Forgive me if I sound like I am talking to myselfLOL :-D Forest on the M has come of age and is now a MIDTOWN line so that argument is out the window that I made in 2008. Now the M would go to the same place an extended Rockaway line route would, just from the opposite direction. This is a toughy now. I would have to think about this one. Well, then I should add up the 2010 version of those numbers. I think Atlantic Ave would be busier than 104th, but not by much. Okay, I'll use the number for 111th for that one. Well, I still don't know Whitlock that well. And it was closed for much of 2010, so I'll pick another comparison, although I think this one is a bit of an overestimate: 121st Street on the (J)(Z). The street pattern is a bit cut up by railroads, there is a good mix of housing types, but the Queens IND Express is rather too close. So here goes: 66th Avenue - Fleet Street 663,832 Metropolitan Avenue 1,124,754 Myrtle Avenue 398,834 Jamaica Avenue 760,419 Atlantic Avenue 781,872 101st Avenue 760,419 Liberty Avenue - Rockaway Blvd 1,045,413 TOTAL 5,535,543 Interestingly, it's quite a bit more: all the stations I've used as comparisons are doing relatively well. But it still only lifts it to being two-and-a-half Crosstown stations in Greenpoint, rather than two. So I still don't think these are the sorts of numbers where full-length trains and through service to Manhattan are particularly realistic. |
