Posted by Jackson Park B Train on Tue May 31 14:37:38 2022, in response to Re: Guess The Location...easy peasey (maybe), posted by randyo on Tue May 31 04:23:23 2022. Much as I liked the single/double designation scheme, the merged B division just has too many combinations to stick with the design. The need for at least one yard near a terminal to reduce deadheads, and the rider demands for particular routes (insisting on a B'way-Brighton rather than 6th Ave-Brighton) are more important than preserving a route naming scheme. As an example, a particular bus route near where I live has been 72P (for Point) became 73 when a new guy became director of planning only to then become 72M (as in MacDonald Ave which leads to the Point neighborhood) with zero change in actual route. A completely stupid expense of re-badging every bus stop sign on the 10+ mile route as well as the physical sign rolls, then the digital programming when the older fleet were scrapped. None of that nonsense gave riders a single extra frequency, greater schedule adherence, or faster throughput.While I am not a fan of 'color' systems especially when multiple routes run on a trunk segment, at least there are more colors than usable alphabet letters. |
