Posted by Motor Coach Industries on Wed Apr 6 15:12:05 2005, in response to DUH! Even NYCT can't tell the one from the nine, posted by Newkirk Plaza David on Wed Apr 6 12:48:33 2005. Not a big deal really.Technically, yes they are wrong. But almost everyone I know refers (including myself) reffers to the whole West Side line as the 1 and 9. Even on a weekend, I'll say 'I'm takin the 1 'n 9 up to Times Sq', etc... The 1 and the 9 are so commonly paired, it's just that way. The Broadway Line has a similar effect. My father who used to work at the WTC and commuted via Ferry and BMT or IRT to WTC (or walked =P) always reffered, and still to this day reffers to both lines as either the 1 'n 9, or the N 'n R. Just subway slang I guess. |
