It always seemed to me that there was an attempt to group and serialize BMT service letters by terminal and mainline in the same way as the IND.In the east, one group oriented around the Broadway mainline (J/K), a connection to it serving a similar geographical area and sometimes connecting to it (L), and a branch of said mainline (M). By sheer coincidence, J was the next letter available after the IND sequence, so it greatly helps passengers understand the new naming scheme. In the south, the group is oriented around Coney Island (N/Q/T), with a branch (R). Of course, to remain purely sequential, R should have been the West End, and T the Bay Ridge. Maybe the TA figured that with Chrystie St and the B extension on the way, they wouldn't want to break the N/Q/R sequence. |
