Actually, when Mayor Hylan was no longer on office and no longer had a vendetta against the BMT, The city offered the BMT the opportunity to run the new subway lines and what eventually became IND routes, were intended to continue the BMT’s route numbering system. I have a photo of an R-1 mockup that shows a number displayed in the route sign box. The BNT declined to offer to operate the new lines unless it was allowed to raise the fare above a nickel which the city refused to do. Since the city ended up having to operate the new lines, the continuity of route designations was broken so the B of T came up with the lettering system for its new subway. |
