The problem with using the term “Manhattan bound” is that almost all subway lines are Manhattan bound in both directions. What complicates it more is that the M line is Queens bound in both directions so in that case either the neighborhood or the actual destination has to be mentioned. There are similar situations regarding Queens in Manhattan stations S/O 59 St where both N/B and S/B trains area also Queens bound so neighborhoods and/or actual destinations are critical. If a person at W4 St for example wants to go to Queens, he/she needs to be relatively specific since both S/B A and M trains go to one part of Queens, and N/B E, F and M trains go to a different part of Queens. As for the overuse of various neighborhood names, I do agree that except for Queens which has a tradition of using individual neighborhood names, it’s really unnecessary to use little known names like “Norwood” or “Wakefield” in descriptions. |
