Posted by Kew Gardens Teleport on Sun Oct 11 16:43:09 2009, in response to Re: Bergen Street Lower Level, posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Sun Oct 11 14:19:10 2009. It used to be worse. Before the V, the F ran 18 TPH peak in Queens and peak in Brooklyn.That's no reason to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. The current service pattern is better than that. 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. The disparity is still significant, and still the same way round. And it's not just Astoria: it's exactly the same reason why the 1/9 skip-stop lost people time. You don't have to use express tracks just because they're there. And there was no G to supplement the local. It's a piece of terrible IND design that the G has to end up there at all. And no-one wants to play guess the level at Bergen. 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. But you are screwing over the majority of Manhattan-bound riders whilst still screwing over a segment of the outer riders you're trying to favor (okay, there might not be many using that transfer -- we have no data -- but it's still a plausible one to make en route to Manhattan). |
