Is it frivolous, or is it based on some kind of principle that a government agency is allowed to make reasonable judgments, which may not benefit all people?

I can imagine that one could come up with real evidence that of two essentially comparable apartments the same distance from a subway station, the one near the express stop has higher value.

But a court might still rule that the case can't go forward because the government agency used its judgment to try to act in the interests of the people as a whole. This wouldn't necessarily mean the case was frivolous.

The state is sovereign and cannot be sued without its consent.
Many years back this consent was given or else the law was repealsed.

That is a temporary and unavoidable shut down for rebuilding, as has happened to the Franklin Shuttle, and will also happen to the Myrtle Ave M line, not a permanent degradation in service, which is what the Hillside Ave local stops had for a while with the R in the late 1980's.
We also know the TA has never known how to run the R service reliably.

Simply additional information:

1990s and 2000s changes:

When the IND Archer Avenue Line opened on December 11, 1988, E service was rerouted along to Jamaica Center–Parsons/Archer, and the R was extended to replace the E to Jamaica–179th Street.[9] The extension to Jamaica was short-lived, and the R was cut back on September 30, 1990 outside of rush hours,[10] and then during rush hours in October 25, 1992 to 71st–Continental Avenue in favor of making the F local between 71st Avenue and 179th Street at all times, eliminating express service along Hillside Avenue.[11][10]

In order to sue and survive a motion to dismiss by the defendant, the lawsuit must be based on some existing legal principle. IOW, there has no to be some statute, constitutional provision, precedent, etc. based on which you are suing. There is none here.

The realtors use "express" service to Manhattan as a selling point and also how long it takes. They also mention the LIRR taking 17 minutes.

There are several references to the locale of the express subway stops and the LIRR trip time. So trip time matters in selling real estate. Swap out the E or F for the R, and their commute time climbs 10 minutes, or they transfer at FH, adding to trip time, to resume their express train journey. They can claim they lost a selling advantage, took too long to sell, and had to lower the price, or else their property did not go up in value as much as it could have had they not messed with the service.

These are currents example:

And like all selling points, they come and go. Your house overlooks the bay until they build something tall between your house and the bay. Your house is one block from the supermarket until the supermarket goes out of business.

They can't sue the supermarket for going out of business. If there is community opposition to modifications in subway service, that's one thing, but the realtors have no case.

Degrading their property value, or so they would say.
It is a known fact today that property values near local stops are lower than at express tops, all else being equal. I read that in one of the northern Queens newspapers last month.

It doesn't matter. If a private entity has the right to do something that reduces home values, why shouldn't the government, which has much more power than a private entity?

The homeowners in NJ angry about losing their view and/or home value: these are not the realtors that we are discussing, and anyway we need to see their success rate with their litigation before we can assess the legal implications.
