Re: List of closed New York City Subway entrances

Posted by AlM on Sun Dec 16 13:26:39 2018, in response to Re: List of closed New York City Subway entrances, posted by BrooklynBus on Sun Dec 16 13:12:46 2018.

When the MTA decided the close entrances and exits on a massive scale, the IND was hit particularly hard with longer walks to and from stations. If you find yourself at the wrong end of the train, it can take you over five minutes underground to reach the street and another five minutes above ground to get to the point where the closed entrance used to be.

Somewhat of an exaggeration. Walking 600 feet in 5 minutes is 2 feet per second or 1-1/3 mph. Most people walk at 3 mph.

Still very annoying, but more like 4-5 minutes than 10.
