Look at all the so-called justifications that have been offered here in support of this lie!

"It's Good For The Riders"
"It's Because We Don't Have A Computer Program"
"The Riders Don't & Can Not Listen For Announcements Or Read Signs"
"The Conductors Are Not Capable Of Making Announcements"
"It's For The Upper East Side Folks & Tourists"
"It's To Not Panic Astoria Folks - It's A Traumatic Experience To Take The Wrong Train"
"Because Some Mucky Muck On High Decided This - They Can Not Be Questioned"
"Because The Terminal Belongs To The Q-Train"
"Because This Ruse Is A Superior Thing To Telling The Truth"
"Because Manhattan East Side Riders Are More Important Than Brooklyn Riders - So Let's Confuse Brooklyn Riders."
"The Riders Are Simply Too Stupid For Complexity"

The really tough thing about telling a lie - is that one has to remember the lie, and to repeat it. The truth does not need that much care - it just comes out effortlessly.

Simply just marking those N-trains as N-trains is simple. Those are N-trains that travel to/from 96th Street-Second Avenue - big deal.

Compare this to the #5 trains to Utica Avenue - which has been going on for decades. So what a number of #5 trains travel to/from Utica Avenue - it has been and is currently listed in the schedule and other places. There was never a "need" to disguise these trains as #4 trains until a certain station and then reveal that they are #5 trains, etc.

The fact that until a month ago a handful of N-trains ended or began their runs at 57th Street-Seventh Avenue was not a big-deal. Extending those same trains to now end or begin at 96th Street-Second Avenue should also not be a big deal.

It is the effort to make something that should be really simple - into this complex operation by disguising trains and silly justifications, etc. That is the "tell" - the indication that effort is wrong.
