Posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Fri Mar 9 11:54:57 2012, in response to Re: Straphangers to MTA: There's only two way this can possibly work..., posted by E and F and sometimes J on Thu Mar 8 17:54:33 2012. Option 2 will defintely be a non-starter. The current M service is way more popular than the old M service was. Returning the M to Nassau St would be a very unpopular move.Better to go with Option 1. I suggest splitting the F into an F/V service where the F runs local to Church and the V running express between Jay and Church, then local to Coney. Combined F/V service would be 18tph (this can be done if the E runs 12tph for its entire route; E service to/from Parsons/Archer is currently limited to 12tph due to poorly located switches at Parsons). The three E's currently running to/from 179th would be given to the F/V. The F/V would run via the 53rd St Tunnel while the M would move to the 63rd St Tunnel. That would make up for the loss of extra three E's. I'd make the F/V split an uneven one with with the F running 11 or 12tph and the V running 7 or 8tph. F riders between Church and Jay would face only slightly longer waits for an F train (and the G would still be there at the local stations). And riders sojth of Church would now have a faster service. There would also be far fewer delays into/out of Stillwell and no need to short-turn at Kings Hwy or Ave X with 7-8tph south of Church instead of the current 15. |
