Posted by Snilcher on Tue Nov 19 14:50:44 2024, in response to Re: ''Bay Ridge / Shore Rd'', posted by BrooklynBus on Tue Nov 19 10:06:40 2024. The B17 Remsen Ave Glenwood Branch would be signed “subway” in both directions because Eastern Parkway Utica was at one end and the L was at the other. The operator didn’t have to change the roll sign.That's pretty lame IMHO. The purpose of a roll sign is not only to declare the final destination (or branch when there are multiple branches) but to let the customer know which direction the bus is going in. The then-M3 in Manhattan used to have a roll sign that merely said "3 - 49 & 50 CROSSTOWN" with no direction or destination stated. I guess they figured that if you were on 49th St. or 50th St. that was sufficient to tell you whether you were heading east or west. |
