I'll bet the lesser used stations, like Bowery on the BMT and Vernon-Jackson and Hunter's Point Avenue on the IRT still have bulbs in the mezzanines.Nope, not Bowery:  As for Vernon-Jackson and Hunterspoint Ave stations, I don't know about their mezzanines, but they are not "lesser used" stations by any means. Vernon-Jackson was ranked 215th in the system a couple years ago(out of 424 or so), with 1.7 million fares annually, and comparable to stations like Canal St and 125th St on the 1. Hunterspoint ranked 235th in the system with about 1.6 million fares annually, comparable to Broad St on the M and J, certainly nothing to sneeze at. But then again....even busier stations than that didn't/don't have flourescent lighting until recently..... |
