The solution there would be (once enough new subway cars can be found to accommodate such) for the (C) to divert from the 8th Avenue line at West 4th and run with the (G) to Church Avenue while the (F) runs to Coney Island. The side benefit is it would give Culver Line riders a one-seat ride on 8th Avenue they don't have and also give them a one-seat ride to the upper west side they also currently don't have while riders at express stations have the choice of the 6th or 8th Avenue line.This would have the (C) going with the (F) to West 4th, so Culver riders looking for 6th Avenue could make a SAME PLATFORM transfer for the B/D/F/M at Broadway-Lafayette as well. The (E) can be extended to Euclid at all times to replace the (C) in Brooklyn while a new (K) train can be a 2-4 tph (depending on time of day) supplement to the (C) running Chambers-168th. This is still how I would handle this down the road once enough subway cars became available for it (and obviously, funding became available). |
