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.It's not really that much of an inconvenience IMO seeing the amount of Penn Station-Jamaica trains on the weekends. Sure, the fraction may be small when compared to the other riders, but that doesn't mean that the Flatbush Avenue trains wouldn't be lightly used particularly, just not as well used as the Penn Station trains, right? Yes, they are the busier lines, which is why Flatbush Avenue deserves them as that's where people want to go from there, and that's why they (Ronkonkoma, Huntington, and Babylon branches) deserve Flatbush Avenue service for increased travel flexibility and additional service east of Jamaica. |
