1/3rd sure feels like a monopoly...

Keep fighting the good fight. People are like "whatever it's the color of the line" but actually 1. calling it that is imprecise and only really works in Manhattan and 2. It's not weird to expect people to call things by the way they've been referred to for a while. Wanna call something the IRT line? go for it. But "Green Line" shows that you're not adapting to NY terminology.

Absolutely no one from NYC calls the trains by their color. They don't do that cause it doesn't work the moment trains split.

This is the same stupid shit for people dropping the "the" from neighborhood names. It sounds pedantic but it shows a lack of interest in the city and its history.

Edit: i'm not saying call it the IRT line. Just that some people do because that's what it was called in the past. But no one from the city calls it by its color. Come on people. Straight up you'd be made fun of if you did that as a kid lol. Cities have identity and this is part of it. Just like saying "standing on line" instead of "in line"

Edit 2: when you move to a city, you adapt to it. I swear this sub is full of the same people who went to CT during the height of the pandemic.
