No, they are not going to alter the park just to add a new pair of platforms.

 

The B D are below the Path tunnels and there's no way you are going to remove a fairly useful express run when you have the BDFM making the same stops from 34th to 47th and W4th and B'way-Lafayette. You don't need 14th st, not to mention the F and M are enough.

 

I'm not even gonna try to understand that G idea.

Ohhh well I tried and I also agree with your second statement, it doesnt make sense to have another 3 consecutive express stops with only one local stop, hell if that was to happen might as well make ALL of the 6th Avenue Line stops interchange stops (note I didnt use express for that)

I rather build a 28th Street Station along the Eighth Avenue Line. The , and would stop here. During late nights the , and will stop here.

Problem, the trains are too long to build the station, thats why the subway was even LUCKY to build Beverley Road and Courtelyou Road on the in Brooklyn , because when the first car on the train hits Courtelyou, the last one is just leaving Beverley. Thats why they cant take that chance on the and since its two local trains, same thing with the and on 6th Avenue.

This isn't possible with the current track layout. The uptown and downtown lines are stacked along the park. There's no way to get the or to stop at 96th.

 

In other news, my infill stations:

Avenue T (

Neptune Ave (

3rd St

7th Ave South

Tillary St

Atlantic Ave

Well I was thinking on the and on Central Park West at 96th Street , just dig out part of the wall on the express tracks, add connectors to all platforms, and BAM express station , no switching involved, the only drawback, not a cross-platform interchange.

While the does use full-length trains of 75 footers (R44s, R46s, R68/As), it uses short-length trains of 60 footers (R32s, R38s, R40s, and R42s) on regular basis as now (just like the BMT Eastern Division).

 

Well the doesnt use R44s, those are only for the SIR, or R68/As those are for , R38s are retired anyways, R40 or R42s are for the , it only uses R46s in the summer and R32s other times so that was a flaw in that statement, first of all. Second of all Im saying that the R179s should go to those lines because they seem like they are in desperate need of improvement, Im just saying.

I don't know since there's only 40 R179s in sets of five while the rest are in sets of four...

 

Most likely for the and trains

C yes, B D, almost certainly no.

 

How come?

Hopefully these go to the or I want to see improvement on those trains forget the others

Hold on, let me just...

 

OK, have my anger blocker on!

 

Novel idea, but a number of problems/uncertainties:

 

1. The Triboro RX to SI idea is similar. However, it has many roadblocks as it uses Amtrak rail.

2. A route going through all 5 boros would be too long and too unreliable as a local subway route.

3. Like you said, it's at the border of fantasy because of costs. Not to be a killjoy, but dream on.

4. The current is fine as is. How would this route work using Second Avenue anyway?

 

Well I was just making a suggestion, but I do think at least the should serve Throgs Neck of the Bronx, it was proposed and still debated, Im not saying that the route serving Second Avenue solely wouldnt be good enough, I mean the and lines are already over crowded, and you dont have to get angry at me, it was just a thought.

What I think the MTA should do is make the train, become a "loop train" that goes around all 5 boroughs, including Staten Island, I think it will connect people from one borough to another especially Staten Island quicker, instead of having to wait 20-35 minutes on a ferry ride, let alone waiting another 20-35 for it to arrive, meaning on average, people wait 40-70 minutes for one ferry, either way the west side of Staten Island needs a train, the SIR only serves the east side. In the matter of the Bronx, it needs another B Division train, only the train, serves the Bronx full time, the only comes around during weekday rush hours, also Throgs Neck is in desperate need for more service, it only has the Bx40/42 and BxM9, I first thought it should go to Co-Op City, like around Bartow Avenue, but Co-Op City already has enough connections, the runs close by and there is the Bx12 +Select Bus Service+, Bx23, Bx26, Bx28, Bx29, Bx30, Bx38, Q50, and BxM7, the Bx12 +Select Bus Service+, Bx23, Bx29, and Q50 serve a connection to the train at Pelham Bay Park and the BxM7 connects to Midtown Manhattan, so it doesn't need the train, but in the Bronx, only the Q44 and Q50 bus goes to Queens, so I think the train so go from Throgs Neck to Queens, the it should go through the middle of Queens, the continue to Brooklyn, back to Staten Island, the back to Manhattan, there should be trains headed southbound from Manhattan and northbound from Manhattan to reduce waiting times, and if an additional express service should be added during rush hours, it should be added, I think this will make the city move much faster, the only problem, is that it will cost a lot of $$$, so I dont know if it will happen, but it's just a suggestion.
