I don't know why it ran express but I do know why the M was shifted from the Brighton Line to the West End. The new head of Operations Planning (who was a real jerk) appointed by David Gunn, wanted to provide a direct route for the Hassidic Jews living in Borough Park to the Lower East Side and Williamsburg. He may have made it express to provide them with a faster ride at the expense of N line riders. (Not everything the TA does is based on studies and numbers.) I think he was no longer in charge by the time the M became the local. You might say he was a pro-semite. |
