Bdwy Line C/R Posted July 5, 2009 Share #26 Posted July 5, 2009 How about we just go back to 1968 or 1978 when all the lines had their own color? retained their colors and were carried over to the current map. http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/caption.pl?/img/maps/calcagno-1968-system.gif http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/caption.pl?/img/maps/calcagno-1978-system.gif (NJT) :nec: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7LineFan Posted July 5, 2009 Share #27 Posted July 5, 2009 What are you talking about the(MTA)got money tons of it you just dont know anything about it but they could buy new eco and hybrid buses but I know their broke I understand that sure I do look (MTA)got plenty of money so let's stop acting like we know nothing . And how do you know that? Just because they're getting new buses? Those buses were already paid for a while ago when those contracts were signed. They're just being delivered now. And besides, there's a need for them to replace buses that could just die any day now. There's no need to make the subway a freaking kaleidoscope of color that will just confuse everyone.

mark1447 Posted July 5, 2009 Share #29 Posted July 5, 2009 Yes, let's have the MTA spend money printing new material with new colored route signs, especially right now while they are having money issues. Lets also confuse everyone by changing things. So true, like you think tourist or New Yorkers would understand the bs change. Plus i bet Albany aint paying for this LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The current color system make sit so easier to identify a line, just based on its color. You could be in Brooklyn trying to get to Sixth Avenue. If you hop on the (, you know you'll get to where you need to go along Sixth Avenue without any worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark1447 Posted July 5, 2009 Share #32 Posted July 5, 2009 This topic is so damn lame. No offense: - has hardly any money to make crap a$$ changes with the color of the routes. The had to get aid from albany cuz of the economy. Otherwise we'd all be in hell now, with bad service for 2009 and beyond! Thats why we also got a raise in fare by Quarter for regular and a dime for reduced, etc.. -We dont want to confuse passengers who are ether tourist or everyday riders. Thats why in 1979 the (NYCT) had made a change to the colors of the routes, to its current by its Main Line, to make it easier to get around the city. Unlike before that which it was colors and way before just lines (Ex. IND Concourse, IRT Lexington avenue, BMT Sea Beach, etc). More changes came in the mid-80s with the elimination of Double lettering which made Local and Special trains havd double letters for the IND (Ex. (AA)= , = , = etc) And then 2005, drops the use of Diamond services as special part time service, instead made them Express service Pelham Exp, Flushing Exp Image all that right now (Excluding the Diamond), we would be confusing passangers right now. No one would bother riding the system. So lets all settle down you know. If you want all this, well come up with over $1 Billion dollars and donate it to the ... Simple as that..

7LineFan Posted July 5, 2009 Share #41 Posted July 5, 2009 Ahhhh I donate enough it's called working for the system what can you contribute hmmm A unlimited Metrocard All I can say now is, get rid of the condescending attitude and the sarcasm. You think you're all that just because you work for Transit and we don't? Remember, the money we put into the system pays your salary. Maybe in a fantasy world these colors would be nice, but in today's world, it just wouldn't be practical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
