Posted by Grand concourse on Sun Jan 27 23:07:36 2008, in response to Re: SAS to Brooklyn/Staten Island, posted by (SIR) North Shore Line on Sun Jan 27 21:21:56 2008. "When the (T) line is finally running, it would be fully automated by CBTC meaning that the large spacing would have no effect on the line, just like BART's 4-mile long Transbay Tunnel that is shared by 4 different automated lines."Apples to oranges. You can't compare the 2 systems. SI is just 1 of 5 boroughs while the BART links SF to Oakland and is a major link. A 5 mile tunnel b/w 2 boroughs is not a justified expense. If it was a tunnel that connected Manhattan to NJ then it would be justifed since it would be used by a larger group of riders. SI maybe growing, but it is not compareable in size to other boroughs like Brooklyn or Queens. SI still has the free ferry and express buses. The only rail connection that is possible would be to Brooklyn [but should not be connected to the R as a continuous subway line, but more a shuttle w/an across the platform transfer]. |
