I would suspect because most of us realize such a line would be very useful in combining one line (M) that except for a short stretch basically duplicates another (J) most of the way with another line (V) that is not the most popular in the system and would only lose one stop (its current terminal at 2nd Avenue) in a combined line, with such a combined line playing a big role in taking pressure off what is widely considered the most overcrowded line in the system (the L) while at the same time taking two lines that only operate into Manhattan on weekdays, and via combining them making the single line at least 19/7 if not 24/7.For those who would lament losing the M in South Brooklyn during rush hours, one way that can be remedied is to rebuild one connection of the former Nassau Street Loop to the Manhattan Bridge heading to Brooklyn ONLY, allowing for a Bay Parkway loop train that would start and finish there, going to Manhattan via the tunnel and from Manhattan via the Bridge after making the Nassau Street Line stops (only on the northbound track). |
