Posted by Michael549 on Fri Oct 31 12:07:41 2014, in response to Re: (R) train service still sucks, posted by BrooklynTrain on Thu Oct 30 23:46:52 2014. Please do not take my questions as DOUBT about the situation with the R-train, that is not where I'm coming from at all.One a curious thing happened recently on the MTA website - they stopped giving reasons why there are shut-downs or diversions except to say, that the trains are not stopping somewhere, or being re-routed. For the weekend of Nov 1-2, on the Weekender there's nothing about track work or other issues for the R-train in Brooklyn, what is listed is the re-routing of R-trains as express along Queens Blvd. As well as the N & D trains paired together skipping some of their stations in certain directions. In light of these R-train troubles and the track work, I'd split the R-train into two groups, one set of R-trains would travel to/from Queens Blvd and the Whitehall Street station. Since both the D & N trains are running, it seems without delays due to the track work - rely upon them to carry the bulk of the R-train ridership to/from Manhattan. Make the Brooklyn R-train a shuttle from 36th Street to 95th Street. For the stations between Court Street and 36th Street, simply run the on-street shuttle buses. Make notices for all stations, and announcements via the website, etc. However, I'm not in charge of the MTA. It does seem that the MTA took out the words, "Timely" and "Rapid" out of their motto.
