Posted by Osmosis Jones on Thu Jan 17 17:02:13 2008, in response to Re: G Train to be cut back to Court Square permanently, posted by The Port of Authority on Thu Jan 17 16:36:45 2008. If you design a transit system based on giving preferential treatment to the few who would benefit from something rather than the majority of people who would be disadvantaged, you're not getting anywhere.How are they disadvantaged if they already have and will continue to have their services though? As long as the services continue to run, they shouldn't be any disadvantage besides the across the platform transfers which are not bad compared to the Court Square transfer. I'd call the reasons legitimate. And you can always transfer at Court Square -- it really isn't that difficult! Yes, you can transfer at Court Square, but that still is an inconvenience and really does not solve the problem compared to the situation at Queens Plaza. Besides, if you're transferring at Court Square/23rd/Ely Avenue, then why would you be taking the G further into Queens anyway? You're arguing for G service between Forest Hills and Court Square, but you say that most people want Manhattan and that they transfer at Court Square. That sounds like there isn't much use for the line after Court Square (or Queens Plaza, if you want to stretch it.) Yes, most people do want Manhattan and do transfer at Court Square (by force), but I'm not saying that the Forest Hills trains are empty neither. |
