They have to re-think that idea. There's no way for the (Q) to terminate at 21st Street. If its' going to be sent back through 63rd street, then it has to be through-rotued towards Jamaica.Then, there's the issue of slipping in (Q)'s between the (E)'s and (F)'s. With the express already at alleged maximum capacity, this would not work properly with cutting tph on all three express lines. Turning it on the local won't be good either, as the relay/fumigation procedures at Continental are too slow, for the local service to function at maximum capacity. As much as I agree with your situation about surging population on Roosevelt Island that can't be adequately handled by the (F)--this is especially true during peak hours, which can be very crush-loaded at times--a more suitable solution would be work out something that doesn't compromise current service levels on the Queens Blvd. Line |
