Posted by LuchAAA on Sat Apr 12 02:06:03 2008, in response to Re: G Train Hearing at City Hall, posted by KLCS on Sat Apr 12 01:40:56 2008. I remember the first time I worked the G as a motorman. I remembered my days as a passenger, running for the four-car train, while standing on a section of platform where the train does not stop. I always blow my horn entering each station and passengers look up and knew what I mean-That they have to start getting closer to the middle of the station. It helps keep me on-time. They appreciate this.Truthfully, even if TA schedules more local service on weekends, they'll still have to scale back most weekends do to construction(GO's) anyway. There are four segments of local track in Queens. Continental to Roosevelt local. Roosevelt to Queens Plaza local. Queens Plaza to Roosvelet local and Roosevelt to Continental local. Statistically, there's a good chance one will be out of service on weekends for construction. This forces TA to reduce local service regardless of the ridership levels at local Queens stops. |
