Posted by Wallyhorse on Sat Jan 14 17:55:42 2012, in response to Re: Franklin Avenue Shuttle/Idea for extension to Myrtle Avenue El, posted by italianstallion on Sat Jan 14 15:14:06 2012. The idea would be this:The (B) and (Q) would reverse weekday roles on the Brighton Line, with the (Q) becoming a full-time 24/7 express line to Brighton Beach while the (B) on weekdays is the local to Coney Island. The new line (which I would designate as a "Black V" train) would operate from Metropolitan Avenue-Coney Island as a 24/7 replacement for the Franklin Avenue shuttle and as a second Brooklyn local when the (B) is running and the sole local when the (B) is not. This would also give Coney Island and Brighton riders looking for lower Manhattan alternatives to the having to switch to/from the (Q), in the case of the 2/3/4/5 at Botanic Garden and the C (A overnights) at Franklin Avenue without having to switch to the current shuttle at Prospect Park. This line would also eliminate the need for the current (M) overnight/weekend shuttle since it would be a 24/7 line operating the entire shuttle route of the (M). This line to me would be very popular on weekends with people looking for Coney Island in particular while also giving Brighton riders express service at all times. |
