Posted by SMAZ on Mon Jun 16 02:02:29 2008, in response to Re: Keeping old South Ferry station open for the Lexington line after the 1 moves to its new station, posted by Michael549 on Sun Jun 15 13:49:10 2008. Imagine that the non-rush #5's and late night #6 trains operated to South Ferry. Again there are 30 and 60 minute waits for the ferry. If I am on a #4 train and it has arrived at Bowling Green with 8 minutes to spare to get the boat, I will be walking to the ferry terminal. It would make no sense to wait at the Bowling Green station for a #5 or #6 train to go one stop - when that would mean a 30 or 60 minute wait for the next boat.While I agree that the TA has the facilities and equipment to create a Ferry shuttle, and that it is a possibility after the new terminal opens. I would prefer it if those stations were inter-connected so that there is an "all-weather" passageway to the Bowling Green station. Just my thoughts. Mike I agree with the logic of your post. However if one happens to be on the (5) or (6) train rather then the (4) in the same scenarios that you described and during the hours proposed by Wallyhorse, then staying on that train to an exit-only station at SF would make sense and save more time then walking from Bowling Green or switching from the (6) to the (4) at Brooklyn Bridge during late nights. Probably just enough time to catch the boat. |
