I grew up in an Outerborough, although my parents were raised in Manhattan and I visited often. We always used the numbers or sometimes the old name of the train company, like the IRT. In the musical Hair, one song goes:

LBJ took the IRT/And found the youth of America/ on LSD.

LBJ didn't take the Red Line because that doesn't exist in New York City.
