Just naming lines after numbers or letters would be easier for all

but you usually only get that if an entire system is planned from the

It's also extremely boring, which is why I'd oppose it.
Less confusing though.
I *completely* disagree. Names are much easier to memorise and form
associations with than apparently random letter/number combinations.
Perhaps it depends on the person. I never had a problem getting around
new york for example.
If you'll forgive the reductio ad absurdum (which I know you won't,) by
your theory we should drop station names and just give them reference
numbers...
I hate to tell you - but this is exactly what they did on the Kiev Metro
when the world cup - or some inflated pigs bladder event - was there in 2012.
Ok, they didn't drop the names but they did given them all numbers.
