I actually see arguments for both sides.Pro The 7, like other lines, runs three trains per hour overnight. The 4 and 6 combined have six trains per hour during that time. Even until 3 AM, Flushing-bound trains are standing room only leaving Manhattan. Extra trains would be needed to handle the crowds. Some people consider transferring to the S easier than transferring to the 7 due to the 7's relatively deep location at both stations. Con The route from Grand Central to Times Square via the 7 is 100% ADA accessible. The S is a redundant service. Running it overnight requires additional crews to operate the trains. |
