"Extending the E beyond its current terminal would help these people you mention, but the vast majority of riders would be headed to points beyond Jamaica."Meaning the people who come into the city in the AM and leave in the PM. If the subway extension helps shorten the bus ride, then you've sbstituted a less expensive tranport vehicle (operating cost) instead of the more expensive one, so it can be of benefit that way. (Ditto for the Hillside branch). However, the Hillside subway branch is a peripheral supplement for the reverse commute, and does not serve Brooklyn riders (few riders would make the full length run to 179 St from southern Brooklyn). So the reverse commute to Jamaica CBD is pretty exclusively a Jamaica Line function. |
