Because the BMT line letters were establish based on the home BRANCH line in Bkln rather than any other criterion. I feel the same way about the IND Letter designations which were ruined recently by the cesspool of incompetence that passes for NYCT planning. The original IND route letters were set up to combine the uptown branch lines with the Manhattan trunk lines. B belongs to Wash Hts and C belongs to the Concourse but the misguided elimination of double letters caused the confusion that exists today. Even with the elimination of the double letters, a more “correct” naming of routes can be established bringing back the intended purpose of the letters. |
