Yeah, they are running shuttle buses between Prospect Park and Atlantic Ave., which would be totally unnecessary if the Franklin Ave. line could handle full-length trains, or anything close to it. The buses can be avoided by using the Franklin Shuttle to Botanic Garden and the IRT to Atlantic Ave., but they don't directly say that on the service advisory because trying to fit everyone from a 10-car Q train onto a two-car shuttle train is not likely to work well. I wonder if they will increase the frequency of the shuttle train runs during that time, also how the capacity of the shuttle buses and shuttle trains compare. |
