Wallyhorse,I understand your reasons for wanting the creation of the (K) train - a basic re-creation of the Brown-R train of yesteryear. I understand why you want this K-train to run at all times, and to replace the midnight hours R-train shuttle. I disagree on the shortening of the J and Z trains to Chambers Street to accomplish your goals, where you would require J & Z riders to transfer to and from K trains to reach Fulton Street or Broad Street. I view that as a major short-coming of your plans. Major strides had been made at the MTA to get the Broad Street and Fulton Street stations open 24/7/365 and the J-train servicing those stations 24/7/365. Those were important gains made. I would prefer that J & Z trains continue to service Fulton Street and Broad Street 24/7/365 without any back-sliding and/or requiring J & Z riders to have to transfer trains as they had to for decades on the weekends and late nights - when J-trains ended at Canal Street and Chambers Street. The original rush hours only Brown-R train did not require a shortening of J or Z train service. Your new K-train service would help Lexington Avenue subway riders reach Brooklyn when due to Joralemon Street tunnel repairs weekend #4 trains do not travel to and from Brooklyn. Your new K-train service could easily speed up the commutes of south Brooklyn riders. These kinds of benefits do not have to come at the expense of J & Z train northern Brooklyn riders. Mike |
