And if you just miss an R, it will be 42 minutes.You can't reasonably expect schedule coordination between IRT and BMT (except at Queensboro Plaza), but you can expect that they would avoid things like missing the connection at 36th St. by two minutes. Why would they have done that, especially when they knew that there had been a delay on the train that should connect with it? Better handling of the scheduling, with no extra equipment needed, would have cut 16 minutes off your trip (if the R came two minutes after your train, instead of two minutes before). That would have meant a total trip time (from your arrival at Atlantic) of 48 minutes. Since it seems they can't handle the schedule coordination right, the R to Whitehall should improve things. But why they can't handle it isn't clear. 24 minutes without an N or a D also seems outrageous, unless there was some kind of blockage between DeKalb and Atlantic (and there's no reason to think there was, especially since you said this kind of thing happens "often"). |
