Most of the confusion was trying to maintain some of the rush hour services that existed pre-Christie.The JJ. RJ and QJ were all essentially the same as the J when they ran north of Broad Street. The QJ was an attempt to through-route the Brighton Locals that used to go up Broadway and also replace the Brighton-Nassau rush-hour service. The rush-hour RJ was a way of maintaining the pre-Christie 4th Avenue-Nassau specials. As for the QB, the planners of Christie street covered services on 6th Avenue and Nassau Street for Brighton riders but there was outrage over the total lack of popular Broadway Subway service. Voila! The QB, which added a sprinkling of Broadway service. The NX was supposed to do the same with lousy success. What they have now, a Q that is the Broadway express and the B that is the 6th Avenue express, makes much more sense in where riders want to go. Routes that look good on paper don't always work out. |
