No, maximizing resources is discontinuing lower use service to provide better service to more used service, in addition to decreasing headways.True, but if other riders are screwed over because of the discontinuations, then I don't think that it really maximizing them. Of course it's Manhattan, but it's not the MTA's fault that the IND designed the G line not to go to Manhattan. And yes, Queens Plaza is easier than Court Square, but the G can not terminate at Queens Plaza (unfortunately), also by design, so this is the next best thing. It isn't logistical or cost effective to run it to Queens Plaza, so Court Square it is. Increasing Manhattan local service on the Queens Blvd line is a lot more important and serves a lot more people than when the G line runs there in the way. I know that it's not the best thing to end it at Queens Plaza, which is why I think it should go all the way to Forest Hills like it has in the past 70 years to give them the extra service and option too. there's 1000 more on Queens Blvd that will give it a high mark. That doesn't mean that the needs of the others should be ignored necessarily though. |
