This is a rather old article, and covers what could be an interesting concept, but the article has never been sourced, and a search through Google Scholar does not show any academic study using the "all-four" terminology. All references to the term that I found using Google are to Wikipedia or its mirrors. The article has been tagged as being unreferenced and as possible original research for ten years and the issue hasn't been resolved. Sjakkalle (Check!) 18:00, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

- Delete I suspect this is WP:MADEUP. A quick search of several NYC Subway history sites fails to find any mention of this term. Yes, the BMT had all 4 of the transport modes listed, and did try to treat them as complimentary rather than competitive, but the rest, including the name, is original research at best. – Train2104 ( t • c) 13:26, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. Never heard of this before, if there is proof that can corroborate this information as true it'd be best to integrate it into the existing BMT article. — Imdanumber1 ( talk · contribs · email) 13:50, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

- Weak Merge to Brooklyn–Manhattan Transit Corporation, per User:Train2104, User:Imdanumber1 and oknazevad. If this is a genuine term used within the mass transit industry, I'm not familiar with it. Or if I've heard it before, I forgot about it. --------- User:DanTD ( talk) 17:41, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
- Delete. This may have been created in good faith, but it is never really used in any type of terminology, even jargon. Google search reveals nothing verifying this topic's notability, per above. epicgenius ( talk) 01:55, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
