Historical?

I think historically this was called "Board Train" and quite a few pages on the wiki refer to it as such, unless that is something else?RogerWilco 22:00, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

This phrase is more commonly used red-side where there are no trains... so such a term wouldn't be useful. However, now it is used as a general term for any such mission location as it can be used generically for both sides. —Thirty7 Talk-Icon.jpg 06:39, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
I only play redside and I've only ever seen Board Transit. Do you mean that on blueside Board Train is used where it's Board Transit on redside? As I said, I had understood that it was Board Train before City of Villains, but has been Board Transit since then. As I have only played for a few months, I'm not sure about this history, I just know that I also find Board Train here on the wiki, for example on the Ouroboros page.

They are essentially the same thing, but in the past discussed different modes of transport. If you were on red-side Transit meant Ferry or Ouro, on blue it was Train or Ouro. However, as I said the term "Board Train" was used on Blue. I went ahead and listed a See Also on both pages referencing the other and should aid in any confusion the terminology might have. Personally, I have always thought of them as two sides of the same coin, but I guess never contemplated it as a source of confusion for newer players. In terms of merging pages or re-directs, I think they are fine as is as seperate things that link to each other now. Other Admins are free to disagree. —Thirty7 Talk-Icon.jpg 05:48, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
