Posted by New Flyer #857 on Mon Sep 22 09:31:42 2014, in response to Re: Culver Express, posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Sun Sep 21 19:27:00 2014. Ok let's work it out:Skip-stop "A:" skips Ditmas, Ave I, Ave N, and Kings Hwy, terminating at Ave X. Skip-stop "B:" skips 18th, Bay Pkwy, Ave P, and Ave U, and going on to Coney Island. Being generous with a 45 seconds saved per station skipped, and again that's being generous, you have saved 3 minutes. The stations being skipped will have wait times increased by an average of 2 minutes. Let's take the furthest stop -- Ave U. At Ave U in the morning I will wait an extra 2 minutes, but my train will only skip 3 stops once I get on it, saving me (being generous) 2 minutes 15 seconds. And all the stations further north will save less time. I don't know -- it just doesn't seem worth setting up the operation. Also, unlike the J/Z, which has service a bit more spread out, these F trains will almost inevitably be running into each other, especially in the PM rush coming back from the city after those long runs throw everything off. (As it is, we have F trains running into each other and unscheduled expresses to sort things out). |
