Posted by The Port of Authority on Wed Jan 16 18:47:32 2008, in response to Re: G Train to be cut back to Court Square permanently, posted by Osmosis Jones on Wed Jan 16 18:38:27 2008. You don't need to, just ride the train and observe where people get off yourself like I did.As a matter of fact, I did that once when the G was running from Smith/9th to Forest Hills once. I rode from Bergen Street all the way to Forest Hills. Most people got off at Metropolitan Avenue/Grand Street, Court Square, or Queens Plaza to transfer to a Manhattan-bound train. The total number of people that stayed in my car after Queens Plaza was 3, and it probably diminished after that. I'm not asking to end trains at Queens Plaza, as a matter of fact, I think that Queens Plaza is a bulls*** terminal (not as much as Court Square, but pretty close), might as well send it to Forest Hills. Queens Plaza would work as a terminal if the necessary structural improvements were made, but I see no benefit of going any farther along Queens Boulevard. Well, my statement did not prove that point IMO but I will argue anyways. Why would they stay on until Queens Plaza if they wanted express service to Manhattan and the (G) was a local to Brooklyn? Read my post. I said after, not until. I'll say it again: "...that Queens Boulevard riders want Manhattan, not Crosstown service. If they were content with the G they would have stayed on until past Queens Plaza." As we don't seem to be getting anywhere by debating this subject, I'm ending my argument here. |
