothing to do with stupidity. Whatever SMALL number of people that might have still thought those 96th Street (N) were going to Astoria won't be inconvenienced if they don't get on a train that says (Q). Simple." Let's break this down: 1) GojiMet86 says that there will be a "SMALL number of people that might have still thought those 96th Street (N) were going to Astoria ..." So if it is a "small number of folks" - then why not just label those N-trains properly as N-trains? Then the riders won't be confused. He discounts the large number of N-train riders from Brooklyn that would have to ride these mis-labeled trains to reach their destinations in Manhattan. Does he discount their dis-comfort? Yes! 2) GojiMet86 says that there will be a "SMALL number of people that might have still thought those 96th Street (N) were going to Astoria ..." GojiMet86 basically admits that LARGE numbers of Astoria riders WILL NOT be flumoxed by N-trains to 96th Street-2nd Avenue that at each station are constantly saying, "this is a 96th Street-2nd Avenue bound N-train." 3) Yes, this is slightly off-topic. Prior to the mid-1970's and the city's fiscal crisis - N-trains ALWAYS ended at 57th Street-Seventh Avenue as Broadway Express trains! Why should it ever be "shocking" that N-trains are ending their runs at 57th Street? 4) There is a difference between "stuff that happens and coping as best as one can" - and an ON PURPOSE REGULAR PRACTICE and operations supported by the TA management. 5) Being on the side of mis-labeled trains, and mis-leading the riders is not a good position. When you start with a lie ... Mike |
