Posted by Dupont Circle Station on Fri Jan 25 00:12:55 2008, in response to Re: SAS Phase 4: Water Street, posted by Nyctransitman on Thu Jan 24 23:03:43 2008. How many times are you going to post the exact same message?As I and others have pointed out, if you have been reading along rather than just jumping in: A regular service using Atlantic on the Canarsie for a terminal is a non-starter because it would create delays on both the el and whatever is coming down from the 14th Street line. (Same reason why 57th can't be a terminal with 63rd Street service running through.) The only possibility for a service terminating on the Canarsie line is if it runs through and every other L train turns back at Myrtle. A Met/6th Av service would be best utilized as a local since the stated purpose is to provide a one-seat alternative to the L or "south to go north" transfers. Running it express Myrtle-to-Marcy means pax between those pax still have to transfer. The express run has to be for the Jamaica service, to attract riders from the E. With a same-platform transfer to a 6th Av service available, it might attract even more people would would choose the E for its transfers on Queens Blvd. Lastly, the number of TPH required to make an additional service for Nassau/South Brooklyn would create an over-service condition on Broadway. So, there you have it. Until CBTC *and* ATO are up and running along the Broadway/Nassau trunk, there is no way your idea will can work. |
