Posted by Michael549 on Sun Nov 18 11:40:03 2007, in response to Re: Build a Virtual Subway Line in the Bronx, posted by SMAZ on Sun Nov 18 03:26:42 2007. If I were a NY-Penn Station rider or a PATH train rider, and I wanted to go Yankee Stadium, there is one simple operation, if I really want a one seat ride. Since both terminals are in the 33rd Street-34th Street area, in the case of PATH train walk upstairs/downstairs to take the B or D trains at the 34th Street-Herald Square Station directly to/from Yankee Stadium. If I were a NY-Peen Station rider, I could walk one or two blocks to Sixth Avenue and 34th Street and then catch either the B or D trains to the Bronx, directly to Yankee Stadium.If a PATH user really did not like the crowds at 33rd and 34th Streets, they could take a PATH train to 9th Street, walk down Sixth Avenue one block to 8th Street, and there catch the B and D trains at the West 4th Street station (which no longer has entrances on West 4th Street, but on 3rd Street and 8th Street). My point it that there is no compelling reason to join #3 trains and #4 trains in the Bronx. Not everybody gets a "one-seat ride" - and that was never and could never be the over all most important goal of the planning of subway routes and lines. Folks have to transfer from one line to another - it is a fact of transit life. Many LIRR users know the routine by heart, "change at Jamaica" Mike |
