I'm not sure about that.When I step into the subway station at 53rd Street-Lexington Avenue, 42nd Street-Grand Central, 60th Street-Lexington Avenue or 63rd Street-Lexington Avenue or the Roosevelt Island station (which is a part of Manhattan) - the next stop or two IS IN QUEENS! When I step into the Essex Street station or Broadway-Nassau-Fulton Street station the next stop IS IN BROOKLYN! When I step onto the Staten Island Ferry in St. George, Staten Island - the next stop is Whitehall Street, IN Manhattan. I have to take the subway to Brooklyn! I'd never say that currently the Staten Island Ferry takes me to Brooklyn, it is a river crossing to/from Manhattan. By any of those means would could easily say that longer trips can take one to various places. In this case, a person from Astoria, Queens would not really WANT to travel all of the way down the G-train line to downtown Brooklyn to catch the A or C trains using the Cranberry Tunnel and a trip uptown when all they want to do is go to the Museum of Modern Art in Midtown - just because the 60th Street Tunnel is out of service! Most folks really do not like out and around about methods of getting to various places - they prefer quick direct travel as much as possible. Maybe it is just my way of looking at things. Mike |
