"People might accept fewer trains in return for them being expresses."Just some questions: What transit rider turns down "express service"? The word "express" has the connotation of being "faster". Who really wants to ride "the local" which often has the connotation of being "slow" and "dreadful". Exactly "what folks" along the F-train might accept fewer trains in return for those trains being express? Exactly which is a greater problem? Having frequent service that stops at every station? Or getting less frequent service that skips some stations, where the folks at the heavily used stations have to wait longer for their trains, even if the trains are less full? Exactly just how time is saved by the "F-express" in Brooklyn, considering that the journey to Manhattan involves local tracks between the Sixth Avenue stations and Jay Street? Have there really been "huge" traffic and train delay problems lately on the Brooklyn segment of the F-train? Or is that just rhetoric? Is this one of those "easy political band-wagon issues" that the local political folk can pile upon to "get something done", even if later on they will complain that the "wrong thing was done"? Just some thoughts. Mike |
