Understandable.

However, the needs of the Many, outweigh the needs of the few.

The IBX will serve passengers, from the Upper New York Bay Sunset Park/Bay Ridge area, across town heading east.
The line will cross several subway routes, several neighborhoods underserved by both subway and buses.

It will pass through neighborhoods that lack any rail service at all.. and according to the demographics.. the link will benefit thousands.

Also,it will redirect some traffic, usually east to westbound riders during the morning, to east to north west.

This will draw some riders from the usual travel patterns,to another way to reach their destination.

There are areas within Queens that this line will pass through, that hasn't seen any passenger rail service since the LIRR discontinued service on the Montauk line.

Also,there are areas that never had rail service like south east Brooklyn.

I am 100 percent behind the line.
It won't inconvenience anyone,increases the rail coverage in two boroughs, and adds to the service provided today by the Brooklyn Queens Crosstown subway.

Also, the route will add another station on Myrtle Ave in Ridgewood,saving time and trouble.. removing dependency on solo bus service.
The route will HAVE THIS EXACT SAME EFFECT at several key areas that it passes through.

As a matter of fact,ENY station complex is being prepared for the new route, with new passenger entryways,new ADA upgrades, and a new separate entry for J/Z and L lines.

The Only thing I have reservations about, is the use of LRTs, instead of "regular" subway cars.

However, the use of LRT railcars presents a unique opportunity for expansion of said services

Capable of Street running, the line could combine bus and subway type service into one.
Utica Ave wouldn't have to be a "subway line".
It Could be an extension of the IBX,both East and west North and South.
