As was said for so long, this was a service that was needed for years. Most people had no idea that it was even possible to run trains uptown after Essex. It's very ironic that finally after all the years, this service finally came back, and in the form of a "cut". But it was perhaps the best change to the subway system in perhaps 50 years.There was complete silence along the line when all the public hearings came up to discuss the proposed "cuts". The only reaction was "and this is bad for us how?"....and they wanted the service to keep the M letter instead of V. THAT IS ALL. Now that the neighborhoods got a taste for this wonderful service, it would be next to impossible for the MTA to ever try and take it away. The same quiet neighborhoods that were dead silent when this change went into effect will be like Tigers let out of a cage. Ridership exploded at those stations the first full year after the change. |
