The Queens line was the only example of the IND going into new territory. As I stated in a previous post, Mayor Hylan had no real interest in developing new neighborhoods. They would have taken a long time to become profitable. He had to have an immediate return on investment in order to preserve the five cent fare, which was one of his two objectives. The other one, of course, was to hurt the IRT and BMT big time, and that is why most of the IND generally parallels those lines. |
