Late evening problems continue with R to Bay Ridge (on weekends) |

Posted by BrooklynTrain on Sun Feb 7 00:12:25 2016 Just about every weekend, the wait for a Bay Ridge R train at 59th/4th is 30 to 45 minutes between 10pm and 12midnight. (After midnight, we get a service increase, since shuttle trains run every 20 minutes as opposed to 30 to 45 minutes for the full-route R train.) Happened again tonight: there were FOUR N trains before an R train finally appeared at 11:31pm towards Bay Ridge at 59th/4th. Of course, hundreds of people packed the platform (but many more were leaving to walk home after each N train pulled in, and/or in between the waits for N trains.)Problem is twofold: Less trains on the R in general (compared to Q, N and D - obviously no Q in Manhattan this weekend), and many R trains drop out at Whitehall. Do they need to start running the R shuttle at 9pm towards Bay Ridge? At least then we'll "only" have a 20 minute shuttle wait, compared to the 40 minute wait we have every weekend right now. Or if the J doesn't have trackwork, perhaps run the J to Bay Ridge instead on weekends. |
