The Smith St line by itself doesn't really parallel any competing private subway lines although it was intended to eventually recapture the Culver Line which it did so it sort of went into "new" territory. The Smith St Line did parallel the Smith St trolley line although I don't think that's exactly what Hylan had in mind as far as competing with the privates. Also, keep in mind that by the time the IND was extended into the outer boroughs, Hylan was out of office and the BMT was offered the opportunity to operate the new subway. Many of the IND lines were intended to have been connected to the BMT anyhow if Hylan hadn't interfered. |
