So if the F is running to Lefferts at night, what's it doing during the day? There's no need for a special nighttime GO on the Fulton St line since only the A is needed.This is, odd. |

The midnight F between 179 and Stl runs every 20 minutes. So I would expect it to run every 20 minutes between 179 and Lefferts on the midnight as well. Then "cut back" to Euclid all day S/S. |

Unnecessary to relay both OPTO A and rerouted F at the same time. Just run the F thru and no relays necessary at all.If no sign program, just sign the F to Euclid and when it arrives there, change the sign to A, as well as announcements from the dispatchers office. |

Why at Hoyt, and not Bergen, since the crossover is after Bergen St.? Maybe they feel they should not strand the people at Bergen, whereas at Hoyt you have other options. Are they running shuttle buses between Hoyt and 18th Ave.? |

So everybody can get the shuttle bus at Jay St., including the "express" bus. You can't do that at Bergen, plus Smith St. is a one way.Too early for the GO to come out, when it does come out, we'll see the route of the shuttle bus and if it going to Church or 18th. |

Thanks, kinda figured.But it's official when NYCT's GO comes out. For example, one of the things they do sometimes is terminate the G @ Bed/Nost and run a single track shuttle to Hoyt to piggy back another GO if necessary. |

Short waits.You have a choice between the A and F, so you have no longer than a 4-5 minutes during the day. Even on the midnight, 6 trains per hour each direction. The shuttle buses run very frequently too. |

Since electronic signs aren't limited by physical space like roll signs, they should be programmed to allow for any route to go from any station to any station by any route and in any classification of service. |

Even though the el structure is on Liberty Av, it is historically part of the Physical entity known until 1956 as the "Fulton St El" evn though in its last years, it didn't run on Fulton St at all during midnights and weekends. The present el structure that does run over Fulton St is not the "Fulton St El' but is a constituent part of the "Jamaica Line." The so called "Nassau St Line" actually has very little mileage under Nassau St itself, the major portion of the line actually being under Centre St. |
