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.The MTA claims to include walking time. You can't have it both ways. Either lots more people will take the G northbound, in which case yes, walking time between the G and the M at Court Square could increase. Or else they won't in which case walking time won't increase. You can't say that walking time will increase, and therefore people won't use that method. That's akin to Yogi Berra saying that no one goes there any more because it's too crowded. Discourage everyone east of Lorimer from using the (G) unless their destinations are along the Flushing line, or the QB line, or traveling southbound. Discouragement doesn't really work. If G to Court Square is the quickest way to midtown when the L disappears, people will use it up to the point that G cars heading northbound can't fit a single additional passenger. |
