Posted by Michael549 on Sun Jan 22 20:34:46 2017, in response to Re: N to 96/2, posted by randyo on Sun Jan 22 18:19:55 2017. Randyo asked:"Doesn’t anyone remember the massive route changes of 1976 when the EE and K were eliminated?" YES, I DO!! That is why I think the support for this "N\Q transgender train" is just so wrong! These trains are just N-trains and should simply be labeled as such. Riders are usually intelligent human beings who are capable of READING and LISTENING to announcements. It really does not matter that the Second Avenue line opened on the Upper Eastside - those folks are similar to New Yorkers in other parts of the city. If they have been dealing with "interesting travel options" for decades - they can easily handle a few extra rush hour trains lableled "N". The whole "confuse the riders" rationale is silly. The whole "96th Street-Second Avenue Is A Q-Train terminal" rationale is also silly. Just because a certain line uses a particular terminal does not mean that every "train" that operates out of that terminal can only be labeled for that line. The "Q-train" no more "owns" the 96th Street-Second Avenue terminal than the "N-train owns the Astoria terminal." The N-train was never the only train route that operated out of Astoria. What happens when the T-train is established? Trains that were to be labeled "T" have to labeled "Q"? Silly. Silly! Euclid Avenue may currently be the Brooklyn terminal for the "C-train" by no means has every train that originated from there a "C" train. I wonder just what train route "owns" the 71st Avenue-Forest Hills terminal. When the reasons that attempt to support or justify an action are silly - then the entire operation becomes ever more silly, as folks try to further justify the operation. The idea that a computer program of the FIND system limits our options as humans is just more silliness. Who is in charge of the MTA - computers or intelligent human beings? Mike |
