Posted by Michael549 on Mon Jan 4 01:20:36 2016, in response to Re: Service Patterns, posted by BusRider on Sun Jan 3 23:46:14 2016. From a previous message:"What determines the local versus express, does demographics surrounding the end terminals a significant factor? Also, I don't see why both segments required both services." Both the Sixth Avenue and the Eighth Avenue Manhattan trunks were to handle a route or service from each of the branches, where the branches are Washington Heights, Concourse & Queens Blvd. The Brooklyn branches usually did not get the same variations of service. For example, the Eighth Avenue line would have the A & AA (from Washington Heights express & local), the C & CC (Concourse express and local), and the E (the Queens Blvd express-Manhattan local). While the Sixth Avenue trunk would have the BB (Washington Heights local - often referred to as the B), the D (Concourse express), and F (Queens Blvd. express). The other thing that should be noted was the rush hour was a big deal, and had the most ridership! Mike |
