The end of South Brooklyn service via Montague Tunnel is probably the biggest factor. Broad Street is now effectively a stub end terminal with only the J (and its Z offshoot) serving it. Of course the post-9/11 job losses are obviously to blame as well. Finally there are many other nearby stations that Lower Manhattan riders can use, that have better service. 2/3 and 4/5 Wall Street Stations, Rector Street Stations on the R and #1 all come to mind. |
