From a previous message:"But you carefully avoid expressing an opinion on extending the M to Queens Plaza." Fine. Okay. I do not see a reason on the weekends for extending the weekend M-train to Queens Plaza. I simply do not believe that the weekend ridership numbers support such an operation. I realize that there are some folks that want to create as much as possible a blanket set of routes that operate the majority of the time/day/weekday/weekend. However the ridership numbers do not always support such hopes - that means in some situations folks have to transfer from one route to another to continue their journey. For example, on the weekends the #5 does not run to/from Brooklyn, or the B-train does not run on the weekends, or the M-train is not its usual full-length route. Outside of rush hours and on weekends also, riders to/from Rockaway Park have to change at Broad Channel. On the weekends, the #6, #7 and the D-train do not have peak-direction express runs. Generally on the weekends and very late nights the ridership situation is different, and the transit offerings reflect that. One-seat rides everywhere is not the goal, nor should it be. Mike |
