Posted by 33rd Street on Fri Jan 8 15:34:37 2010, in response to Re: UPDATE & WHAT I THINK ... Re: ZMan, that is great news, replacing the M train with the V train., posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Fri Jan 8 14:35:50 2010. That's incorrect. Broadway-Lafayette-Bleecker is coming. I know very well, I traveled the east side for half of that time, using Union Square from the L from the M train. I am quite familiar with these lines.WTF does the Broadway-Lafayette Street/Bleecker Street have anything to do with the BMT Eastern Division? I would love to hear what you've got to say. No, the heaviest ridership is south of Myrtle Wyckoff (meaning the side closer to the city). And WHO is saying ANY of those people would be transfering to the M/V? It's irrelevant to them, but many of the M transplant WOULD forgo getting off their M trains and staying on the new M/V. This isn't about getting L people off the L, it's about keeping M people on the M at Myrtle Wyckoff and OFF the L. Here are ridership figures on the L line (as of 2008): From 8th Avenue to Myrtle-Wwckoff: 8th Avenue: 11,568,852 6th Avenue: 15,304,268 Union Square: 35,545,653 3rd Avenue: 1,825,033 1st Avenue: 6,201,745 Bedford Avenue: 6,504,331 Lorimer Street: 3,831,975 Graham Avenue: 2,727,719 Grand Street: 2,075,718 Montrose Avenue: 1,747,376 Morgan Avenue: 1,664,668 Jefferson Street: 1,569,253 DeKalb Avenue: 3,329,950 Myrtle-Wyckoff Avenues: 5,230,077 From Halsey Street to Canarsie: Halsey Street: 1,946,762 Wilson Avenue: 1,055,011 Bushwick Avenue-Aberdeen Street: 366,270 Broadway Junction: 2,937,794 Atlantic Avenue: 386,672 Sutter Avenue: 1,104,244 Livonia Avenue: 691,560 New Lots Avenue: 1,072,250 East 105 Street: 1,017,671 Canarsie-Rockaway Parkway: 3,773,940 Saying that you would want to keep M riders off the L is a irrevelant thing to say. The reason why the section from 8th Avenue to Myrtle-Wyckoff sees a lot of ridership is due to a higher consentration of people. The stations south sees a lower amount of ridership is due to a lower concentration of people living in those areas. Bill from Maspeth nailed on the head. Stop bringing up the M and V combo just because a short section of track isn't being used. Suppose if the MTA decided to server that track, what would you do? |
