Gary Younge tries to explain New York subway lines to Guardian readers: "...the F-train, which has a passive-agressive quality, is the one people love to hate; the N and the R, local trains which go through SoHo, are more quaint; and the L, where every carriage seems to have at least one person holding a guitar, should be renamed the S-express, it is so groovy. As the only line that does not go through Manhattan, most New Yorkers don't even know the G-line exists. We like to think of ourselves as a mixture of bohemian, black, Polish and poor (although not necessarily all at the same time). But recently there has been something else to bind us together - our hatred of the V-line."
