Posted by New Flyer #857 on Tue Dec 29 13:06:12 2015, in response to Re: W to Astoria/N and Q to 96th Street?, posted by Broadway Lion on Tue Dec 29 12:44:22 2015. at least equal service on the Second. Ergo the (Q) and the (N) will have to go there.Still not even close to equal service. I can foresee a situation where people living on Second Avenue my still take the Lexington over the Second if the frequency is not there. I can too, but I think you'll get enough people from York / 1st Aves who don't feel like walking all the way up to Lexington while 2nd is doable to justify the line. And even crosstown bus riders would probably happily get off at 2nd rather than Lexington if they can. Having direct Broadway access, and a cross-platform transfer for 6th Ave access (neither of which Lexington gives) is also attractive and will bring in its own clientele I think. This will be the first time one seat gets you from the UES to short distances from Columbus Circle, Times Square, Penn Station, the heart of 34th St, and more. But I would say even if SAS frequencies somehow exceeded Lexington, you still would only attract so many people, because few people north residing/working north of 96th are going to use SAS anyway. |
