Exactly:And that is not foaming at all. The ideas I think of are those I think will actually help. Maybe I'm stubborn on some, but this to me is a legitmate situation, based on people's habits. Yes, people do walk 1,000 feet or so to get to Bowling Green Station from the ferry terminal, but you have a large number of people who don't exactly want to walk that far (even if it is good exercise), especially if they have to be on their feet much of the day. Having the option of taking the shuttle between SF and BG in rush hours (especially in bad weather, when the walk between the two can not exactly be easy) and either the 5 or 6 (depending on time of day) at all other times to and from SF would be very helpful, with late nights on the 6 to SF something a lot of people who don't want to have to walk between BG and the ferry something they would appreciate, especially if some of the streets are not exactly crowded at that time. That's why I think this is worth doing once the 1 moves to the new terminal (especially since then in an emergency, the 1 could also use its old terminal). What could also be done under this setup is to have a transfer point between the old 1 platform and the new one since the new one will also have a transfer to the R/W trains as well. |
