Posted by RonInBayside on Thu Oct 19 23:59:41 2006, in response to Re: Bay Ridge NYCT Line Diagram (Was: Re: Flatbush Avenue Brooklyn College extension), posted by J trainloco on Thu Oct 19 23:43:05 2006. "Most of the crowding on the E results from a high # of transferees at the last stop"Meaning to the buses? "Extending the line would not result in a large number of new riders." Iwould disagree strongly with that. Buses coming from the periphery of Queens fill up pretty quickly. he extended subway would attract riders who fill up buses now. Extend the E subway to Springfield Blvd and you may have at lkeast half the seats filled, if not more, by the time the train arrives at Jamaica Center. Then watch it fill up at Jamaica Center and have even more sardines join it at Sutphin Blvd. That's the good news. The bad news is the train still has to visit Union Turnpike, Forest Hills and Roosevelt Blvd. Do you think the R160 can be fitted with extra seats on the roof? :0) |
