From a previous message:"But the J/Z is still an alternate route to Jamaica, and the M is still the main route to Middle Village. Their first stop after crossing the river may be Brooklyn, but they provide viable services to Queens as well." I agree that these lines service Brooklyn and north-eastern Queens, and offer utility to their riders. I am puzzled as to just how these particular lines would help solve the problems of Astoria N & Q train riders in the north-western part of Queens getting to and from Manhattan under the proposed tunnel closing scenario! That is the particular problem that is being looked at, and the particular problem that I'm commenting upon. When the Rockaway lines were out of service for many months due to Hurricane Sandy, the fact that E and F trains were still serviced Queens Blvd and north-western Queens - while useful information - did not actually help solve Rockaway rider problems. Even though the #4, #5 and #6 trains were running in the Bronx - I'd be hard pressed to say how they were contributing to a solution for Rockaway riders. Mike |
