Since you rarely ride the system by your own admission, you don't realise that the ridership does not like to divert from their established way of getting to/from work.Overcrowded or not, they like the L since once they get off along 14th St. to make their transfers, they are close to where they are going, be it a few stops north or south, east side or west side. They are not interested in traveling downtown then back uptown even if it's on the same train. Plus the L has more frequent service than the M. This thru service all you guys are so in love with gives the riders ZERO connections to the east side, where most are traveling to. The L's ridership is heaviest north of Myrtle Wycoff, those already riding aren't giving up their seats to change for the M/V upstairs. Other L riders will not backtrack to wait on a cold/snowy/rainy/windy elevated platform. It just kills you guys that this stretch of trackage isn't used for regular service. |
