Re: R188 observations (and **sigh** disappointments) |

Posted by Broadway Buffer on Wed Nov 13 02:33:54 2013, in response to R188 observations (and **sigh** disappointments), posted by gbs on Tue Nov 12 23:08:26 2013. At 5 Av, the station name displays as "5 AVENUE", not "5 AV". Every other station name street is abbreviated, even when there's lots of room. Why is this one spelled out in full?At 74 St-Broadway, the station name displays as "74 ST", even though Broadway is an important street at that station (the IND runs under it), yet at 46 St, 40 St, and 33 St, the old rarely-used names Bliss, Lowery, and Rawson are displayed. Put back the Broadway in 74-Broadway. Probably just a minor error in consistency. The R programs in the R-160 have similar inconsistencies with LOCAL vs LCL on the Court St programs. Some of the issues like that with 5th Avenue will likely be ironed out in future updates. There were also oddities with the new R-160s when they first came out on the N, such as displaying 59th St as 59-4 or some kind of TA jargon like that which got programmed in and was corrected. The entire complex should be renamed 74th St/Roosevelt Av which is what the TA calls it on Fast track posters and one of those two names is what most passengers use to refer to it, the IND & IRT levels interchanably. Perhaps Broadway has been left out for furture consideration of eliminating it (complete speculation). |
