You are basing those travel times on the published timetable, not how long it takes people to physically move between the (G) platform and the connection. During peak, that could take considerable time. Remember how long it used to take to transfer between the (7) and the QB lines at Roosevelt during peak back in the 70s and 80s? This will be like that, but supersized.MTA needs to promote the el as the preferred alternative, and favor it with the shuttle bus routings. Discourage everyone east of Lorimer from using the (G) unless their destinations are along the Flushing line, or the QB line, or traveling southbound. They need to keep the (M) running to Queens until at least midnight (and later on weekends). At the very least, it must run to Essex 24/7. |
