"Such a circuitous route strongly suggests that something like a light rail link or a dedicated bus corridor would be more efficient."It won't and the tracks and switches are there for such a service. I moved to bensonhurst (near 71th street station) 2 years ago and the mass transit option to get to sheepshead bay are terrible. I own a car but will take mass transit if it makes sense. The subway is currently set up to take people to the city and not to any other part of brooklyn. Why not run the West end and the Brighton as a loop. The tracks are there. The manahattan destination is the same plus it adds extra transit options to brooklyn riders. To take the bus from the west end area to the brighton areas is a long slow ride that no one except the poor would take. To take the B4 from 16th ave to sheepshead bay station is 35-45 min plus a long wait at times. By train it is 15-20 min max. Yes I can change at stillwell but that is a royal pain and you miss the connection half the time plus unless you are able bodied it is a lot of steps. |
