Posted by New Flyer #857 on Wed Jan 10 16:05:10 2018, in response to Re: Manhattan Bridge (B) (D) train side fuckd up, posted by SLRT on Wed Jan 10 11:00:29 2018. Yes, when I said "services to Brooklyn" I meant something like a "yellow D" (though via-route colors weren't in use yet at this time I think) or a Q or something like that. I would not suggest two extra transfers (one at 34th and another at DeKalb).If the "yellow D" went as far as 57th / 7th, then pretty much only people coming from the Bronx and CPW and seeking Brighton would be affected. Is that a lot of people? (I'm assuming that it's a wash whether the Brighton service uses 6th or Broadway - that it conveniences/inconveniences about the same number of people equally). I would say the prime benefit of performing the WIlly B maneuver is that you really didn't have to educate people as to what was happening. Your D train still made it to DeKalb and that's all they had to know. But I would suppose there were many who, finding themselves in this position, would have preferred to just have a direct Broadway-Brighton service to turn to instead, and that these people may outweigh whatever time savings there was for people coming from north of 59th St and wanting Brighton not having to change. |
