Through service from Ditmas Ave. was a waste starting in Oct., 1954

Why was it any less of a waste than before the IND connection opened? The people at 13th and Fort Hamilton still needed to get to work. IIRC, the West End kept TWO rush hour services well into the 1960's (Broadway T, Nassau St. TT).

The City did it's best to make this remaining element of the BMT Culver line as undesirable as possible. Once the City got it's IND route to Coney Island, riders using these 2 stations were basically told to go to hell, slowly, over a period of 2 decades.
