Posted by Michael549 on Mon Feb 15 15:01:56 2016, in response to Re: One proposed alternative service for L riders, posted by AlM on Mon Feb 15 13:19:10 2016. From a previous message:"So of course you can add bus service. But it will have a minimal effect on the whole situation and it won't be very popular anyway because it will take a lot longer than being bused in 10 minutes to Marcy Ave and taking a frequently running M from there." When ever I have brought up the suggestion of such a limited bus between the Bedford Avenue station and Manhattan, it was in the context of several other options also occurring. I do not promote such a bus idea as the "supreme solution" to the L-train tunnel closure, but one among several options for the riders. The complaint that "anything" that could be done "will have a minimal effect on the whole situation" almost at its extreme supports the idea that "nothing should be done". That is something that I know you're not saying. Having several options in place (in the event of a closure) even if each option is "minimal" by some standard that can actually help the immediate riders of the L-train - is best. Not having to fix the tunnels in the first place - that is Hurricane Sandy not hitting NYC at all - would have been much better - but that's not how the cookie crumbled. Mike |
