And that is the point:The greater number of people would be more likely to use the SAS to lower Manhattan via the Nassau Street connection as opposed to the Water Street connection, and it would probably not be as much cost to do. You didn't even bring up the Brooklyn end of the SAS, as in this scenario the T train likely re-claims its old route via Nassau to Bay Parkway on a 24/7 basis. It also gives West End riders a choice of 2nd or 6th avenue and local riders between 36th and Pacific a choice between Broadway and 2nd Avenue. Also, in this scenario if the SAS joins the Nassau Street line at The Bowery or Canal Street, J riders would be able to switch to the uptown SAS (T) train via a cross-platform transfer at either The Bowery or Canal the way that line is currently set up. There is no question the Water Street branch also needs to be done, but Nassau Street would provide many more connections to other lines and alternatives for many to the 4/5 in both Brooklyn and Manhattan between Pacific Street-Atlantic Avenue and 125th/Lex. |
