Posted by BMTLines on Mon May 29 10:59:06 2006, in response to Re: Lexington Avenue Line TPH, posted by Green over Green on Mon May 29 09:11:06 2006. Several years ago I worked at a 34th and Park location. Many times when I would have to let up to three 6 trains pass before there was room to squeeze on. And yes - I pushed and squeezed on whatever space I could get when it came my turn at the front of the platform.The adventure repeated itself when I tried to transfer for the Astoria line at 59th Street. Several times an N or W would pull in packed to the seams - it opened doors to let people out but they took so long to exit that no-one had the chance to board - trains would close doors and leave virtually empty with crowds continuing to build up at the platform. Believe me when it takes up to two hours to get home for a distance that is maybe 8 miles on the map it can get very frustrating - at some point you try to get on the next train no matter what! When NY Water Taxi resumed LIC - 34th st service - I was there on the first day!!! It was more expensive but a much less frustrating commute (and I lost weight doing the walk from 1st to Park)... |
