Extend the 7 line along the Whitestone and CIP to Bay Terrace.That's a bad route choice. You want lines to draw customers from two directions. The CIP route can only attract denizens from Little Neck Bay. But all that requires new ROW There are some out of the box solutions that don't. furthermore, new trunk capacity in Manhattan. Most expansions will initially remove the bus from a bus-subway commute. This is worthwhile because buses are more expensive to operate and since the Metrocard don't increase revenue. With time the expansion areas will get increased population with increased subway demand. The existing trunk lines are operating significantly below their capacity. Moreover, they are operating significantly below the peak service levels from half a century ago. |
