I don't look at the colors on the trains themselves. I already know what color each letter is (and the colors are on all the signage in the stations anyway). Maybe I have been unclear? I don't rely solely on colors. They are just the first thing that pops into my mind and then I think about the individual lines if I need to (for example, if I need to end up at a local stop). When looking at the subway map, it's quicker for me to figure out directions by looking at the colors. This is not that complicated.

You should be able to deduce that they're talking about the Lexington Ave line

Which has three branches in the Bronx, and two branches in Brooklyn.

Even if you just speak about Manhattan, the 8th, 7th, 6th, Broadway all branch in Manhattan. Not to mention the North/South lines in Manhattan have local or express service.

The 7th Avenue line not only branches uptown, it branches downtown. Ditto for 6th Avenue line.

Another disgusting forum from the usual alt-right city-data neoliberal bandits fantasizing about knocking down poor people's homes in the name of sacred gentrification. Hilarious because these are the same type people that then cry and throw tantrums when the people who've been uprooted riot and revolt burning down the newly established gentrified areas (*Ahem* Baltimore).

Don't you mean neocon?

I'm pretty sure OP is trolling though, anyone who is familiar enough with NYC to understand the Bronx to that extent would know that nobody here calls the subway the "metro".

The alt-right could pretty much be defined by their hate for the neocons (Jewish ex-Trotskyites who believe in a world democratizing mission for America) and the neoliberals (economic globalists who believe in open borders, world trade agreements and free flows of labor and capital).

When do we get to see "Luxury Condos starting at 600k on the revitalized Harlem Riverfront?" In the mean time...

But do it in 3-6 phases so they'd have time to relocate. Knock down building one by one (6 phases) or 2 by 2 (3 phases). Honestly, Bronx needs a Downtown Business District. It's quite ashame that it doesn't.

Maybe, class A office buildings lining the Bronx's waterfront? Or course they'd build luxury apartments and condo's on that waterfront as well. Would have great Manhattan views.

But yeah, "Downtown Bronx" needs to happen!
"Downtown Bronx?" They should put it back where it was and where it belongs. E Tremont and Third .
Next to that best place would be Fordham Rd /Third Ave,Webster Ave.

Biggest architectural crime ever committed in NYC was the demolition of the real Bronx Borough Hall.
and there still isn't a replacement. We don't really have a borough hall. Oddly, many of the official offices for city services are still in that neighborhood around Tremont/Arthur/Third. Had to go there to go to the building department a few weeks ago.

When you google Bronx Borough Hall this is what you get: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronx_Borough_Hall

https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&rct=...98264309026696

Fordham Road makes more sense though because it really is the middle of the Bronx with best access by transportation from everywhere. Plus it's just busier.

Anyway, there are discussions going on about building a completely new "real" Borough Hall. ..again since there isn't one now.....and it very well might not be where you think it should go. This is The Bronx after all.

Maybe you don't associate (or try to) with many transplants from other metropolitan cities? Pretty sure you didn't speak to EVERY transplant or New Yorker in NY. Lol, seems like you are is angry. I'm guessing you don't like how "Piano District" is coming along..
Give me a break
