Posted by Chris R16/R2730 on Mon Mar 20 14:06:54 2006, in response to Re: Culver shuttle question, posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Mon Mar 20 13:59:48 2006. The old Culver shuttle route didn't really need any service at Fort Hamilton (it was a very short distance from the West End station with the same name), but the 13th Ave station would have probably been well utilized. I could see the old shuttle structure restored without Fort Hamilton Parkway included (like Dean St. on the Franklin). The real usefulness of this route would have been the connection between the F line and the old BMT. The 4th Ave/9th St. arrangement sucks and often forces you to ride ahead and backtrack. (like someone having to get from 18th Ave/Culver to 36th St/4th Av). Daily ridership may have decreased to 1,000 on the old shuttle at the end, but a restored structure featuring thru service to Manhattan and headways shorter than a 1 track shuttle allow would have definatley increased patronage. Alas, we'll never know. |
