As a semi-frequent rider of the 2, I don't bother with the strip maps as I can have a 5 line's train on the 2 and vice versa.
That said, the exterior signs are the big deal as a t/o-c/r needs only to push in a program and the train is automatically set for either the 2 or 5 lines vs manually changing all the signs on the train to the 2 or the 5.

I'm too young to remember what it must've been like when the 2/5 was redbird only, but that couldn't have been any fun to manually change back all the signs if they needed a train on another line at the last moment. Right now things are pretty flexible, if either line is running behind, they can take whatever train pulls in at Flatbush and put that on the line that needs the service right away.
