Whereas I thought that the renumbering of the Queens routes with letter suffixes was done in a logically consistent and easy-to-comprehend fashion. Southeast Queens routes of the form nA were changed to 8n. The formerly privately owned "A" routes in northwest Queens were given new numbers that were in range of their geographical neighbors, so that Q19A became Q69 (close to Q66 and Q67) and Q19B became Q49 (close to Q47 and Q48). Q65A became Q64 (close to Q65 and Q60), etc. And, of course, no letterless route numbers were changed.Even some of the Brooklyn reworkings had reasonably selected numbers. The B47 was the result of combining the B40 and the B78 (taking an initial digit from each), though I have reservations about reusing former route numbers when there are other choices available. I don't see why the B5 had to become the B82, though. |
