    That’s because there are no subways around there.

    Exactly, That's what i wanted to say. This is the reason why Eastern Queens needs Subways.

    Buses in Manhattan, Bronx and Brooklyn (Except Flatbush) are less overcrowded compare to Buses at Desert Areas like Eastern Queens, Flatbush, Co-Op and etc.

    This is not overkill. An (R) from Astoria to Euclid only Requires a new tunnel between Whitehall and Court Street (NYTM). Doing this will increase capacity on the Fulton Street line by 50% and allow (C) trains to run Express to Lefferts Blvd or the Rockaway's. 

    While it’d be nice to have subways in outer Queens, I wouldn’t extend everything cause it’s overkill and some of these proposals are not feasible. Psersonally, I prefer these ideas: 

    (7) To Francis Lewis via Northern or a Branch to College Point. A new bus terminal will be built somewhere close to Francis Lewis (Which I’ll go more in depth later). 

    (F) to Springfield (Express between Forest Hills and 179. In order for this to work, either (M) trains would need to be extended to 179, the Queens Bypass would need to be built, or Queens Blvd needs to be (mostly) De-Interlined. Maybe this can work with the (E)(F)(K)(M) arrangement with one of the locals going to 179. And just like the (7) extension. A bus terminal would need to be built around Hillside and SpringField/Braddock since the current set up for the Street won’t allow for it. Doing this would allow for a variety of Route Changes to Buses along Hillside and Adjacent Streets. 

    LaGuardia Link (N) Train (Or (R) when Broadway is De-Interlined. Nuff said. 

    (E) to Laurelton because there is Space for a New Yard along the LIRR Atlantic/Rockaway Branch. Or to Cambria Heights via Merrick Blvd and Linden Blvd. I prefer the First Option TBH. 

    (J)(Z) One Stop Extension to Merrick/168. If possible, you could extend THAT to Cambria Heights instead of the (E). It could Stop Short of Merrick, then Turn Down 168, then Head via Merrick and Linden Blvd’s. 

    With only Extending the Current Subways in Queens, you can achieve the following benefits: 

    • Making a Better Bus Network for Queens 

    • Promote Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)

    • Better Subway Access throughout Queens. 

    That would be a Good Idea, also i like riding the Bus but the problem is that Buses in Eastern Queens are overcrowded.

    I could see (F) extended to Springfield Blvd or further it would reduce bus riders. Most riders especially during rush hours going to and from work or school from Eastern Queens take buses to Subways (7)(F)(E)(J)(Z) and some do not use LIRR. If those subway lines were extended further East it would reduce the need for buses.

    It would make Buses less overcrowded than it is now.

    that’s not a bad idea and that’s still within the current subway limits , you be tryna have trains go from the middle of Long Island to Washington Heights 

    Middle of Long Island is Mineola, Nassau and Suffolk.

    I'm saying Extending Trains from 168th Street to Cambria Heights is not a bad Idea nor does extending trains from Bay Ridge and Coney Island to Floral Park is a bad idea either, it improves travel options for residents from transit deserts in Queens like Queens Village, Pomonok, Fresh Meadows, Floral Park, Bayside and Cambria Heights, open up new economic opportunities, reduce traffic congestion, providing more space for repurposing of roadways for pedestrians, bikers, and goods transporters. Large parts of Queens are not on the subway system, although many of these neighborhoods have Long Island Rail Road stations. Ridership is very low at these stops because service is infrequent and expensive. These improvements would substantially improve access to major open spaces, such as Alley Pond Park, Cunningham Park and Floyd Bennett Field.

    It's overkill. The (F) and (R) already have reliability issues and the last thing we need is for them to be longer... you also have to consider that residents out there don't want a subway and that we really only need extensions in areas to decongest bus lines like the (7)  to FLB, (F) to Springfield (with it maybe running express after 71st to counter the effect of a longer route), and (N)(W) to LGA and then Flushing to siphon some (7) riders.

    I Have Friends from these Neighborhoods they said "it would be great to use Subways than Slow Ass Buses"

  6. My B Division Proposal is this, i don't know why many of you are against this proposal but it would benefits commuters from Deserted Areas like Eastern Queens, Flatbush, Staten Island and etc.

    No duh. Times have changed. Ticket-splitting is gone, NY has gone to the left, the Republicans have an ever weaker bench then Democrats, and in the age of Trump Democratic voters are agitated.

    States like MA, NH, VT and MD are all Heavily Democratic and Solid Left States and they voted for a Republican Politician, they all are Anti-Trump. even Molinaro and Gibson are Anti-Trump Republicans.

    Also Most New Yorks don't want Cuomo to run for a Fourth Term, so he would either lose in Primary or General Election?

    He is going to run in 2022 and will win handily. A Republican would have no chance of defeating him. Name a credible Democrat that could run against him. I can't. We'll have to wait until January 2027 for him to leave office.

    Why wouldn't they? His Approval Rating is Declining very fast. Chris Gibson, Elise Stefanik and Mark Molinaro seems to be best Candidates to defeat Cuomo.

  9. NYC is failing very badly since DeBla**hole took office, it is very possible we are returning back how it was during 70's and 80's. NYC has now Less Affordability, More Crumbling Roads, More Dog Shits and Dog Piss on the Sidewalk, Banning Smoking indoors, Increase Tax Hikes on Cigarettes, Very Stench smell from the Sewers at Guggenheim, (A) Train Derailment in 2017, Crumbling Subway System and etc. This shows DeBlasio is Screwing this CIty up. I Don't like Trump at all but i could pnly agree with Trump and the Conservative Republicans on DeBlasio for being the Worst Mayor in the City he's much worse than David DInkins, Abraham Beame and John Lindsay. DeBla**hole is a Liberal Democratic Version of Donald Trump.

    This City has become a Shithole thanks to Bill De Blasio. like what @MHV9218 said Bill de Blasio's aka Warren Wilhelm's legacy is the death of bikers and the rise of circling, polluting Ubers, Lyfts and other Car Culture in NYC plus the decline and collapse of transit use.
