And as I've mentioned in the past about this, we all know the drill. When the Q isn't running on weekends we go to the F instead of taking those damn buses. When the F isn't running people will take the D,N or Q depending on where they live. The lines are close enough together that you don't need the bus.If I lived on Ocean Parkway say, I'd walk to the Q. It isn't that far. If I need a ride I'll get a ride. If I lived on the other side of McDonald the D or N are pretty close too. Most people here don't give it a thought. And you know what else? The F goes through some of the lowest density in Brooklyn. It is the part north of Church that gets busy, that's why the F express never made sense. Why have the trains bypass the busiest stations? |

You would be surprised at how many people wait for the buses.Yes I agree, they are not needed as you outlined . Always thought they were a complete waste is money . I live a few blocks from the f and n these days . I see the bustitution game all the time . My cousin loves the overtime pay for the extra bus runs |

The old days made sense due to the Common sense approach.Three services served the South Brooklyn route during peak hours. 1) F Coney Island 2) F Kings Highway 3) GG Church Avenue. The full F line bypassed stations between Kings Hwy and Bergen St,stopping at 18th, Church and 7th Avenue. CBTC on the Culver makes little sense. It would be better utilized on a lines like the Brighton or 4th Avenue for the immediate future. However, perhaps Rolling stock Could be the culprit for the choice. Queens Blvd is going full CBTC soon, with All R160s running out of Jamaica Shops/Yards. The F short turn made all stops in Brooklyn after the GG proved insufficient to handle the ridership alone. The System Worked. The problem began with selfish ass people being too damn lazy to read What F train they were taking during the peak hour. If You boarded an Express train that skipped YOUR stop,then it's YOUR FAULT FOR NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU WERE DOING. The MTA removed the peak system between Church and Jay Because of these dumb asses. The Excuse they used was "service cuts due to low ridership". Hmm. Even when they did some so called rebuilding work during the 80s,they took away the remaining Express service. And just recently returned it after YEARS OF LOBBYING. |

If CBTC is on the RR N end of the F, installing it on the S end makes sense as CBTC equipped cars will be neeeded for all trains, no? |

It wasn’t that the GG couldn’t handle service at the lcl stations. The problem was that unlike pre BMT days when Qns lcl passengers would simply have an across the platform change from the GG to the E or F to reach Manhattan, passengers in Bkln needing Manhattan didn't have an across the platform connection at Bergen but had to go downstairs to get an F to Manhattan. To compensate for that, K/Hy Fs made all lcl stops N/O Church to give the lcl passengers direct access. |
