Posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Thu Sep 18 13:59:21 2014, in response to Re: Rider's Wish List: (F) Brooklyn Express; Metro-North in Co-Op City; More rail service to Queens/, posted by rbseabeach on Thu Sep 18 09:33:52 2014. But would making the F trains that serve the Culver el stations go express between Church Ave and Jay St (while having trains that serve the in-between stations short-turn at Church) really put more people on those trains?The MTA's ridership figures show that the F line stations south of Church have relatively low ridership, compared to nearby stations on the Brighton Line, local and express. Yet (above Kings Highway), the F runs more frequently than either the B or the Q. The F also runs more frequently than the D or the N and those two lines have stations with higher ridership than the Culver el stations, especially on the D. Looking at the station figures kind of opened up my eyes to the situation of the F line compared to the other south Brooklyn routes. Perhaps these politicians should focus their attention on those other routes that have higher ridership, but less-frequent rush hour service. Perhaps they should be grateful the F stations from Kings Highway to Ditmas Ave get 14-15 tph, as opposed to busier D line stations like Bay Pkwy, 18th Ave and 79th St which have to make due with only 10 tph during the rush. |
