I've followed this whole message stream from the start.I think the best balance is simply to have the M-train run between Metropolitan Avenue and Essex/Delancey Streets or due the switch work to Chambers Street on the weekends. Sending the weekend M-train to Essex/Delancey Street or to Chambers Street allows M-train riders the ability to transfer to other lines for midtown or other destinations. Not every route needs to run 365/24/7. The M-train is simply one of those routes, just like the B-train. If the ridership were to approach mid-week ridership levels on a sustained basis, and the financial fortunes of the MTA were to change to the point where the MTA was rolling in cash - then maybe the entire wish-list of ideas could be entertained. If the MTA was a fountain of cash, I'd put that money to better uses in the outer boroughs to spend up commutes with more frequent train and bus service. Sometimes, folks just have to change trains!
