More people's commutes commutes will be enhanced as a resultWith even more screwed. and G service can also have trains added to it lessening headways, perhaps longer trains, and better service on Queens Blvd without it. That's for the better good, and more good than the some (not many) that used the connection. I think that Queens Boulevard would be better with the (G) as it provides a unique service in addition to supplementing the unreliable (R). It serves more people through better local service on Queens Blvd to Manhattan which many more people use, and increasing and enhancing G service on the Court Square to Church Ave segment, thus also increasing the majority of the people that use the G train's commute. That is the MAJORITY of users. Service would not get better with the (V) over the (G) but rather more redundant IMO, if they (Queens Boulevard local riders) cannot walk across the platform at Queens Plaza, Jackson Heights, Forest Hills to get 6th Avenue service, then that's too bad for them. The (G) on the other hand supplements the (R) while also providing service from Queens Boulevard to a line that none of the others serve (Crosstown). To be honest I cannot see that much more commuter attraction to the (G) after its extension to Church Avenue besides the somewhat convenient 4th Avenue-9th Street transfer, I think that the (G) would be better used on the Queens Boulevard line than the Culver Line south of 4th Avenue. |
