Even if the (L) can make it to Lorimer, it won't have anything close to normal service.Why not a 4-car OPTO train every 5 minutes? That doesn't use that many cars. Manhattan riders should be directed to buses to the el. Only people actually needing the (G) should be making the transfer at Lorimer. Do you not understand how much cheaper it is to move riders by train than by bus? If someone lives near the L between Marcy and Lorimer, you want them to take the L to the G, not fill up expensive shuttle buses. We're talking 160 subway cars worth of passengers in a single hour. If they all took a bus, that's 320 bus loads, which is insane. You want as few as possible of those people to need to take an extra bus. |
