Posted by Wallyhorse on Tue Nov 29 16:03:56 2016, in response to Re: Bringing the ''Brown R'' back as (K), posted by Broadway Lion on Tue Nov 29 10:32:38 2016. The problem is the (R) gets held up elsewhere by too many switches and other lines. Some of this should alleviate with the (Q) running on the SAS, however, it's still a big problem with sometimes very long gaps in service on the (R) that have been well-chronicled here and elsewhere (especially where sometimes there is as much as a 45-minute gap between (R) trains!). This (K) would eliminate that issue because it would be one-half of a split route with the (J) between Bay Ridge and Jamaica (with both halves terminating at Chambers).The main purpose of the (K) is to get riders in Bay Ridge and along 4th Avenue local stations to the various transfer points, including: (A) (C) (F) at Jay-Metrotech (A) (C) (2) (3) (4) (5) at Fulton Street (B) (Q) at Dekalb (B) (D) (N) (Q) (2) (3) (4) (5) at Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center (D) (N) at 36th Street (F) (G) at 4th Avenue-9th Street (2) (3) (4) (5) at Court Street (4) (5) (6) at Chambers Street This doesn't even include the (R) that obviously can be transferred to anywhere up to Court Street or the late-night (N) that also can be transferred to anywhere between 59th Street and Court Street in Brooklyn. Those wanting to continue to Jamaica can then do a simple transfer to the (J) at Chambers in this format. This (K) (former "Brown R") fixes a lot of issues. |
