Posted by Union Tpke on Wed Mar 13 06:41:21 2019 100 Days & 100 Nights: From Astoria to Lower Manhattan and Back: 100 Days & 100 Nights From Astoria to Lower Manhattan and Back: The latest New York City Transit Riders Council (NYCTRC) report, 100 Days and 100 Nights, documents a daily commute from Astoria to Lower Manhattan to better understand the true rider experience. For more than 200 AM and PM peak hour trips, our rider recorded many of the same frustrations seen every day throughout the system delays caused by signal problems and slow track speeds, and overcrowding on trains, platforms and stairwells.Over the course of a year, we compared our riders experience to NYC Transits real-time data feeds to capture both the larger context and the improvements that have been made through the Subway Action Plan (SAP) and the Save Safe Seconds campaign. In addition to capturing these improvements, the report includes recommendations in the context of the Fast Forward plan. It underscores the importance of taking the next critical steps to identify funding and put the plan in place not just for this trip, but for the entire system and its 5.5 million daily riders. |

That's a really cool station diagram they have there for Lex / 59th. Anybody know where similar diagrams for other stations can be found? |

Overcrowded platforms and trains have plagued the system literally since the day after it opened in 1904. |

Alternative 1 would be amazing. It would eliminate the merge at 34th, would increase service on Second Avenue and to Astoria. |

How Astoria? (All of the other stuff you mentioned I see).Astoria would just go from N/W to 2x W ("W1"/"W2"), right? Meanwhile, this plan would require extra trainsets. Basically you would now have 5 lines operating on Broadway: N, Q, R, W1, and W2. The R reliability would be slightly increased by not having to wait for trains crossing north of 34th St. Perhaps that combined with being given some sort of priority over the W at the 11th St cut can make it a mostly reliable route again (it would still have to potentially wait for the M to merge to/from the E at Queens Plaza, both ways). |
