Oh, [BLEEP] those Bay Ridge pols! They do not know how to operate a transit system. You tell them to keep those sleazy and grimy fingers off the (R) in anyway shape or form.Sending the (R) to Canal would have to require taking cars from the East New York pool (instead of Jamaica Yard), and cutting them to 8-car from 10-car trains. Also, the MTA would have to spend a good chunk of capital dollars in making the easternmost side of the station as a suitable terminal, installing new trackage and switches, provide a crew room, etc. Do not forget about the Williamsburg Bridge, which is now to subject to more weekend closures in the future, based upon the plans of NYC DOT. Besides, the trains over the Willy B do have to go at a slower pace on that ancient structure. Sending even half the (W) runs to 9th Avenue is counterproductive, as that line was made actually to *satisfy* (hey, your term) the Astoria residents to get a direct ride into Manhattan during the weekday hours. Four different routes sharing on the BMT 4th Avenue Line would cause more delays at around the 36th Street interlocking area. Now you try to read those lines in between as what I had responded here. -William A. Padron ["Queens-Forest Hills"] |
