The 11th street cut is a nice to have, but is something that should only be used as a reroute. Especially as it was built during a time when the 63rd street tunnel and queens boulevard connection to the 63rd street tunnel and the Chrystie street connection didn’t exist. The R and M run mostly a parallel route in Manhattan, so parallel that the old M6 and M7 routes used the R route southbound and present M route northbound on surface streets. So it’s not that much of a stretch to have the G run all times except nights to continental and if you want Manhattan service to have the M run to continental all times except nights with no service on the 11th street cut except for reroutes due to emergencies or GOs. It can be sold as an improvement for north Brooklyn. If the Manhattan trains get so crowded, at least the queens boulevard line has express buses and the LIRR that compete with it to absorb the excess demand due to any crowds |
