Posted by AlM on Mon May 30 15:05:05 2005, in response to Re: Kiss the ''diamond'' on the 5 train goodbye also, posted by RonInBayside on Mon May 30 14:50:16 2005. There are so many examples of multiple routings. It's all a question of where to draw the line and designate a new service. In order of decreasing importance (in terms of people likely to be confused): J/Z < 6 > to Pelham Bay or (6) to Parkchester, since express skips intermediate stations. A to Far Rock or Lefferts, or even Rock Park. N via bridge or via tunnel. 5 to 238th or Dyre. 5 to Utica, New Lots or Flatbush. Utica is slightly different from New Lots since the Utica train skips a few stations the New Lots train doesn't. E to Archer or Hillside. Also, of course, rush hour crowds are more knowledgeable as a rule than off-peak crowds, so probably by now not too many people end up on the wrong E. Also, if a route is different weekdays vs weekends, most people learn. So I would say the real issue is not the 5 but the A. Non-regular travelers have to figure this one out. What I don't understand is why NYCT would remove the < 5 > designation, except possibly for the poor excuse that they don't know which 5s will go to 238th until it's too late to change the signs. |
