When colors were introduced with Chrystie in 1967, they tried that but there are so many lines that there were a number of duplications which is why they changed to colors for trunk lines only. Even with that, the G Line and the Lex line are both green even though thenG’s color is a slightly lighter shade than the Lex. I believe that when the full SAS is eventually opened to lower Manhattan it will be a shade of blue which is similar but not identical the the 8 Av line. Maybe it’s time to think about going back to the pre Chrystie colors of the IRT, BMT and IND. The IRT can be blue, the BMT (which would be all lines that operate any part of their routes on the former BMT) can be yellow and the IND (which are lines that run only on the former IND and have absolutely no running on BMT routes) can be red. In plain language, all numbered lines would be blue, lines A, C, E, F, G, can be red, and B, D, J, L, M, N, Q, R, W, Z can be yellow. |
