Very interesting, albeit brief, read. I'm liking that downtown is again becoming important, despite what others here say when I suggest a new rail station there. |

The funny thing is that downtown has the greatest concentration of subway lines in the city -- from the era when it was the Financial District. For a time, all these stations seemed a bit superfluous, but not any more! |

With longer and more crowded trains.10 car A and 8 car C trains have replaced the Fulton el's 6 car trains. 10 car F's have replaced 6 car Culver-Nassau's. People on 6 car 2nd and 3rd Ave el trains are on the Lex, and those trains have grown in length. The list goes on. |

About the same number of people in 1947/48 who were paying another fare to make transfers at places like Times Square, thus counting as another 'rider'. |
