Posted by Michael549 on Wed May 4 15:42:22 2016, in response to Re: (M) train during (L) tunnel closure, posted by Dupont Circle Station on Tue May 3 19:49:57 2016. I agree with the points that you have made.In order to do what you're proposing does not "REQUIRE" the "tearing up" of the subway map for transit riders at places very far distant place as Wallyhorse proposes. In order to do what you're proposing responds to the NEEDS of the riders that ordinarily would use the L-train in Brooklyn, and for trips to/from Manhattan. In addition to working with the arrangement of subway routes that subway riders have come to expect for years. For a regular J or M train rider the pathway of those lines is easy to predict, and therefore explain-able to others, especially habitual L-train riders having to use those lines. Heavily re-arranging train routes all over the place, etc. for some "better purpose" - can easily confuse transit riders - on top of issues with shuttle bus transfers, etc. Wallyhorse in his proposals does not seem to put first the idea that he's really, really trying to help L-train riders. He spends most of his recent time arguing about how upper Eastside riders would benefit from his ideas! Mike |
