My experience has been between 8 and 9 I have found that the F trains coming into RI from Queens are the most crowded causing Islanders to let one or two trains go by.Those us traveling with kids are not keen about shoving our kids in and we have seen others, some even other Islanders, show no care when our kids are there. |

You really can't just be moving things around.IF the Broadway Local were relegated to 60th Street Tunnel, then Astoria becomes a LOCAL route. The Local route uses the Montague Tunnel which is Local on Fourth Avenue. In other words: The Broadway Local *MUST* to to 95th Street if we are to avoid extra switching. The Broadway Express will use the 63rd Street Tunnel, for to switch LCL / EXP at this point, or any point for that matter, will require extra switching. So regardless of what you call them: The Broadway Local runs from Astoria to Ft. Hamilton. So regardless of what you call them: The Broadway Expresses have access only to 63rd Street and the Bridge Lines. Thus the (Q) train, which runs 24/7 does Coney Island to 125th Street on the 2nd. Now where does the (N) Train go? Well, it runs on Sea Beach, it is a Fourth Avenue Express, it bypasses DeKalb, and goes over the bridge. Now where can it go? It cannot end at 57th Street: that will no longer be a terminal. It cannot go to 60th Street unless you start playing with those switches again. So it goes to 63rd Street, which after all is where the Broadway Express goes, then it is defacto on Queens Boulevard. From there it can be either local or express. But having absconded with the (R) train, the (N) then has to replace that. The (N) train remains a Coney Island based service. The (R) remains a Queens based service, they just go out of service at 57th Street and dead heads to Jamaica via 60th Street, probably on the express tracks. Probably the equipment of the (N) and (R) trains might be fungible, and float between the lines, with some trains using either yard. ROAR |

This is just a taste of what we ALL deal with..Sorry,but the best thing you can do is ask for a service increase[sight if any].. The F runs 15tph[reduced from 18 because of the V],and if you can get on the train THEN..[with 15 trains between 8-9]you WON'T be getting on at all. |

It best o just leave thing well enough alone..or eliminate the R service and replace it with something else..like a route from the Brighton..The point being ANY LINE from 95th st will have this problem..unless it routed to the IND in the North..whether it Uptown[which would be a good idea sending a train thur 6th avenue]... Well, I suppose the B train could run to 95th St and the R train to Brighton Beach, but I don't see Brighton Express riders liking that much! |

How does this put more trains on Queens Boulevard?Does the (N) run more trains than the (R)? Granted the (R) needs more service. If all of the (R) trains remained assigned to and serviced in Jamaica, and all of the (N) trains remained assigned to and serviced in CI, then how could there be too many trains in Jamaica. And if you switched them one for one to the opposite terminals, then the crowding would also be unchanged. Yes there will be a few more man hours running trains to the yards, that is a cost that could be borne with. The advantages are clear: No switching of tracks in Manhattan. No switching of tracks in Downtown Brooklyn, where is the mucho crowded tracckages, this in turn translates into faster rides and greater tph. ROAR |

If the (N) or (R) were to go via 63rd St tunnel, the Manhattan-bound train would still have to switch in front of the post-SAS(Q) at 63rd and the Queens-bound would switch in front of the (F). Your clean switch levers would still get filthy. It's a lot more simple for the (N) to switch in front of the (Q) at 34th like it does now. |

There's room on the local tracks for more trains on Queens Blvd. The problem is how the terminals are operated at Forest Hills and Jamaica into those terminals.Jamaica Center seems like it should have been a very efficient terminal, but for the fact that they look to have put the switches in the wrong place. So I think local trains could be added, even to the R/V presently but for the difficulties at Forest Hills and Jamaica. |

There are lines that are more crowded and people deal with it. RIers are lucky to have had twelve years or so of non-crowded trains and it's not like they didn't know that the 63rd St. connector would eventually be completed.As for people not showing care for kids during rush, it's a worldwide problem! Not just RI. What can you do? Unless RIers get stronger political power or invest their own money, MTA will spend the money where it's more needed. You need some Mr. Big Shot move to the Island. (Well, not too BIG or you'll end up with just an expensive ferry service to Pier 11) :) |

PATHman - I meant to ask this when you posted back in October. By what definition is the F line "more than adequate" for Roosevelt Island? And at what point does it not be adequate? What do you base your response on?The station opened when there were say 8000 people on the Island and there are now 12,000 with construction adding 5 more buildings pushing that number up another projected 2000. My numbers are estimates but they are in the ballpark. At what point is a line no longer adequate for the ridership base? |

I sympathize and agree regarding F train conditions.I disagree with the blogger, though in that gaining access to other subway lines should not be more difficult than the LIRR. More expensive, perhaps, because the LIRR access could be right from the current station. But I think creating an "in-fill station" on the Broadway Line (R train) would be very good, assuming the tunnel isn't at some incline under the island. If you create a station on the 53rd St line, that would offer good access to the V and E train. I the peak direction, the E is a string of sardine tins, so forget getting on the train unless it's not rush hour. On the other hand, you could get from Roosevelt Island to Queens on the E, anti-peak direction. It's worth discussing with MTA. |

"There's no housing at 53rd St on RI."There's housing on RI. People need subway service. They find their way to the currenty station. The 53rd St line station would be more convenient, closer than the F station for many RI residents. "Ave C on the L would have far more demand than such a station, and be far cheaper to build, and save the MTA a ton of money in the number of 14th St buses it's running, and the MTA isn't even considering that one."

I wasn't here when the original thread occurred, but I noticed no one has mentioned something useful in particular for your situation:During the morning rush hour (last I remembered from earlier this decade), they will put in at 71/Continental several F trains. These trains will not only have space, but sometimes actually have seats when leaving Roosevelt Avenue. Roosevelt Island is the 4th stop on those runs, vs a train all the way from 179th st. What could be useful is if the schedule for those trains was revealed to Roosevelt Island residents. While not as glamorous as a new station or increased service, if you knew at 7:45 AM and 8:15 AM there would be a train with seats, and could plan your morning around that, it would be helpful, no? |

I'd be curious to see if they could send the Q to 179 during rush hours via express - the whole way, even past Continental (ie stopping at 63rd/Lex, RI, 21st/QBridge, Roosevelt, Continental, Union Tpk, Parsons Blvd, and 179). Two trains can turn at 179, and this would just be a temporary helpful measure until Phase I of SAS is complete. A final decision would then made regarding whether or not another RI stop is feasible.Another option for down the (rail)road, if this service becomes popular, could be running the W to Astoria (it would run weekends now, obviously), the N over the route described above, the R stays to Continental, and the Q goes up SAS. This would entirely eliminate the need for the N to switch over at 57th St. to the local track to access the 60th St. tunnel (because without the Q terminating at 57, the N AND Q can run through to their destinations). The only problems with all of the above though include 3 routes using the express tracks in Queens, and problems with weekend/late night cutbacks. The Q needs to serve Brighton. The N needs to serve Sea Beach, but would be redundant in Queens during offpeak times and now has nowhere to relay with the Q a through train at 57. The W needs to serve Astoria, and the R is necessary in Bay Ridge and as the Queens Boulevard local especially with the V not running weekends. But running all four services isn't very cost effective. Additionally, the express tracks east of Continental can't be used to store trains if the N is through them. So there's clearly problems with it, but what the hell, I'll throw it out there anyway... |

Slow down there, wouldn't want to actually make posts that are based on real knowledge/facts.
