I don't think your question is a dumb question at all.I have heard both. But not being a native New Yorker myself, I do remember a long time ago while I was visiting, I would ride the number 7 train from Willets Point, and when would pull into Queensboro Plaza, the announcement went something like: "Queensboro Plaza, change for the "Double R" train to Manhattan or Astoria". They used to also say, "Queensboro Plaza, change for the BMT". What I thought was kinda interesting was on a recent trip from Manhattan to Astoria on either the W or N (I can't remember which), the announcement was, "Queensboro Plaza, change for the IRT across the platform". I was surprised by that. |
