B35 via Church Posted May 13, 2014 Share #4 Posted May 13, 2014 Props on the thread title alone! I have to stop sleeping on the picture sections on this forum..... This may sound petty, but the one thing I do like about the "pumpkin" NICE buses (not those old raggedy ass LIB's) is the "font" they use on the front/main destination sign..... Although it looks awkward at times, The 'n' is another thing I'll give them props on - Every other transit system I know of uses capital letter prefixes, or just the route # with no prefix at all..... As for #1549 there... Why the front look so clean, but the back look dirty as s#&t..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted May 13, 2014 Share #5 Posted May 13, 2014 I think they use a lowercase n to minimize the prefix because it's the number that is most important in the NICE system. -The NICE "paint" scheme is different enough to recognize the buses in Queens. -In Nassau the letter isn't important. -Prefix use in other bus systems are for a different reason (than county's first initial, most likely) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B35 via Church Posted May 14, 2014 Share #6 Posted May 14, 2014 The letter prefix was important enough for them to make it lowercase, as opposed to leave it uppercase, or drop it altogether.... They're using the lowercase N to be different/to stand out.... It works for them, so good for them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
