Posted by Joe V on Thu Dec 18 13:42:50 2014, in response to Re: QueensWay gets $444,000 grant form NY State to design the first phase, posted by Stephen Bauman on Thu Dec 18 13:07:14 2014. I am talking about the M train, which is 1/3rd to 1/2 half the WBB service. Those trains are crowded. We all know the J/Z trains are a far cry from what the 14/15 was in the 1960's. The M will neither increase in frequency nor increase in train length as years to come due to capacity issues on the IND and platform issues on the BMT.The WBB alleged load factor of 0.72 makes it sound like 6 car trains for all the J/M/Z would be acceptable in the rush. They are not. I don't get taken in by overall averages, but specific circumstances. Telling people headed to midtown from the Woodhaven/Ricmomnd Hill area to take the J train schlep to get to the M and the WBB is why the Q10, Q11, Q37, Q53 routes are so congested. It is also why lots of young people are moving to Bushwick and Ridgewood, and not Richmond Hill. |
