  1. For Bx5 riders and Bay Plaza, just add a three legged transfer between the Bx5 and either the Bx29, Bx12, or Bx12 SBS.
  2. The © would run overnight to 205 St in the Bronx replacing the . The © and used to run to the Bronx even before the was created. Since it is an 8th Avenue local, the © could just be extended to 205 St overnight instead of the running on 8th Avenue. The © would run from 2 Av - 205 St in this case.
  3. Reverse Commuters will use these stops, just like they use Fordham (and would relieve the crowding there) and Marble Hill.
  4. Riverdale does have the train, but that is only the eastern part. Then again Riverdale complains about train access, that is why the Bx20 remains during rush hours.
  5. This would replace the 3rd Avenue Elevated which ran in the Bronx until 1973. That part of the Bronx has to deal with long bus rides. Either a crosstown bus, or ride the Bx55 all the way down to the . Fordham Plaza has no direct subway service, a 6 block walk, the Bx12, or the Bx12 SBS is needed to get to the nearest subway stations on Fordham Road. The East Bronx also has long bus rides, the Throgs Neck PJs have a long ride during rush hours (up to 30 minutes, or even a bit more) from the Bx42 to Westchester Square during rush hours. Other parts of the Bronx (most of Soundview, Clason Point, most of Riverdale, Co Op City, etc) are bus dependent too.
  6. The will run normal until around 9:00, so there will be Bowling Green trains. There will also be some Bowling Green trains leaving Dyre sometime after 4am, and at least one E 180 St shuttle train at 4:59, connecting to the E 180 - Flatbush train at 5:10 (train leaves at 5:13). This also leaves a 23 minute gap in service below E 180 St. The is running express, unless there is trackwork causing the to run local, or the replaces the , the will run express all night. Useless to have the , and all local with no track work
  7. No sense in running all three trains local anyway. Wonder how many people wait for the express downstairs at 59 St and 86 St during those GOs instead of the and local upstairs (or wait for the express instead of the local overnight at any station)? Though those that really need the should catch it first chance anyway. At least the and will be less crowded in Manhattan and the will be less crowded in the Bronx overnight due to the running.
  8. Not exactly, at the end of the PM rush and early evening some locals run to Pelham Bay Park Pelham Bay Park trains leaving Brooklyn Bridge (tripplanner) 6:21 6:28 6:36 6:40 6:44 6:52 6:56 7:00 7:08 7:16 7:20 7:25 7:30 7:40 7:45 7:50 8:00 8:05 8:10 8:20
