The signs on the NTTs can't fit the (11) sign on them, unless the get new ones that can or retrofit the current ones. I doubt the is going to change the , or thy would be changing the too.

I don't believe you'll see any NTT cars in the next 5 years on the(7) according to the line super. The new barn was spec'd for 62As. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted July 10, 2008 Share #35 Posted July 10, 2008 Actually, renaming the the (11) wouldn't solve anything because the crews don't have enough time to change the signs at the temrinal, the same problem as what exists now. There owuld be more confusion over (7)/11 than there is over (7)/<7> because people never trust the signs anyway. They know to listen to the conductor to ifnd out if the train is express or loco.

Jamaica Express Posted July 11, 2008 Share #36 Posted July 11, 2008 thats true....to an extent...during the weekdays you see alot of trains running half the train will be signed up for the and the other half will say , what really matters is what the front of the train says....the side signs are wrong alot, I remember during the 9/11 service re-routes when the was extended to Brooklyn, a train of R-46's pulled in to W4St, the only thing that said was the front and the back....the entire trains LCD screens displayed 8 Ave local Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kexpress Posted August 21, 2008 Share #37 Posted August 21, 2008 I think the (8),(10),(11),(12),(13),(14),and (15) are a bad idea to redesignation these routes because it would just have too many lines and it would not fit all together in the termianls and lines and would not have space on the line. I think the should have never added 10 through 15 rollsign on the R62/R62A. I hope does not add more and more numbers on the rollsign on the R62/R62A and never plan to add more and more numbers then there will be no space on the line and it would not fit alltogther and it be a disaster. The (8) is unused but for now the (8) is planned to redesignation express service but instead of redesignation the express service then The MTA could change the plan and have (8) as a new route to skip stop with and then it be a great idea.

Those were added "just in case"... there was never a plan to redesignate the lines... besides, there is no room on the R142s (and R412As, for that matter) to display double digit bullets, so say goodbye to all of them except the (8) and the , which I would have like to have seen on an R142 before it was retired...

You are right since the R142s don't have room for two numbers I guess the cannot redesignate and renumber the routes. The only could save the (8) and only because it not double numbers. I know back in May 1986 the Double letters became single letters. Well I guess the cannot redesignate the numbers. The could save (8) and only because there are single numbers and there unused and leftovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some routes that don't use R142/As whatsoever, i.e. the , the , the .... But anyways, about confusion, with transit, only stupid, ignorant people get confused, those who read, maps especially, will do just fine. But, since R142/As can display nothing more than a single digit, then there would be no point. The MTA wouldn't renumber or redesignate routes anyway because of their ignorance at times, but hey, who could dislike this announcement, "This is a Pelham Bay Park bound train, making express stops in the Bronx."
