Adding onto this, to eliminate the 34th Street merge on Broadway, the can run via. 63rd Street to QBL local.

The and should swap in Brooklyn. Let the run Brighton Express and the run 4th Ave Local. This way the can run to Astoria and still have yard access. The can use Concourse Yard, sending the to CIY. Yes, you'd have to run the on weekends, but they really need to anyway to alleviate the .

How would you then route a bus via Throgs Neck Bridge? That’s a crossing that is not used by mass transit that could be used for network connectivity.

There should be a bus via the Throgs Neck Br. It would run from Westchester Square to UBS Arena via. Bell Blvd/Springfield Blvd/Hempstead Avenue There should also be a Rockaway Pk-Sheepshead Bay bus

The Far Rockaway ticket is modeled after the CityTicket. While providing a great discount for Rockaway riders, it seems that the vending machines will only allow Zone 1 stations to be selected. I don't believe even Jamaica comes up as an option. City Ticket does not allow passengers to change at Jamaica for trains going in the opposite direction (e.g. you cannot transfer from the Hempstead Branch to the Babylon Branch for a Queens Village-St. Albans trip, or from the Hempstead to Far Rockaway for a Rosedale-Queens Village trip.) As Queens does not have adequate crosstown connections, it would be nice if these reverse trips were added to the CityTicket. In the past, it could be argued that that might make you end up on a peak train paying a non-peak price. But now that CityTicket has a peak option, this is no longer valid reasoning. Thoughts?

The will terminate at 116th St as per plan, and the will also follow the draft plan running via. RBB and ending at the ferry. I like the way the extended the 22 to Five Towns so that the can keep some of its express run. I would like to see a Rockaway-Sheepshead Bay route and have the take over Beach 9th from the so it could be more direct. This would include a short extension to Beach 35th Street to connect with the and NYC Ferry Shuttle. They're making a whole new development over there called Arverne East.

You cannot run via Cross Bay/LIE/Midtown and expect any time savings. It would actually be longer. You cannot run via the Belt either You would have to run via. Flatbush Ave/Foster Ave/Prospect Expressway/Battery Tunnel, and that would be only slightly longer.

Exactly. So going via Midtown is longer than just using the .

So you know that the express bus would be longer than any of the subway lines with the route you're proposing.

Do you realize that the downtown is approximately 1 hour? The express bus would be longer, non-stop or not.

Any express bus would be longer than the existing subway or ferry. The Belt Parkway does not allow buses so the bus would have to either run via Flatbush Ave/Prospect Expressway from the Marine Parkway Bridge or run via. the Midtown Tunnel first. Not worth it, just stick with the ferry or the

Myrtle-Broadway is a good place to start

Not sure, but it may be under private property/buildings on those sides, so stronger columns are needed?

Lines closer to the city don’t have capacity to support additional services in the outer boroughs.

I wouldn’t have a Fulton Line branch to Utica under this proposal, as you Already have three branches of service in Fulton-Far Rockaway, Lefferts, and local. With the addition of one more service, now you have three service, one for each branch. None would have to split. You’d inherit the same problem if one service went to Utica. Perhaps the Utica line could use the existing shell and terminate there or at Myrtle Ave .

It may not be worth it operationally, but for marketing, they might just consider it. Plus it would add a connection to Penn Station that doesn't exist currently.

Or to terminate/fumigate on the southbound track, relay and then return onto the middle track (does the signaling allow for that movement)? If not, it could be relatively cheap to insall one section of reverse signaling.

Even cheaper option for that, do it 11th Street cut style and have a connection branch off after Court Street under Boerum Place and turning on Schermerhorn. But in the interests of no new construction, the previous proposal works if no construction is to be done

In an ideal world, not to be Wallyhorse, but the 4th Avenue local/Montague should really connect to Nassau Street. If people at Court Street or Jay-Metrotech really need Broadway, they can transfer at WTC/Cortlandt complex. Here's my plan: -Coney Is-96th St via. Sea Beach -Coney Is-96th St via. Brighton -Forest Hills-Whitehall Street -Same as , but to Astoria. Internally, the would be an variant. With deinterlining, even though Astoria loses a service, the can have higher frequency. And for yard access, Whitehall Street can have the same terminal switching ops as Ditmars where a would return northbound as an for yard access. For Brooklyn: -Jamaica Center-Broad Street. Peak direction express between Broadway Junction and Marcy Ave, skip-stop with rush hours. -Bay Ridge-Broadway Junction, All local. Rush hours extended to Jamaica Center for skip-stop. -More trains short turn at 2nd Avenue or via the to World Trade Center.

It would be a new special bullet- a baseball with a Y inside it. Just for consistency so riders know where the train is going.

For post-Yankee game specials, to provide consistency and branding, the MTA should run any extra game specials as trains, the Y bullet being inside a baseball ⚾️. It would make limited stops after Yankee Stadium. It would stop at 125th St, 59th St, 42nd St-PABT, and terminate at 34th-Penn. They would then run in service as trains to 205th Street, then resume normal service. Limited service can be run from 34th Penn prior to games, terminating at 161-Yankee, and running light to Bedford Park Blvd to resume southbound service.
