Posted by AlM on Mon May 24 08:26:06 2021, in response to Re: MTA Metro-North Railroad Penn Station Access - The new station locations and track maps/diagrams, posted by Charles G on Sun May 23 21:50:48 2021. What isn't very good?- The ability to walk there from anywhere except one section of Co-op City? I think we're all agreed on that, but only Joe seems to consider that a fatal flaw. - The ability to run a bus there from anywhere other than Co-op City? Mostly agreed, though it looks like a bus could come from Gun Hill Road and exit onto Pelham Parkway, which might be hard to make into a useful route. But again, is that such a serious flaw? It seems like the ability to serve all of Co-op City with just a short bus ride is already worthwhile for the access it provides to jobs in the New Rochelle to Stamford corridor. And express buses are slower than trains. Some people will use it to get to Manhattan, just like Fordham, BG, Williamsbridge, Woodlawn, Wakefield, Marble Hill, Spuyten Duyvil, and Riverdale are used for that purpose, despite cheaper alternatives. Riverdale and Spuyten Duyvil aren't exactly easy stations to get to either. |
