Just the 5 would still end at Bowling Green, and the E would be local east of Forest Hills. And of course no special services like the Z or peak-direction expresses.I think a shorter duration of service at 6 tph is better than 3 or 4 tph at any time. Besides that NYers aren't used to subways running at bus frequencies, the B becomes like a "virus" in the system, having to work around the more frequent C, D, and Q, meaning it will probably be held at merges when it arrives at the "wrong" time as it is just as likely to come when it is not needed (i.e. the C, D, or Q just went by and everyone got on) as when it is needed (before the C, D, or Q). But if it runs at normal frequencies, it can be properly integrated like on the weekdays. So to minimize costs, just find the hours of the day when it is most needed. |
