Posted by David of Broadway on Thu Mar 31 09:49:36 2005, in response to Re: List of crossovers/unders, posted by Howard Fein on Thu Mar 31 09:10:32 2005. I never understood why the designated northbound-to-southbound transfer point was 79th rather than 72nd. Neither one had a crossover, but the transfer at 72nd could have been done without GO transfers and without requiring passengers to cross a busy street. And for while, the designated southbound-to-northbound transfer point was 59th, even though 66th has a crossunder.One weekend in 2001 or 2002, northbound trains ran express from 72nd to 96th and southbound trains ran express from 72nd to Times Square. The service advisories stated that passengers trying to reach those trains from local stops should backtrack at 66th (or 59th) and 79th, respectively. When the 1 is cut back to 215th for a GO, there is no way to reverse direction without paying again. If you realize that you're going to miss your appointment in the Bronx because of the shuttle bus, so you give up and go back home, you still have to pay a second fare for your return trip. |
