Posted by Q23 on Mon May 24 13:04:56 2021, in response to Re: MTA Metro-North Railroad Penn Station Access - The new station locations and track maps/diagrams, posted by Spider-Pig on Mon May 24 10:55:44 2021. MN would be faster to get into Manhattan from that lower section of Co-Op City, but that's basically it. You only have the transfers to the West Side lines at Penn Station, although the (E) serves the 53rd Street corridor. But there's no transfers from the railroad to the subway, so that means an additional fare, and multiple transfers (whereas the BxM7 is a cheaper ride, and a one seat ride). There may be a small group of current riders who may see some benefit, but it really depends where people are trying to go.The BxM7 caters to those going to the East Side/Midtown and Harlem, so the MN setup would not be ideal for the vast majority of them, especially those in northern Co-op City. The BxM7 is just as frequent or more frequent than local bus service (including during off-peak periods), and it also serves Einstein Loop directly (which local buses don't). |
