I think that West Hempstead's branch is stuck with making the connection at Valley Stream because of the strange alignment of the Branch; the ridership is depressed by that fact.Both of the possible interpretations of your statement are likely correct. Ridership on the WH line is certainly lower than it would otherwise be (depressed) because it takes a roundabout route to NYC. I imagine that those who do ride the line are also saddened (depressed) by the fact that they often have to change at Valley Stream and then again at Jamaica to get where they are going (despite starting out at a point pretty darn close to the city). |
