I think the only way the general public could obstruct a plan is if you get large numbers and I don't think we have them here. As long as people from the Rockaways can get to Kings Plaza and the Junction the vast majority are probably happy.But sometimes public opinion or no public opinion you have to weigh the pros and cons. There is a reason why the original Q35 mini-express was made into an all-local. I'm not sure exactly what it was but apparently there was some reason for it all the time. Just reversing it and changing it back suggests there was something wrong and it seems only a small handful of people at MTAB know what it is. I am extremely familiar with this area (if you can't tell already) and I have experienced up to this year Q35s beating out B41 limiteds from Kings Hwy to Nostrand (usually because the B41 LTD takes 2 lights to load at Kings Hwy). If this new idea saves even 60 seconds per trip I would be suprised. The one way MTAB can make it up to me: get the combination of this route with the Q22 done fast, and with whatever the new number is have a limited over the entire route and a local over the entire route and get rid of the limited on off-hours. I would say something like this: Local (All times): Current Q22 route Far Rockaway to B169 and then pre 3/4/07 Q35 local to Nostrand Limited (Not all times): Current Q22 route Far Rockaway to Seagirt/Rockaway Freeway then non-stop along Rockaway Freeway to B 116/Newport, stop there, and then non-stop (maybe even skipping B169) to Kings Plaza, then stops at transfer points only (Fillmore, Kings Hwy, Ave K?, Nostrand) I'm sorry but I'm angry over this, lol. Please bear with me, lol. |
