Reviving the shuttle makes no sense; any peak-hour service to the SF Loop station makes no sense, given the expense of building the new terminal. For off-hour trains, however, it makes some sense; but only for the 5, which ALREADY makes the loop, but does not stop. Crossing 6 trains into the existing Lex service south of Brooklyn Bridge overly complicates train movements. Getting to the shuttle platform at Bowling Green from either of the mainline platforms, especially in a rush crowd, can take as much time as simply heading for the exit, and walking to the boat. |
