I like your plan, but I do think the X service should turn at 95th St, not 9th Ave. While 9th Ave is much closer to Broad St, a 9th Ave-bound X would have to first merge with the D at 36th, delaying both the southbound D and N, while the northbound X would delay both the northbound N and R entering 36th. This was the same problem the old M train had.Also, by turning at 9th Ave, 4th Ave local customers at stations below 36th St would still only have the R, while the less-busy stations above 36th would be getting the X in addition to the R. 9th Ave itself is not that busy of a station. Even though it's further away, I think the X would get better ridership if it runs to/from 95th St. |
