Posted by Michael549 on Mon Feb 15 18:06:24 2016, in response to Re: One proposed alternative service for L riders, posted by AlM on Mon Feb 15 17:25:37 2016. From a previous message:"Increasing WB service from the current 20 tph to as many as 30 tph (with as many trains as possible going up 6th and the rest going to Chambers or Broad) is by far the biggest single improvement that can be made, overwhelms any of the others, and single-handedly makes a huge impact on the problem." I also tend to agree. I also agree that to do the above one does not have to tear up half the subway map. Even if only a few additions to the current amount of M-trains travel up the Sixth Avenue line occurs, and some added trains terminate at Chambers Street - at least several places for transfers to other subways are available. (For example, for plenty of L-train riders Union Square is a very important stop with both the BMT-Broadway & Lexington Avenue lines, a fact that often gets missed when folks here lionize "Sixth Avenue".) The urge to add L-trains to other lines can not and should not result in very long waits for the L-trains that remain on the shortened L-line, nor result in those trains being very, very crowded.
