Posted by Wallyhorse on Sat Feb 13 06:04:19 2016, in response to Re: Tuscarora Almanac for February 12, posted by MainR3664 on Fri Feb 12 14:12:33 2016. I brought this up a lot myself before and this was previously discussed to death:As the (4) & (5) both go to Brooklyn pretty much at all times they run (except late evenings and weekends on the (5)), you would need to have the shuttle operate outside of times you can squeeze in the (6) to old SF. With that in mind, if you were to do that, this is how I would do it: Shuttle runs between BG and SF on weekdays starting at 6:00 AM and continuing until 9:00 PM. During PM Rush Hour ONLY, I would if possible have platform conductors in place on the short platform at BG to where they can open select doors to allow people to directly transfer to the shuttle from the first 1-2 cars of Brooklyn-bound trains there. From 9:00 PM-6:00 AM weeknights and 9:00 PM Friday-6:00 AM Monday, the (6) is extended to South Ferry, which has the side benefit of additional service at Fulton, Wall and Bowling Green during those hours for those who live down there (and we all know how many more people live in lower Manhattan today as opposed to 1977). The (5) also runs to South Ferry when it's not running to Bowling Green late evenings and weekends. Obviously, this means work would have to be done to reconnect the short platform at BG to the rest of the station. |
