Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Tue Feb 13 18:05:05 2007, in response to Re: THE ORPHANS OF CHRYSTIE STREET, PART 1 THE RJ, posted by Edwards! on Sun Feb 11 23:12:09 2007. Extensive surveys were done before 2004 and conclusively demonstrated that Broadway is (and always was) the more highly desired Manhattan trunk Brighton riders wanted their trains to access. THAT fact led to the Q becoming the 24/7 Brighton route. The desire for the Broadway trunk increases even more on weekends, so that's why 2 services cross the south side on weekends, while one one on the north side does. This is how it should have been done in 1967. They adopted a pattern which basically forced Brighton line riders to use 6th Ave, most likely to ram as many bodies up the new connection as possible. The BMT was still a second class citizen back then. |
