Because you can't have G, R and V service operating simultaneously on the Queens Boulevard local tracks. Only two lines can operate at once, and since the R and V are what the majority wants, then that's what operates. Operating the G and R would be inconveniencing those who want to go to Manhattan, which, last time I checked, are the majority.To be clear, the problem with operating all three services simultaneously on the local tracks appears to the terminal at Forest Hills and the relay operations using only empty trains. To my mind, to figure out a way around this problem that's viable would do a lot of good. Two ideas: 1. Since labor is concerned about physical attack while relaying, use MTA police as part of the relay operation. 2. Build a new local line station, perhaps in the vicinity of or at Jamaica Yard, above-ground, to keep costs low. |
