Posted by Osmosis Jones on Wed Jan 16 17:58:56 2008, in response to Re: G Train to be cut back to Court Square permanently, posted by The Port of Authority on Wed Jan 16 16:49:40 2008. You're forgetting the useful transfer at 4th Avenue.Sure it's a benefit, but few people would use the transfer from a southbound (G) onto a northbound (R) (and vice-versa), and there are not that many people who commute from the Crosstown line to points on the 4th/Sea Beach/West End lines south of 9th Street. The G on Queens Boulevard really serves no purpose. That's a lie and you know it, people from the Crosstown line use the Queens Boulevard line for the (R) connection to Manhattan, direct service to Jackson Heights (where there is also bus service to LaGuardia Airport), Jamaica (sure you can transfer at Court Square, but why transfer there if the Queens Plaza connection is way easier?), and Queens Center Mall to name a few reasons. I saw a weekend Manhattan-bound G arrive at Roosevelt Avenue once, and although it was packed, virtually everyone got off at Roosevelt to transfer to the express. I'm pretty sure that the (V) and (R) are like that too. What's needed is weekend V or expanded R service to replace the G on Queens Boulevard. No, what's needed to replace the (G) on Queens Boulevard is nothing. |
