"That's my point:My way of using the old SF station after the 1 moves to the new one would be this: RUSH HOURS ONLY: Shuttle train between Bowling Green and South Ferry, using the current OUTER loop station that is still currently the terminal for the 1 train. OVERNIGHT HOURS: 6 train extended from Brooklyn Bridge to "old" South Ferry (outer loop) station. ALL OTHER TIMES: 5 train terminates at South Ferry outer loop station instead of Bowling Green (when not going to Brooklyn) EXCEPT when the 2/5 swap routes in one direction." Do you realize that there is no local demand for any of the above service options because South Ferry is only about 1,000' from Bowling Green? That probably explains why the shuttle service that once existed between those stations was discontinued, and no one down here is demanding that it be reinstated. Also, running a full length train to South Ferry will reintroduce the same problems that motivated the MTA to replace it. I think that a better use of MTA money would be to buy pink bunny suits for train operators, or to connect the D train to the Cyclone in Coney Island, but that's just my opinion. |
