Actually, the lines that eventually became the IND were supposed to continue the BMT’s route numbering system since after Hylan left office ad mayor, the city offered the BMT the opportunity to operate the new lines. The BMT declined because it would have been stuck with the nickel fare which it wanted increased so the city was forced to come up with a new system for designating its routes so the letter system was developed. The IRT never had route numbers till the R-12s were ordered and the B of T decided to assign numbers to the IRT routes even though they conflicted with the BMT numbers. |
