Any rider who wants to get to the E/V/7 would have to skip every other train that comes to their station, and unless headways get decreased to 3 or 4 minutes, that station/transfer would have LESS service, not more! Sure, it would help out riders going to any other station in Brooklyn, but I would say a vast percentage (at LEAST 25%, probably even more) want Court Square, as it's the only transfer that gets you above 14 St.It's also completely idiotic to make 21/VA the new short-turn station, as the ONLY riders going under the Newtown Creek would be those who weren't paying attention to announcements/displays that said this run would not get them anywhere EXCEPT to one of the 5 least used stations in the city, and 21/VA would suddenly become populated....by pissed off riders waiting to transfer to the full length G 4 minutes behind it. Yes, it WOULD make more sense to have Bedford-Nostrand be a short turn station, but even that doesn't make sense as the crosstown line is short enough that better headways can be added without having to add more than 1 or 2 additional crews. |
