B Train Logs the Worst On Time Performance

Posted by heypaul on Tue Feb 25 21:11:30 2025

Could this be the result of B & Q mostly running local in Brooklyn during the Church Ave station construction? Although the Q is doing much better. Do they know that the B doesn't run on the weekend?

Interestingly, the 42nd St Shuttle, Franklin Shuttle, Rockaway Shuttle and Polo Grounds Shuttle have the highest on time performance.

B has 3 line merges (Q, D, C).

All that reverse merging is a bad idea.

What do you mean by a reverse merge?

The B and C lines are probably the best lines.

If you randomly check you'll see there are no delays or gaps in service.

Compare to the R line, especially in Queens during PM rush-hour, there are constant 15 minute waits for the R train. It's a daily thing.

Weekends? Same thing. R service in Queens is horrendous. They need to schedule a few trains to turn at Whitehall. But they won't and can't without increasing budget.

That and the insane amount of flagging that was on the Brighton Line...

The Bravo is basically Normal now Express in Brooklyn.

Bravo Crews are happy not being plugged behind a slow azzed Quincy Train as well..

Today was the first ride on the B, since it is back to running express in Brooklyn. It was a real kick. The ride n/b was really fast and the stretch from Sheepshead Bay and Newkirk seemed especially smooth and quiet. It's great to have it back, especially after the last 5 years of running local while the work on Church Ave station was proceeding.

Months? Years? What's the difference?
