Posted by Eric B on Tue Jan 22 19:09:18 2008, in response to Re: G Train to be cut back to Court Square permanently, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Tue Jan 22 18:49:50 2008. >It's not like we are asking to take 2 cars off the N train or the R train which uses it's full length trains more to capacity.To them, it IS like asking that. It is the busiest corridor, they are hoping ridership will increase, and it in fact does seem like it is, however slowly. Taking cars off such a line is a "reversion". It is going backwards, where the lines already like that apparently had no need to move forwards. Plus, Jamaica would now need this dedicated fleet for one line, which it does not now have. It is NOT just a matter of "taking two cars off". It is making things more complicated on several levels. I want to see us get better service (Since I AM still over here), but I have come to learn a bit how the operations planners think; and I just don't see them doing this. It goes against their objective, which is better Queens corridor service, first. So they will just shoot it down (and us get nothing), unless there was suddenly a mass demand that outwieghed Queens corridor needs. Of course, there cannot be such a demand when the people do not even know about it. (and people over heard have never really been big on making their voices heard like others are). So if something was done, it would have to start out small, and then let demand increase. They have absolutely no reason to do this, now. And anyway; I think the V would be more naturally fitting, and useful as the local in Brooklyn to allow express service, and it seems the operations planners are finally starting to yield to this demand, though it will be delayed by the construction. |
