Once Unification happened, the City had its hands full trying to run the lines it had, and form them into something resembling a unified system. The B of T and the NYCTA felt they got more bang for the buck building connections between lines, like the various free transfers that opened in 1948, and track connections like the IND-Culver one, the 11th Street cut, Fulton St. el remnant and LIRR Rockaway line to the Fulton St. subway, and through-routing the Dyre Ave. line with the IRT mainlines, than they would building all-new lines. |
