Posted by Dyre Dan on Tue Feb 21 05:11:03 2012, in response to Re: Fasttrack on the 6th Ave B/D/F/M - - OFFICIAL PLANS, posted by Train2104 on Sun Feb 19 21:58:21 2012. Is such a shuttle planned? I didn't see any mention of it, but maybe I read too fast and missed it. It does seem like it is needed, since otherwise 21 St.-Queensbridge is cut off from any other Queens stations. But on the other hand, it never connects with local stations west of Roosevelt anyway. Maybe so few people use the station to head east into Queens that the MTA didn't feel the shuttle bus was justified.A plan that would avoid turning Queensbridge station into a dead end terminal would be to through-route the Bronx D with the Brooklyn F, and run the F from Queens to 57 St.-7 Av., where passengers could connect with the N or R. (The Q would terminate at Times Square.) Another advantage is that there would be a direct transfer between the two "D" services at Jay St.-Metrotech, rather than the "A" or "F" being needed to connect them as in the current plan. On the other hand, the two parts of what is normally the "F" line would connect only via the much slower "R" (or "N" via tunnel). And having two different lines in Brooklyn running trains labeled "D" would be confusing. |
