Posted by PATHman on Tue Jul 3 19:53:49 2007, in response to Re: The (V) Still Looking For Love And Respect, posted by Terrapin Station on Tue Jul 3 19:04:21 2007. I've taken the V before (including one time when I was half sick and desperately needed to sit down). I will admit that it is a fairly fast local. Still, three express trains passed the V. It is not a bad idea to take the local during the PM rush hour when you're not in a hurry (In fact, V train ridership is significantly higher during the PM rush). However, during the AM rush hour those extra minutes can mean the difference between getting a coffee and bagel or not having breakfast. They can also be the difference between catching a connection and missing it (and trust me, if your trip has multiple transfers one missed connection can screw you). However, no matter what I say I'll hear the same "The V train is the greatest line" rhetoric. So tell you what, I'll ride the V train end to end after you stop taking Metro-North and instead take the 1 train straight to Midtown (no transfer at 96st). You'll then realize why people prefer the express over the local. |
