"Brooklyn is very well served by subway lines, on the whole. Complaints that Brooklyn doesn't get subway projects are just silly prattle.Take a look at a subway map...how is the area south of the junction along that corridor and to the east through East Flatbush and Canarsie and into the Starett City area well served by rapid transit...when I was a kid I lived on Church Avenue and Schenectady and had to pay for 2 fares...when I was a teen ager and lived in Canarsie and had to pay 2 fares on the damn B6 bus to get to the junction or to Rockaway Parkway.....there has been no attempt, despite the fact they are populous areas, to remedy that situation since that 1950's bond issue which promised extensions along Nostrand Avenue and Utica Avenue. Today, everything is for Manhattan....nobody gives a damn about the outer boroughs, especially intra borough transportation....if I'm heading to downtown Brooklyn from anywhere in Mill Basin, it's a bus (sometimes two buses) to the subway...why don't I deserve rapid transit....nobody can deny that Manhattan always gets preferential treatment in most everything.... |
