Like I was saying in one of the "Bring back the W" threads, the shorter length of the M is detrimental to it's capacity on a Manhattan trunk.This is a problem which can't be answered in the short term for this project. Using the Centre/Nassau line spreads the load out to the other lines and doesn't put 6th Ave over crush load. If a few extras ran to Broad Street, it spreads the load to the other trunks. It provides better connections to other parts of the city other than Midtown. Many of these plans seem to assume people who live along the L only want to go to Midtown. My family all lives in Ridgewood and my mother works in Downtown Brooklyn. She rides the L backwards to B'way Junction and gets the A. I only take the L a few stops, only within Brooklyn. |
