Once the V is extended to Church, there will no longer be the need to run the F at current headways.That would need to be an extremely asymmetrical service pattern: those F trains are needed in Queens. The F can run at 10 TPH (adequate for Culver el needs) and the V can run at 10 TPH (which, because these trains will START at Church, will be adequate for IND local needs). Or you could stop repeating the Astoria El mistake and run both local. If you thow away BMT transferees at 4th Ave, the busiest station on the IND segment of the F is 7th Ave, which will be served by all trains. But that is a big thing to throw away. You'd be inserting an extra transfer into people's journeys by having the express be the only train south of Church. Ultimately, this would have a negative effect on Culver El ridership as riders who formerly used that transfer used buses to the West End and Brighton Lines. |
