New SEptember 2014 Map in subway cars

Posted by Allan on Sat Sep 13 15:26:33 2014

A September 2014 map has been placed in subway cars.

It has the R back in the Montague Tube AND a new feature -

At the bottom of the box at the upper right they have added another box to show changes to specific routes for weekend and late nights.

[This new feature stands out on the map as it shows the bullets and under the bullet the change for weekend/late night.]

[[[It is about time they did this]]]

It appears that this version has not been updated to the website yet.

I do not know if the new map has been placed into distribution yet.

They are replacing the subway maps on the subway cars, platforms and station mezzanine area first. Probably in the next few days, it will be in the subway booths.

So now the official terminology for the Montague tunnel routing is "via Lower Manhattan," and not "via tunnel"?

More BMT terminology tossed out the window in favor of ambiguity.

Some people think Canal Street is "Lower Manhattan", and that would included the Manhattan Bridge.

Notice there is no G/J transfer. That was temporary, and against the TA's convictions.

at least the R-160s still mention the old BMT titles (Sea Beach, Brighton, Culver) on their side signs.

Not yet on mta.info, though. Nor is today's announcement listed yet.

You may want to recheck that with your sources.

Today (Monday), I decided to ask at the station that I get on (Bronx) and then again at the station I got off (mid-Manhattan - major station)

The station in the Bronx had the June 2013 edition and the one in Manhattan had the April 2014 edition.

I wound up get some at 347 Madison (lobby) where they had December 2013 editions in the same rack as the September 2014 edition.

The MTA has a serious communications/continuity issue in regard to map distribution. When a new map edition comes out, the previous ones should be collected for paper recycling. Everyone should be on the same page at the same time when it comes to subway information.

Recycling - what was I thinking - it would make sense and that is taboo in the MTA.
