As you point out, the ROUTE does. The important distinction between the ROUTES of Northbound Broadway express trains is Astoria vs 2nd Avenue. The Sea Beach to 96th street trains follow the ROUTE of the Q train north of Canal street. There is no actual downside for almost anybody with regards to signing the train as a Q. There is a MAJOR downside to signing the train as an N. External destination signs are only visible 1/3rd of the time. Route signs are constantly visible, have substantially larger text, and there are more of them. Nobody cares where the train came from. People care where the train is GOING TO. Signing a NB 2nd avenue train as an N serves only to confuse people. Nobody at all is helped. |
