During rush hours, when the subway is most crowded, many if not most residents of the Bronx, Queens, and Brooklyn who are on the subway are riding to or from Manhattan, while most residents of Manhattan who are on the subway remain within Manhattan.So a system expansion in Manhattan will probably attract lots of riders from all boroughs, while a system expansion in another borough will attract primarily riders from that borough. I'd love to see an extension of the IRT to Sheepshead Bay, or, ideally, just beyond. It would make my commute much easier. But I would be in a small minority of non-Brooklyn residents who ride the extension, while Manhattan residents would probably make up a minority, or only a slight majority, of passengers on a new line in Manhattan. |
