It takes 7 minutes to get from Woodside to Penn regardless of what the schedule claims. Add 3 minutes to reach Elmhurst = 10 minutes. Eastbound trains are given an enormous amount of padding to Flushing.Yes, for East Side trips during rush hour, in the pre-GCT era, the subway is competitive. Have you ever tried the Queens Blvd local nights or weekends? Half hourly Port Wash service will be a godsend in comparison. Are you assuming that everyone who uses those subway stations lives right next to them? Because that's a pretty sloppy assumption. Anyone on the south side of Roosevelt, or to the northwest of Grand Ave, who has to walk a few blocks as is, could reasonably be expected to use Elmhurst. |
