There are some differences between Queens and Brooklyn on weekends.In Brooklyn, you have a major terminal, Coney Island, and from there, trains branch out to the Brighton, Sea Beach, West End and Culver lines. Each branch is served by just one train. In Queens, we have the E, F, and R on weekends on Queens Blvd, which then branch out to Parson, and 179, with R's terminating in Forest Hills. With three trains on one trunk, it justifies the TA's decision to maintain both express and locals. Still, the ridership levels at stations like Woodhaven, Rego Park and Grand seem to indicate that we need a local every five or six minutes. That never seems to happen. Express trains greatly outnumber locals, and you can make this observation just standing at Rego Park, without looking at the schedules. Something needs to be done, so that you don't have 300 people standing at Woodhaven, watching 3 or 4 express trains pass before a local comes. |
