Posted by TheGreatOne2k7 on Tue Jun 26 13:24:38 2007, in response to LION sends note to MTA: Some Subways Found Packed Past Capacity, posted by Broadway Lion on Tue Jun 26 12:22:03 2007. Of course us rail-fans would extend the Second Avenue subway north along Third Avenue in the Bronx as far as Fordham University The (T) should really be extended on Webster Avenue north of Fordham Road to replace the 200th Street, 204th Street (210th Street station could be left out though to speed up the ride) and Gun Hill Road stations [connection to (2)(5)] that were on the (8) line (this could also get some riders off the IRT who are going to the east side on the (4) and (5)). A new NYBG parking garage will be built on Webster Avenue (near 200th Street), that could be a park and ride for a new Webster Avenue subway (or elevated) station, and also an easier way for those getting to the Botanical Garden (which was there until 1973). If NYBG would go along with this idea, a Bronx Park and ride location would be created along with replacing some stations lost on Webster Avenue. This would also allow for the elimination (or reduction in service) of the Bx55 LIMITED route. Cross Bronx buses on Fordham Road and on Tremont Avenue could very nicely distribute passengers to places where more capacity exists Longer bus rides to wait longer for the IND, the CPW express had better be a lot faster to warrant all that wasted time going crosstown. The (4) is more frequent than the (A) and you are not going to convince a lot of people who live by the (4) to bus over to the (A). The East Bronx will continue to use the IRT, so the crowding will not really go away. (6) and <6> riders will continue to board the (4) and (5). The (A) also does nothing for those needing to go to the east side in midtown. |
