Without specific origin and destination information on each of the riders on the subways - that is a difficult question to answer completely, or with good solid numbers.However, at best it is easy to say that there are range of "different riders" of the R-train. Admittedly some R-train riders from south of 59th Street headed to Manhattan immediately bale on the R-train for the N-train express to Manhattan that makes local stops. At the 86th Street station, the R-train also gets a healthy dose of riders from Staten Island buses headed to Manhattan or downtown Brooklyn. Some R-train riders from south of 59th Street are headed to downtown stations - where staying on the R-train may be or is the better option. The R-train of course will gain riders at the local stations from 59th Street to 36th Street to Atlantic Avenue, and from transfers from the F and G trains. Some of these R-train riders due to their destinations will switch to the N or D trains, while some will remain on the R-train. In addition some riders from the N or D trains may indeed switch to the R-train for downtown destinations, as well as riders from the B and Q trains at the DeKalb Avenue station. And yes, some R-train riders transfer to/from the #4 and #5 trains, to/from the A, C and F trains. I do know that the R-train usually has good amount of folks on it when it reaches the Whitehall Street station for the trip uptown. The R-trains gets a range of riders on its journey. Mike |
