However there are only 2 IRT lines that have a Bronx express service, the 5 and the 6. Until a few years ago, both the 5 and 6 had a service pattern that had both local and express service operating simultaneously on both lines. At one point it was decided to have all rush hour 5s operate exp in the Bx in the peak direction of traffic leaving only the 2 to provide the lcl service. Since the 6 is the only service on its branch it has to have both a local and exp service in the Bx. |
