From a previous message:"We can kill the D and make the West End line a Shuttle TT, tell everyone to transfer to the N, then the West End Line would do no better than the Myrtle." There is a very good reason for the Chrystie Street project allowing former southern BMT lines access to Sixth Avenue stations and service. The idea of having the D-train travel from the Bronx to Coney Island remains a cherished idea. For a good period of time, the West-End line on the weekends was a shuttle operation with I believe the TT. However in recent years, the ridership has increased and the local residents demanded full-time service to Manhattan, in a way that connects communities. Very good cases can be made for certain arrangements of service over other patterns. Some of the transit facilities are very flexible while others are not as flexible in their offerings. Astoria has to be serviced from the 60th Street tunnel, Rockaway trains have to use the A-line in Brooklyn, etc. There can indeed be very good reasons for the creation of certain subway train routes. It's a baby and bath water scenario. Mike |
