Yes, people often aren't aware of or don't look at all sides of what they are getting. Let's take 75th Ave, Briarwood, Sutphin, and 169th.Suppose the planets align and they find a way someday to extend both the M and R to 179th, and make the F Hillside Express all the way. The four stations in question would go from getting 63rd St - ONLY direct service to getting BOTH 53rd and 60th St direct services. For 53rd, it means you can get there now without having to get on the E, and for 60th it means Lexington Express access without an advance change of trains or walking. The price is 6 extra minutes spent on Queens Blvd, but practically nobody realizes it's only 6 minutes. While for some, it may be a bad deal, there are many positives if people had the ability to look at the big picture, which I acknowledge they don't. Mitigating this somewhat, however, is the fact that the Q will be available as a cross-platform connection at 63rd, making the F much more desirable in the days to come than it is now. |
