Posted by Russ on Sun Nov 11 15:49:29 2007, in response to Re: SI residents on MTA Fare Hike, posted by Grand concourse on Sun Nov 11 15:38:17 2007. Fine, but is there a need for a full 600' train running on the entire SIRT?In 2007, probably not. Once such a train begins to operate, real estate development will kick in and it will eventually be such a need. If not then why extend the R train? St. George to 95 St is unnecessarily long and expensive. Connecting the SIR to the 4th Av line south of 59th St seems to make more sense to me. Why not just send the SIRT to Brooklyn and transfer to the R? In order for the SIR to be a realistic alternative to the ferry, express buses and cars, riders should have a one seat ride into the CBDs. This might initially appear like overkill, but ridership will grow to make it worthwhile. |
