Yeah, its true that the M merges with it... ok, ok, but its pretty minor in comparision to other train lines. I saw the job opening for Line managers... I was wondering exactly what they were going to do that would be different from line super-intendants. And how much autonomy would they have anyway? There train schedule would need to balance the other train schedules of lines that cross. Maybe instead of a line magager, have a general line manager. This person will cover all lines that truely effect each other. The JMZ would be one general, DNQRWB would be another and they would have to work together when it comes to the M. The ACE has one guy and the 2345 has another while the 1 and 6 gets their own. EFV lines is another general... and the decision maker, the Line(S) Super Intendent. As far as advertising... the MTA has plenty of operunity to use ads, but for some reason, it just falls apart. 59 columbus circle can be an underground masterpiece using the m iddle platform as promotion, waiting area and art. I bet you when they are done its just going to be a walled off station. Another line that sits mostly by itself is the J line.
