Any service change is going to screw over some riders. You are never going to have 100% improvement for everyone, but if it's the vast majority, then it makes sense to change it.

The thing is though, the majority already has 3 lines that go to where they want to go, and run pretty frequently when combined with the "minority" line, to me, what more could they want? Not everybody is headed their way.

You can't run a service for the sole reason that it was "like that for 70 years". If that was the case, we would still be changing for the Broadway Ferry at the foot of the East River before the Williamsburg Bridge opened, or riding the 3rd ave horsecar tracks in manhattan.

It wasn't really an argument itself, just a fact to help the overall argument.

When it's 100 to 1 there's not much you can do. You can't not do service changes because a small minority of people have a problem with it.

Well, I just think that service should be more dedicated and open minded towards the flexibility of some riders. If riders have something that they like and is well used, I don't think it's fair at all to take it away from them in that point-of-view. Damn I hate that the (G) has no political pull.
