And not one of your posts actually addresses what happened in REALITY, when those (N) ended at 57th Street. Do you really honestly think there are everyday regular passengers who lose sleep thinking how the MTA is being dishonest about (N) trains being disguised as (Q)? That is a made up issue.The REALITY was that people weren't happy when their (N) stopped short of Lexington. Riders heading to Astoria will give a shit when they hear their (N) suddenly announces it will run up 96th Street. No amount of side signage will change that. People don't find that easy in the first place. They just care whether their train is an (N) or a (Q). The REALITY is that people are highly likely to think their (N) is going to Astoria. The REALITY is that people know the (Q) goes to 2nd Avenue. Simple. All the other services with different terminals (the (A), (6), (5)) dedicate a huge amount of service to alternation. It is imperative that the MTA tell them on a map and reinforce through signs everywhere in a station and on a train that there are (A) trains that to Lefferts or to the Rockaways. The REALITY is people are accustomed to those noticeable services. But a few (N) a day that run on 2nd Avenue? Very few people besides operators, conductors, and railfans know that. So when they will see that program, they'll just hope the sign is wrong. It is very clear you are more concerned with aesthetics than you are with actual rider behavior. You are more OBSESSED with making things "even". You can't STAND the thought that there are (N) trains coming down 96th Street but only trains that say (Q) coming up. You keep bringing up Upper East Side riders when the focus of my posts has always been on the Astoria riders. I never even mentioned the UES riders. Why? Because it is Astoria riders that have a bigger risk of going to the wrong destination under a 2nd Avenue (N) sign that they won't be even paying attention to until the C/O announces it. The (Q) via Sea Beach is less likely to create doubt about the FINAL destination. And no, the 179th (E) situation is NOT the same and shouldn't even be compared with. |
