Because of the one seat ride to where they work.I agree with everything that Chris wrote so far and the reason is simple. The subway is supposed to bring the greatest benefit to the largest amount of people. I don't think that people living in areas served exclusively by the (J/M/Z) are anymore likely to work Downtown then people living elsewhere. An M-V combo would grant many of these people a one-seat ride to Midtown rather then Downtown. For those still heading to the Financial District, an easy cross-platform transfer to the (J/Z) isn't much of a sacrifice when compared to the system-wide benefits of such a merge, mainly the relief of the (L) train. That said, I would prefer that the (V) continue to Bway Jct and the (M) remain as is. That way people along stations between Myrtle and Marcy get two choices (the M AND the V) and people at local stations between Bway Jct and Myrtle will have a Midtown service while (J/Z) riders can go express between Bway Jct and Myrtle. |
