I wonder if they are also using R numbers for more types of contracts than they did back in the earlier days.For example in the period 1930-1975 the R numbers are virtually sequential and with the exception of very few skips. The period 1980-2010. During those 45 years I count approximately 35 car types and the numbers ran from R-1 through R-46. In the 35 years since there have been only 5 car types and there has been an explosion of over 100 R-numbers. Did the MTA at some point decide to use the sequence for many more types of contracts than the sequence was originally intended or used for? |
