Posted by Michael549 on Sat Feb 20 22:51:47 2016, in response to Re: PRESS RELEASE Re: It's Offal? W train returning, posted by randyo on Sat Feb 20 21:21:27 2016. Gonna try this one more time:In an earlier message - someone suggested that the QB train route was named that way because the "Q" stood for Queens and that the "B" stood for Brooklyn, which reflected the reasons behind the making of the QB train. I dis-agreed with such a statement, and still disagree. I am not trying to "re-name" any of our transit route names or lines. In other messages, Joe V and others tried to explain that QB stood for Brighton line via the Manhattan Bridge (QB), in constrast to Brighton line via the Montague Street tunnel (QT). I have also said that in the subways the routes are not named after the boroughs, whether or not a particular train travels from one borough to the next, or travels only within one borough. Unlike the bus system with B-19, M-19, and Bx-19 for the number 19 bus of the Bronx, Manhattan or Brooklyn - subway routes simply do not have route names that indicate what borough these routes travel in or to/from. (The above statement is not about the route side panels that the trains display - which can show neighborhood names or borough information as a part of the destination of the train route.) Yes, certain letter designations may have been created for certain lines, and applied to the train lines served on those lines - but in a pattern having nothing in common with the bus numbering pattern. The equation of QB means "Queens & Brooklyn" is a false statement! I do not see what the problem is. Mike |
