"Jamaica Center Lower level is MUCH worse then old 168 as a terminal provided that 168 was like any other dual contracts elevated terminal. (12 vs 20-28 TPH"

Even if you are correct, Meaningless comparison considering that J service hasn't run even 20 tph for a very long time.

"Considering the fact that 179 could handle all the service from Queens Boulevard, I suspect that the overall capacity of queens rapid transit has been lowered"

That's not only false, it's laughably silly. Queens Blvd. capacity globally is higher due to the 63rd St tunnel project, whereas east of 71-Continental it's basically the same, except that trains can now be distributed to two branches.

Total train throughput has dropped because only the F serves the Hillside branch except at rush hour, but that was because the riders were dissatisfied with the F/R service offered right after Archer opened.
