That would need to be an extremely asymmetrical service pattern: those F trains are needed in Queens.It used to be worse. Before the V, the F ran 18 TPH peak in Queens and peak in Brooklyn. Or you could stop repeating the Astoria El mistake and run both local. Astoria is different. N/W individual headways in 2001 were less than 10 TPH and the disparity between express and local ridership was much greater. And there was no G to supplement the local. 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. Manhattan-bound riders outnumber these people exponentially. My pattern is beneficial to the largest number of riders while causing the least amount of cofusion between it and the current one. |
