Radioguy Posted September 25, 2008 Share #10 Posted September 25, 2008 Actually, the exact opposite is more appropriate. The Times Square shuttle is the only true shuttle, since it only shuttles people from one stop to the next.

Aha. Well, it's still just one stop, I suppose. The Franklyn shuttle makes a few stops, and formerly more. It might still warrant a letter status other than shuttle. The should return either way.
