So you're saying that more personnel would be needed to run the D on the Queens tracks overnight along 6th Avenue, to serve 14 and 23 Street every 10 minutes?The B makes all local stops on weekdays, from Grand to 145. And overnight the A makes all local stops on Central Park West, so the D could do that with no additional staffing. But if it's true that it would require someone extra to work in the tower from Midnight to 6am, just so the D could stop at 14 and 23 Street, I guess that doesn't justify the cost. And if the D can't make those stops, I guess it would be too confusing to have it make local stops on Central Park West overnight? So that's why the D is one of only three overnight express subway lines in NYC (along with the F in Queens and the 3 on Broadway/7th Avenue). |
