[edit] Naming

This is a strange case - signs at ground level say "5 Avenue-Bryant Park" or "42 St-Bryant Park", but obviously refer to all the services.[1] Does it differ based on which platforms the entrance leads directly to? How separate are the stations - is it a single long passageway? --NE2 19:58, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

The entrances leading to the IRT Flushing Line mezzanine read "5 Avenue", since that station is "Fifth Avenue–Bryant Park". The entrances leading to the IND Sixth Avenue Line mezzanine read "42 Street" because that station is "42nd Street–Bryant Park". The stations are fairly separated. How much so? There is a single long passageway between the two. The Sixth Avenue station is under Sixth Avenue. The Flushing Line station's western end is nearly halfway to Fifth Avenue.

Since Imdanumber1 needs an "exact comment that the articles should be split", here it is: this should be split. The title is a neologism and the stations are separate. --NE2 20:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
