Russ:I am going by what I have seen in society in general in recent years. 1977 (when the shuttle was discontinued) was the beginning of a fitness craze that really took off in the early 1980's. People then didn't seem to work 60-75 hour weeks like many seem to nowadays. Now, people seem to not want to walk nearly as much, or are in a much bigger hurry, or work excessive schedules, and want things to be as convienient as possible in a way that was not even the case 4-5 years ago. By the time the new 1 station opens, this probably will be even more so than it is now, strongly suggesting to me anyway that keeping the old SF station open and using it as the terminal for Lexington line trains NOT going to Brooklyn and for a revival of the shuttle during rush hours ONLY would be the right thing. |
