Posted by Dupont Circle Station on Thu Apr 28 11:46:53 2016, in response to Re: (M) train during (L) tunnel closure, posted by Wallyhorse on Sat Apr 23 21:17:47 2016. I seriously doubt there is sufficient demand for one-seat rides between the UES and stations along the Bway/Jamaica el to justify such a service at any time. If the handful or 2 of such riders on the UES had "the political clout to force [it]" they would not be riding the subway to Bushwick or Jamaica. Your continuing insistence on a Second Av "via Chrystie" service is beginning to sound like 33rd Street's ranting about having the clout to have the Chrystie connector permanently severed to guarantee continued (V) service originating at 2nd Av for him.The purpose of the exercise is to provide additional service along the Broadway el to ease crowding from displaced (L) riders traveling to/from Manhattan. Adding a few tph on the (M), possibly in the form of Canarsie thru-service, addresses that. Queens Blvd can readily accommodate the increased (M) service. If CBTC work continues into the (L) shutdown, weekend headways on the (E) & (M) would not prevent turning (M) at Queens Plaza. Your "(T)" fantasy simply doesn't provide any tangible, lasting benefits to (L) riders. It is far more likely that 3-5tph thru-routed Canarsie <M> 12-15/7 would prove far more popular. |
