Will Queens Plaza and Queensboro Plaza Ever Be Combined? |
|

Posted by nh153 on Tue Dec 2 16:42:07 2014 I was reading the thread below regarding the number of stations in the NYC Subway, and how over the years many stations have been combined, allowing free transfers.It got me thinking how Queensboro Plaza (7, N, Q) and Queens Plaza (E, M, R), one on top of the other, have never been linked. Only a few blocks away, Court Square/23rd-Ely (E, G, M) and Court House Square (7) were linked a couple of years ago by constructing escalators between the two platforms. And reconstruction of the Broadway-Lafayette (B, F, D) and Bleeker St. (6) stations now allows for free transfers in all directions. I wonder if linking Queens Plaza and Queensboro Plaza has been proposed and rejected, not even a free Metro Card transfer? How about a free Metro Card transfer between Broadway (G) and Lorimer St. (J, M, Z)? Or Livonia Ave. (L) and Junius St. (3)? I believe the only Metro Card free subway transfer these days is Lexington Av. (F) and Lex/59th St. (4, 5, 6, N, R). Why is that transfer, which requires walking three blocks, the only one in the system now? |
