Posted by Michael549 on Wed Jun 24 11:12:34 2015, in response to Re: M to West 4th on Weekends/Late Nights, posted by Joe V on Wed Jun 24 06:33:37 2015. From a previous message:"The more the M extended into Manhattan, the better it would do. You forgot about people within a stop of two of Myrtle / Wyckoff who take the L rather than the M to avoid Essex Street or schleps to Chambers Street to get where they are going. The L is overcrowded." No, I did not forget about the L and M transfer station at Myrtle / Wyckoff. As I clearly stated it was a bit difficult to try to determine how many M-train riders would remain on the M-train to/from Manhattan or use the L-train to/from Manhattan. In any case suggesting that "loads" of M-train riders change to the L-train for their trips both to/from Manhattan under-cuts the idea the weekend M-trains need to be further extended because it is carrying "huge loads" of people. The Myrtle Avenue-Wyckoff Station handled about 18,777 riders in 2009, by 2014 handled 27,345 riders for the weekends. Like you I suspect that the majority of those riders use the L-train, and its excellent transfers to other lines. In any case, the presence of the Myrtle Avenue-Wyckoff Station under-cuts the idea that the weekend M-train NEEDS to be extended to West 4th Street. Mike |
