Bay Ridge Express

Wouldn't making Woodhaven express crowd the express trains even more?

What are those "shuttle buses" that run from Grasmere to who knows where? Saw some on Saturday at around 3:30-6:00 PM, notably there are passengers inside and they look practically identical to MTA buses. I saw some going along Fingerboard Rd and Clove Rd.

There's a detailed report from the comptroller's office (2017) listing bus route frequencies in the AM and evening. Note some parts may be outdated. https://comptroller.nyc.gov/wp-content/uploads/documents/Bus_Route_Profiles_2017.pdf Manhattan, on average, seem to run 9bph during the AM rush and 4 bph during the evening, which is the same as the citywide average. So the AVERAGE average would be somewhere in the middle.

Gaps in train service hmm... does this mean... we will get a to fill in gaps in service in Brooklyn? 🙃

Why do some B/Os drive insanely slow? I get that sometimes it's with scheduling, but on the B9 today there was one b/o who almost drove at walking speed with no cars in front of him and then the B9 behind him managed to catch up, creating bunching. Although weekend B9 service in general is atrocious. Only reason I haven't started taking an uber yet is cuz at least the bus is only S2.75,

They should lower the prices in general. IMO, if we take the "express bus with a bathroom" analogy I'd advocate for the fare to be $5-7 (just like the Atlantic Ticket). Don't think it should be $2.75 like the comptroller says but I wouldn't pay close to $10 for it either.

So is that why the person caught by their own clothing was found in the East River tunnel?

They take practically the same amount of time, so it wouldn't be necessary. And people would take a trip costing $2.75 rather than $8.75 any day of the week.

Guess it will have to be both now https://www.amny.com/transit/mta-subway-elevators-lawsuit-1.28162973

Q53 Beach 90-Woodside takes about ~70 min. It would actually be faster if he took the LIRR from Jamaica to Woodside, instead of the and then the which would be 50-70 minutes depending on how long you'd have to wait. But still better to take the and transfer to the Q53 instead of taking the , AirTrain, and .

I have two questions based on what everyone said: 1. Has the studied Broadway deinterlining yet? 2. When will the 36-38 St yard be used for revenue trains? (And if possible that the could be stored there, would they move the service to Astoria?)

I didn't propose it, @LaGuardia Link N Tra did (unless you specifically mean the replacement segment I was talking about)

It does seem to have a parallel to a lot of the Q58 already, but given that the Q58 doesn't directly go to Queens Center, it might work. The route itself though, would be a bit short. Perhaps it could be used to get rid of some part of the Q38 loop or whatnot.

I would say officially, it's viewed as a subway but has the look and feel of a railroad (not like MNRR and LIRR but somewhere lower quality)

Well yea, there has to have been, in devising all the different ways to connect Staten Island with Manhattan, but these ideas will keep looming and cycling...

I would say yes (Staten Island Railway). It even acts more like a railroad than a subway.

One thing to note is that specifically Bay Ridge pols and residents are asking for this. The is not a good indication of ridership levels on the because the is the only line to serve Bay Ridge, while the all serve 59-Atlantic

I had this pipe dream in mind but had no idea how to implement it because of all those services on DeKalb, and also the fact that some riders would probably not happy that their train would go via Montague, but if the were to run express in Manhattan, this is the way to go.

This article has so much Cuomo propaganda....

Me personally, I say call it the , call it an extended , a or a , even a ... as long as we have some sort of reliable service, I'm fine with it (although admittedly it would be cool to see a Nassau line run there).

With OMNY rolling out, it will be interesting to see how student metrocards will be applied onto it...

I should have been more clear. I wrote "West End/Sea Beach" because whether the new would go to West End (to 9 Av, Bay Pkwy, etc.) or Sea Beach (Bay Pkwy, 86 St, etc.) would be dependent on the communities there and what they would want to have. Since there are some trains that already goes to Sea Beach during rush hours though, I'd say to have the go to West End and reinstate that 36 St and merge, with the still running over West End. But like I said in an earlier post, we can reroute trains all we want but if we improve our infrastructure that's when the will really shine. I know some Sea Beach residents that are disgusted with the and it's shameful lol.

What they didn't mention is the number of falling objects have increased! 🤔

I came up with this: Bay Ridge-Essex St 4 Av Local (via Montague) Nassau St Local Sea Beach-SAS Sea Beach Local 4 Av Express (via Bridge) Broadway Express 2 Av Local West End/Sea Beach-Astoria West End/Sea Beach Local 4 Av Local (via Montague) Broadway Local Astoria Local Whitehall-Forest Hills Broadway Local Queens Blvd Local same This way, even if the doesn't go to Coney Island it can still easily access Jamaica yard, and the should be able to access Coney Island yard easily as well. The troubling thing here is the will need to have some extra mileage... I don't know the specifics but a lot of people have been suggesting the to Nassau as a split , how it will access a yard (likely Coney Island) is uncertain. However, its route will be short so it might not be that bad.

Yes, but only in the long run
