The E runs at 4-minute headways. Even if you knew the schedule and your watch were synchronized with NYCT's clocks, you couldn't possibly be certain that the train that you thought was scheduled to go to 179th wasn't actually its leader or its follower. Or perhaps its leader was pulled from service so your train is rerouted to Jamaica Center (which has no other service from the IND, unlike 179th, which has primarily the F).Waiting at 179th for an E is stupid unless you have lots of time on your hands. Take whatever comes first and transfer if necessary. |

Two of the four northbound E trains to 179th are scheduled to be put-ins from the yard on their previous southbound trips. I don't know why they're not signed properly in the yard before entering service for the afternoon.Perhaps reality doesn't stick to the schedule and often the other train at WTC (which has two tracks) is sent out in its stead. |

And you're going to draw a diagram when some random tourist taps you on the shoulder and asks you how to get to Port Authority as your train is pulling in? Most of us simply give the letters or numbers. The more there are, the more likely the tourist is to lose track or get confused.Much of the so-called 8th Avenue line is nowhere near 8th Avenue. |

"And you're going to draw a diagram when some random tourist taps you on the shoulder"I guess you've never seen diagrams on walls, have you? The graphic arts department makes them up, and the stations dept. mounts them in prominent places in the station. See how simple that is? Now run along and eat a cookie. |

Unless names like that appear in print, referring to lines by color alone is a problem for the colorblind. WMATA has (had?) such a problem. |

The AM Es from 179 are fairly consistent; however, those four trains are not necessarily the same four that return there in the evening. |

Or are there some R..'s(forgot the number, but the same cars the 7 use's) left. |

And if I wait for one to go home to 179 St, I shouldn't have to transfer when I find out I'm on the wrong train. LION thinks you are full of beans. Hot, Used Beans! You take the first train that will get you out of Manhattan in the direction and line of your choice, and then you can transfer to an (F) for example if you want 179th Street. Sheesh! If you are in Manhattan and must have 179th Street, and are unwilling to change trains, then just walk over to 6th Avenue instead of going to 8th Avenue. End of Problem. LION SAYS: Subway is designed to get you to work and back as easy as possible, but ALWAYS presumes that most people will have to change trains at least once. |

Good point on your part. Both words and symbols (color or shapes) should be used, to deal with both color-blindness as well as illiteracy. |

And whats this thing and you people with "Patience", I havent even said anything else, and all I hear is for me to have "Patience", yet I havent even been asking. So you guys really need to quit drinking all that coffee already. |

(And someone else said, the 10 may not fit in the digital signs). All the more proves it would be better to go with Jabbour's individual route style, with my idea of different style lines (hollow, dashed, etc) to denote part time services. |
