The ONLY reason for this is all except a few of the subway lines travel though Manhattan..No one is questioning that fact.. But the one glaring problem here is the outer boro's lack of connectivity while Manhattan has it in abundance. Case in point...Downtown Brooklyn has EVERY subway line[minus a few] from Manhattan crossing each other at one point..yet to this very day you CAN'T tranfer between the BMT/IRT to the IND..without leaving the system,without a Unlimited Metrocard. Also...what about issue in the outer Boro's that NEED extending like Utica Avenue...Nostrand..Jamaica Center..Flushing..? What about areas that need more service like Northeren Brooklyn..? What about better connections..line a South Brooklyn IND connection to the Brighton line..or a connection to the West End line? These little additions will reduce service over the Manhattan Bridge..make the Rutgers st tunnel MORE usefull.. How about a cross queens trunk line? How about a Cross Bronx subway? All these thing take PRESIDENCE over ANY subway in Manhattan since they will do EXACTLY What a SAS would do..but do it BETTER. The LEXINGTON is crowded? We know this...but so is the QUEENS BLVD LINE... No subways over on the WEST SIDE...? So what...we need one on Styvasant avenue..Utica avenue...Nostrand avenue..Jamaica avenue..and MANY OTHER PLACES in NYC. So to all of you preferred Manhattanites..think first about who needs what..then comment. |
