An internet meme has met the MTA, albeit briefly. When new changes to the transit system led to new signs marking some stations, the agency was forced to put the letters F, M, and L together at 14th Street and 6th Avenue. Surely, this wasn't the first time the letters FML met the letters MTA—though until now they've likely only come together in straphanger's heads or transmitted through Twitter feeds—but the agency doesn't seem to want it so, you know, in your face. And with that, NYCT's Charles Seaton told CityRoom, “As soon as we became aware of it, we were going to change it. We thought there was a certain population out there who might recognize it, even though we didn’t, obviously.”
He also noted that the cost would be minimal, and that they'll just move the L stickers below the F and M. But, but... how will that fit?
