Just to let y'all know, Brightlinerfan32 is MY account on CPTDB and is NOT owned by Jova42R.  

I have proposed a Queens TramLink system as a joint effort with @Jova42R. Please see the link below for the proposal.

Ok, here is my new map. NOTE: This is just a map of all my proposals that could be linked with a trunk line in Manhattan. (as @T to Dyre Avenue suggested). Some may work, some may not. I do have more outer-borough proposals, which I will make a map for As @bobtehpanda, @Theli11, and @LaGuardia Link N Tra said, I agree with both a Union and Lefferts line, but that couldn't connect Manhattan.

Thoughts @WillF40PH @Mnrr6131 @Theli11 @LaGuardia Link N Tra @T to Dyre Avenue @engineerboy6561?

Another suggestion I have would be to have a light rail line as a shuttle between the airport terminals at LGA as there is currently no AirTrain serving this route.

Thanks for the advice. But, it would have to run CAF Urbos 3s, due to the fact that there would be no catenary in some places.

Anyway, which routes wouldn't have enough ridership for a 2-to-3-car unit? I think that all would, especially with the service patterns that I outlined.

When I mentioned one-car trains, I was mainly thinking that way for off-peak hours.

A light rail sounds like a cool idea for NYC. However, I would recommend using Kawasaki LRVs as seen in Philadelphia so there's the option to run it as a single unit if necessary.
