I do have selfish reasons for wanting the F on 53rd. I live near bus lines that serve both Jamaica Center and 179 Street, so I essentially have a choice of the E or F train. Back in the day, I preferred the F train over the E train since the F used R46's instead of R32's and I didn't have to pass through bum and hoodlum-infested Jamaica Center. When the F was rerouted to 63rd, I lost that option. Many of the places I like to hang out in the city are located on the East Side of Manhattan. I was forced to take the E train that I utterly despised. Over the years, R32's were removed from the E so that assuaged me. I still hate the fact that when I'm at 71st/Continental and I need to get to Lexington/53rd, I have to pass up F trains. And please, save me the "the local is almost as fast as the express" nonsense. The most annoying feeling in the world is being on a train that makes every stop when you see an express track. |
