Posted by Elkeeper on Thu May 18 20:04:20 2017, in response to Re: If the 3rd Avenue EL had been rebuilt/Queens transfer, posted by Joe V on Thu May 18 19:14:57 2017. The 2nd Ave el, as I said, had good ridership during rush hours. But, that would have been mostly people from the Bronx, north of 57th St. And also from Queens, via the Queensboro Bridge to 57th St to/from South Ferry and City Hall. Remember, there were only 2 car trains mid-day, to/from 129 St. After closures, some of them went to the 3rd Ave el, TARS streetcars, or buses on 1st and 2nd Ave. The 2nd Ave el carried about 30 milion fares per year. After June 11th, 1940 (el abandoned north of 57th St) and June 13th, 1942 (abandoned south of 57th St), those riders did not gravitate to the 3rd Ave el, en masse. |
