Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Fri Jan 8 18:42:06 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 33rd Street on Fri Jan 8 15:34:37 2010. 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.I was RESPONDING to a thread that said the M/V would not have an east side connection. But BRoadway-Lafayette is going to have a full connection to Bleecker St. The M/V (an Eastern Division train) will stop at Broadway-Lafayette as the next station after Essex St. Uhm, sounds like the Eastern Division has something to do with Broadway-Lafayette....this topic, and the POST I was responding to. Apology accepted. Here are ridership figures on the L line (as of 2008): I know, isn't that what I said, that the line is busier south of (closer to the city) side of Myrtle and Wyckoff. What's your point? 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. Uhm, I know that. What does that have to do with what I said? I SAID (if you reread my post), that this has NOTHING to do with "getting L riders to take the M", and that the new line is IRRELEVANT to L riders on the busiest part of the line, on the city side of Myrtle/Wyckoff. That part of the line is OVERBURDENED. It is OVERBURDENED WORSE with M line riders abandoning their line at Wuckoff, and cramming onto the ALREADY busiest part of the L LINE, as all those stations, already busring at the seams, don't need M riders making it even more busy. So YES, it is HIGHLY relevant to the M line. HIGHLY. This plan keeps more of them ON THEIR TRAIN upstairs, instead of them abandoning it at Myrtle/Wyckoff. The rant you went on about "concentration" of people along the L line is the thing that's "irrelevant" to this discussion, aside from saying what I ALREADY SAID, that the busiest part of the L line is on the city side of Myrtle/Wyckoff...and I SAID we want to keep M trains away from that if we can....and on their own train. THAT is how it will alleviate the L, it has NOTHING to do with grabbing any of the L riders away from the L, only the M riders away from the L. |
