I wouldn't. The N ran much better in the 2004-2010 period when it ran express in Brooklyn and Manhattan than it currently does. And the current N service pattern is better than the full-time, all-local service pattern it had in the 90s. And if most passengers on both the N and Q are headed to Midtown, why would you inconvenience Midtown-bound N riders who might not want to deal with a serpentine route with six extra stops through downtown Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan? It's not like those six stops between Canal and DeKalb need the N there full-time; the R alone seems to be working just fine. And why would you want to overcrowd (and delay) the Q train with additional Midtown-bound riders jumping off the N at DeKalb? |
