That's not really the point. MTA could've run the V through 63rd and rerouted the F when it wasn't running. OR, they could've made the V the full-time 6th ave/QB route and ran it through 63rd. However, running the F through 63 offers distinct advantages. For one, there are some people at local stations between Roosevelt and Forest Hills that will now take the M. Also, anyone bound for 53rd can now take a less crowded train. Basically, putting the F on 63rd and the M/V on 53rd split the two most popular routes up: 6th ave QB express and 53rd. |
