NYC Subway stations with same names
I'm not sure if I should make a new thread for this or not, but I've noticed that the NYC Subway has several stations with the same name for example:
Their are three 86 Street stations (on both sides of Central Park), about five Canal Street stations, two 34 Street-Penn Stations, but a very good example are two Park Places, one at the south end of Manhattan Island, and another Park Place on the Franklin Ave - Prospect Park Shuttle.
Are their any extra wordings on the official station names with the same names to distinguish them from other stations with the same name, or has NYC truly got multiple different stations with the exact same name? (If so it must be confusing to passengers/ticket sellers)
Jeff, on the Franklin Ave - Prospect Park Shuttle, you have Fulton Street as the terminus, yet two subway maps both use the name Franklin Ave.
