THe M could be an "orange" service too. The only reason the the V was used is because thanks to the TA's policy of eliminating double letters, the agency was running out of letters and had to opt for something new to call which would have traditionally have been called a "FF." If the routes were to be combined, logically, the lower letter in the alphabetic series should be used and that would be the M. If on the other had, the V would be combined with the Z, then the lower letter in the alphabetic series would be V and that letter should be used and the Z designation dropped. When the B-34 and B-1 buses in Bkln were combined in the 1980s, the combined route was renumbered with the lower number "1" and the number "34" fell into disuse. |
