Different companies built them 2. Stations do have subtitles on station signage, if not on the map 3. Said subtitles may or may not be used by C/R in official or unofficial manner 4. Possible desire to keep things short and sweet - remember, extra letters/words means extra costs in a whole lotta ways 5. Not wanting to mess with what for the most part works - don't create a solution for a problem that less than a significant amount of people are having 6. People are supposed to be smart enough to know wtf they are going - while some things have been dumbed down, not everything has yet |
