jeffmorris Posted February 1, 2011 Share #1 Posted February 1, 2011 The NYCTA use colored circles with white letters and numbers on black background. Since the "S" route sign is supposed to be black circle with white "S", how is the black circle displayed on the black background? I found this website at http://www.nycsubway.org/faq/subway-markers.html but about the Rockaway Park Shuttle, is the route letter "H" or "S"?

NX Express Posted February 1, 2011 Share #2 Posted February 1, 2011 but about the Rockaway Park Shuttle, is the route letter "H" or "S"? The MTA uses H internally, but S externally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmallParkShuttle Posted February 1, 2011 Share #3 Posted February 1, 2011 On route signs, the "S" is displayed as a white letter on a gray circle on a black background. Interesting to point out are the old route signs used in the 70s which had a black "S" on a white circle on a black background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4P3607 Posted February 1, 2011 Share #4 Posted February 1, 2011 1) The is displayed in a greyish-black circle (its considered black, but it looks grey on signs). 2) the Rockaway Park Shuttle use to use . Now "H" is used as an internal destination... It then used this (since the smilie is not available): on maps, not on the train signs. Currently today, it uses on both maps and trains. I hope that should help :tup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NX Express Posted February 1, 2011 Share #6 Posted February 1, 2011 I've always though of it as "Charcoal grey". It's officially slate grey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffmorris Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share #11 Posted February 3, 2011 Late at night, some routes become shuttles but keep their route letters instead of "S". "A" from Euclid Avenue to Lefferts Blvd "M" from Metropolitan Avenue to Myrtle Avenue "R" from 95th Street to 36th Street "5" from Dyre Avenue to East 180th Street I know that "Q" replaced "W" and "M" replaced "V" a few months ago. I was surprised to find out that the new "M" route was similar to the "K/KK" route after 1967. Was the "K/KK" route discontinued in 1976 due to budget cuts or low ridership?

Actually, for the Lefferts shuttle, the trains display an "S" (usually the yellow S, most likely because it's closest from the on the rollsign). Actually, the Lefferts shuttle is programmed into the R44/46 as an "S". Also when the Dyre Shuttle ran R62s the trains also displayed an "S". @IND: Where's the pic of the blue ? That one is the scarcest seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lance25 Posted February 3, 2011 Share #15 Posted February 3, 2011 Was the "K/KK" route discontinued in 1976 due to budget cuts or low ridership? Budget problems. When Chrystie St opened in 1968, the 70(K)70(K) ran from 57 St to Eastern Pkwy (now Broadway Junction) and extended to Jamaica-168 St during the rush hours in the peak direction, running skip-stop with the . In '73, the renamed 70(K) line was truncated to Eastern Pkwy and the ran skip-stop with alternating trains. Finally in '76, the line was eliminated altogether.
