The majority of those trains are filled with people from those branches that want to go to Manhattan, not "East New York". Those trains are all geared to the east of Jamaica people where the majority of the riders are. They are not geared to the few people that use East New York, Nostrand, etc. And the chances are quite slim that the one train they would route to Brooklyn out of all the ones that go to Penn may just have a couple people traveling to Babylon from Nostrand Ave. it's geared to the majority of users. The rare few traveling directly have a simple transfer at jamaica across the platform.Yes, and the majority gets their train to Manhattan still under my plan, also, how do you know if the Flatbush trains will be underutilized? No, the railroad sets it up for the MAJORITY of people that USE THE TRAINS, which is east of jamaica. And the vast majority of those people want Penn Station. Yes, and they still get their Penn Station service, no argument there. Yes, but the majority of the people that use those trains are the people on the eastern part of the train, and they are all going to penn Station, not Flatbush. They're not all going to Penn Station, if they were, then how come I hear so many "Change at Jamaica"'s? And the lines that have the most usage (Ronkonkoma, Babylon, and Huntington), want Penn Station. It's geared now to have the least amount of people transfering at Jamaica. Your plan would make more people have to transfer at Jamaica. Yes, and those lines will still get their Penn Station, I oppose taking away any Penn Station service from those lines, just added Flatbush service, the only line out of the three that would get a Penn Station service reduction honestly would be the Babylon as for trains running every 20 minutes with the added service, Penn Station service would have to run every 40 minutes during some periods, not that bad though IMO. |
