They're not all going to Penn Station, if they were, then how come I hear so many "Change at Jamaica"'s?There are MANY reasons to change at Jamaica from "Penn Station Trains". Some people may need Woodside, but are onn a Babylon express, so need to change. Some want brooklyn, some want Forest Hills. At rush hours, some want Hunterspoint. Most people want Penn. Some people want other things, and for that they change 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. You are inconveniencing 3/4 of a trainload of people because a very very small fraction of the train want something else. Sure that is true for other branches too, but on the other branches, it's not as many people. The Babylon, Huntington, and Ronkonkoma lines are the busiest lines, that's why they get the priority. |
