Extending the F train to Queens Village is not on the table.

So maybe we have the wrong table.

There is vast proof that extending the F would have demand - look at the packed buses that run from east Queens to 179th every day.

There is ample proof that the demand for a shoreline trolley is relatively low.

- Census figures as to how many people live there
- Bus utilization of lines in the area
- Utilization of the 19 subway stops that are within about 1/2 mile of the waterfront

OK, there has not been a formal study. But that doesn't mean we don't have a decent idea of how the traffic numbers would come out.
