Posted by Newkirk Plaza David on Tue Aug 11 13:28:23 2009, in response to Why were the B and D swapped in 2004?, posted by edk256 on Tue Aug 11 12:41:48 2009. Because a NYCT survey was performed for Brighton and West End customers as to which truck line they prefer on weekends (the main basis for full time service.) The results of the NYCT customer survey showed that Brighton Line riders prefer the Broadway line on weekends while West End line customers chose 6th Ave. Therefore, the Q became the full time route on the Brighton line (to Broadway), while the D is the full time route on the West End. Though, I lose a one seat ride from the Bronx to Brooklyn (since I live near the Brighton), the transfers are much better to utilize along the Broadway line in Manhattan than on 6th Ave. |
