Apparently, some of them have complained loudly enough to keep this obvious change from happening for quite some time.But their complaints don't matter right now. With only enough budget and trainsets for two routes east of Forest Hills, the current F train configuration writes itself, regardless of whether it is liked or not. If a third route (M or R) were to go beyond Forest Hills, they would probably argue to still keep the F local in their section and succeed. But if both the M and R went on, and there were four routes involved, they would probably be tested and even then have a shot at victory. 49th St (Broadway) manages to keep its 3 services, so I don't think it impossible for even a station like 75th Ave to end up with 3 services only to keep its express service. Of course, however, I do not see both the M and R going to 179th for years to come. |
