Borough Prefix

Posted by Spider-Pig on Mon Sep 23 15:43:45 2024

Why is it that Brooklyn gets the plain B but Bronx uses Bx?

There is no X in Brooklyn.

I would enjoy seeing Brooklyn get K. It would be especially fun near places like Ridgewood and Broadway Jct where the Kings routes would meet the Queens routes in numbers.

Unfortunately the trend went in the opposite direction from what your B->K proposal entails. Rather than switching from borough name to county name, buses in Staten Island went from the county name (R) to the borough name (S), an especially poor decision because this conflicts with the Suffolk County prefix designation.

I believe that it was because the Borough of Richmond became the Borough of Staten Island in 1975. Of course, it's still the County of Richmond.
