I don't see any average current rider having any idea that there is a distinction between what was the IND and what was the BMT. Most of them probably have trouble telling that there is a difference between the IRT and the B division! Most people have no idea (or even care) that an F train can't come pulling into the Union Square IRT station.
Believe me, the biggest reaction you would get from an average rider if an announcement was made on their F train at 23rd Street-Ely Avenue that their train was going to be rerouted to Grand Central and run as a 4 train to Brooklyn, would be a "Crap, now I ha ve to get off because this train isn't going where I want it to go." You would not get any "amazement" reaction (like you would get from a train full of railfans).
You are giving the (current) average rider way too much credit to think they know the distinctions between the BMT and the IND.
