Posted by Michael549 on Sat Apr 12 03:01:43 2008, in response to Re: G Train Hearing at City Hall, posted by LuchAAA on Sat Apr 12 00:52:47 2008. From a previous message: "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."Please note that I am not saying that local service should or should not be improved. Of course I know that EE-trains used to run "normal hours" (weekdays 6am to 8pm) or that N-trains did and did not run at certain periods of the weekday. Through other members of the forum I've learned the RR-trains ran along Queens Blvd weekdays as a local BEFORE the EE-trains existed. I was talking about the WEEKEND day-time service along Queens Blvd, and that E and F trains for decades were ALWAYS running express along that section. That happened whether the local train was the G or GG-train, the R train, or whether now that the V-train makes local stops weekdays. The issue of direct Manhattan local service on the weekends is a good debateable issue. So KLCS, I agree with all of your points in your Sat Apr 12 01:34:22 2008 message - since all of it supports the point I made. The point I made and still make is that E and F trains for decades were ALWAYS running express along Queens Blvd during the day-time portions of the weekends. That was a decision by the TA/MTA - even when they could have chosen to do something different. Mike |
