YungMarxian Posted November 30, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 30, 2015 I've been trying to compile every complaint about each and every line in the MTA but I can't figure it all out. My purpose is so that a meaningful fantasy map can be drawn. Not a "wew let's draw lines wherever I feel!" map but one that would actually be worth putting the money and labor into implementing.I'll update this as new comments are made (and quote you, obviously) and I'll start off with what I ride. IRT 42nd Street Shuttle IRT Broadway-Seventh Avenue IRT Dyre Avenue IRT Eastern Parkway IRT Flushing IRT Jerome Avenue IRT Lenox Avenue IRT New Lots IRT Nostrand Avenue IRT Pelham IRT White Plains BMT Fourth Avenue BMT 63rd Street (not used!!) BMT Archer Avenue BMT Astoria BMT Brighton BMT Broadway BMT Canarsie BMT Franklin Avenue BMT Jamaica BMT Myrtle Avenue BMT Nassau Street BMT Sea Beach BMT West End- "No major problems. The West End's regular service, the , doesn't get overcrowded but it still gets pretty packed during both the AM and PM rush. This isn't an issue unless something on the Fourth Avenue line or further up lines creates a delay. Also, during the dead cold of the winter, the R68's occasionally discharge at 9th Avenue (that's the worst) and 36th Street. Not sure if this is more of a West End/Fourth Avenue issue or a Concourse yard issue. If the Broad St-Montague Tube connection ever gets repaired, maybe I'd run either the or to run West End Express to ensure that delays don't clog up the West End, but this might have crowding effects on the Fourth Avenue line." -YungMarxian IND Second Avenue (not yet!!)

YungMarxian Posted November 30, 2015 Author Share #2 Posted November 30, 2015 Too late to edit the first post again, but I want to add: I know not every issue could be fixed with a line extension, a lot of issues could be fixed by sending more trains, lengthening platforms and train sets, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted November 30, 2015 Share #3 Posted November 30, 2015 the only real issues with your mention of the return of Nassau-West End Service is that the Z does not run as much as most people think it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcb Posted November 30, 2015 Share #4 Posted November 30, 2015 IND 8 av- too many times express runs uptown. Also other should at least go to riverdale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted November 30, 2015 Share #5 Posted November 30, 2015 The Second Avenue Line will be part of the IND? Isn't it part of the ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparen of Iria Posted December 1, 2015 Share #6 Posted December 1, 2015 The Second Avenue Line will be part of the IND? Isn't it part of the ? The Second Avenue Line is an IND line built by the MTA (which continues to use the IND label for brand new lines), connected to the BMT Broadway Line by the 63rd St Line. The is simply a service - the has a history of being run on the IND 6th Avenue Line and some plans even called for it to go up Central Park West (though that obviously is not the case today).

Yeah. I think the might be a better fit. Unless you mean Nassau-West End service will badly impact nassau timing. IND 8 av- too many times express runs uptown. Also other should at least go to riverdale That seems like it's because the originates from two, sometimes three different places in queens. I always wondered why they don't hand off Lefferts to the . Also, lengthening the longest line seems like a tall order to me. I was thinking originate another service at 125th (lots of cross tracks) and use cars from the 174th yard. bring that to riverdale and maybe even make a cross bronx?? I'm not too well learned in the Bronx though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
