I never understand this "shorter trains" argument people have. First off, they are not "that" much shorter....only 120 feet. Next, they use markers to properly place a train on a platform where it will be most convenient to stop. In some stations, that could be at on e far end, in others, in the middle. I don't know why the "short train" argument people always assume the train has to stop right in the middle of the platforms.Third, the V's are not packed to capacity, and not close to full, so it should be fine. And fourth, which connects to "third", until recently the V wasn't even there at all, and people had to use the even shorter G that didn't even go to Manhattan, so I don't see how 8 car V's would be the problem people make it out to be. |
