I think you messed up on the subway transfer templates on that article. If you look closely, it shows there is a full-time transfer icon to the Q at Prince, 8th, 23rd and 28th Streets when the Q only serves those station during late nights. Can you fix it?

I was wondering what was your rationale for having the A and C lines combined into one route map. My take on it is that even though they essentially operate along the same route during the day, with one being express and one being local, they are both different services and should be treated as such. It isn't like the J/Z in which the latter is just a skip-stop clone. Just my two cents on the matter. — LRG5784 ( talk · contribs · email) 22:38, 13 July 2017 (UTC)
