That would be correct since for anyone form the financial district wanting the casino or the convention center, the A or even an extended local C would be faster than any service going through midtown by somewhere in the area of 20 min. For midtown passengers, there would be a point at which there is either minimal or no difference at all and If you see my post on this topic, I based the difference from lower Manhattan based on an interpolation of existing subway running times combined with LIRR running times to Howard Bch from the early 1950s just prior to the NYCTA takeover. The unfortunate problem with accessing the Rockaways via Qns Blvd is that both the Roosevelt Av spur and the 63 Dr spur are accessible only from the Qns Blvd local tracks whereas both Fulton St locals and expresses can access the Rockaways. |
