Again:You are trying to justify keeping the V at 2nd Avenue solely because YOU will be losing YOUR being able to sit on the V as opposed to standing on the F. I'll agree that the area surrounding the 2nd Avenue station has boomed tremendously in recent years, and that has fueled into more passengers at the 2nd Avenue Station. That in and of itself, however, does not justify keeping the V at 2nd Avenue and denying riders on the Broadway-Brooklyn line, ALL of whom who want midtown currently having a two or even a three-seat ride being able to have a one-seat ride, especially if it makes MUCH more effecient use of the two lines that are being combined into one in question. The F train you will be taking will be considerably less crowded than it is now because those who currently take the F train will now simply stay on the V train or will make a same platform transfer to the V at Essex as opposed to going downstairs to get the F train there, especially since the V is one less stop going to midtown. As said before, I have little sympathy because I grew up in the much more densely populated upper east side and only had the 6 train for all of my time there at 77th/Lexington, with that train often just as packed as any F train (and in the 1980s when the system was in much worse shape). |
