Keep the crew assignments the same or close to it. crews operate the from 241 St to Flatbush Avenue, crews operate the from Dyre Avenue to South Ferry.

Rawson, Lowery, and Bliss do exist outside the station since 2003 (Bliss also has existed in Sunnyside Gardens since 1982). Because of this, MTA will not remove those names again. This is also why those three names were also restored to the subway map as well. https://forgotten-ny.com/2009/09/back-to-the-boulevard-queens-boulevard-along-the-flushing-el/ https://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/07/nyregion/neighborhood-report-sunnyside-names-have-been-changed-confuse-innocent.html https://sunnysidepost.com/sunnysidewoodsides-street-names-remain-relevant

Goodbye Lincoln and Fisk, unless they get the City Council and DOT involved....

Excuse me? The / swap is done to keep the 2/5 crews in place (with similar runs) and to cut down on overtime. I just pointed out the benefits for some riders. The alternative would be to swap the and in Manhattan causing more confusion than just swapping in the Bronx (and Brooklyn).

Not BS, the will actually run the whole weekend, even overnight, good for Lexington Avenue and lower White Plains Road trunk lines. The swap will be the only time the will really run on weekends at all.

Or run the 24/7 full length, no sense to have two shuttle services overnight, might as well combine them with a through service.

The or running 24/7 is assuming the Utica line is built. The running to Brooklyn 24/7 means the will still at least run to Times Square 42 St late nights, meaning better late night service overall. MTA already had the and local in Brooklyn on weekends for more than a year, so they could just as easily do that again. The would have to run 24/7 for Harlem residents in some form (like to South Ferry on weekends). The Harlem politicians will complain if the is cut on weekends permanently.

Doing that would mean that the would have to run to Brooklyn 24/7, the would either stay the same late nights, or could be extended as a local to South Ferry allowing the to run express 24/7 on 7 Avenue. The would run express 24/7 on Lexington Avenue.

Off peak service will improve as the and/or would have to run to Brooklyn 24/7. Running the 24/7 would be much cheaper for the MTA, though running the 24/7 is more useful for late night travel. If one of the tunnels (Clark Street or Joralemon Street) were ever closed, the or would have to be extended to Brooklyn on weekends since there would now be three branches.

Isn't a slow train better than a slower bus ride? ,,, , , , and riders are used to 'slow' rides in the outerboroughs.

If the runs all night, just have it run express in Brooklyn and Manhattan all night, no need for 3 locals, the and will be the locals In that case the should be 24/7 express in Manhattan the the can run local overnight

3 Brooklyn branches means that the or would have to run to Brooklyn 24/7, unless one branch is a late night shuttle. Also if the Clark Street or Joralemon Street Tunnels were to ever close again, MTA would have to extend the or to Brooklyn to cover one of the branches, or run one of the branches as a shuttle.

The City won't have to reimburse the MTA for the initial costs of the additional express bus service and can save that money for new Ferry routes.

Any cut MTA Bus Express service will just free up more NYC money to run more ferry routes

If the goes to Essex, wouldn't it be better to bring back the as a Broadway service instead of having two different colored trains? Another option is to make the run on Queens Boulevard 7 days a week in place of the weekend service. If the and have problems both using Whitehall, another option is to re extend the to replace the in Queens on weekdays since QB needs 4 services.

The is currently OPTO late nights unless it is extended below East 180th Street for a service change.

An elevated could be done over Park Avenue Metro North tracks

The late night Bx15 short turns to/from 149 St are also former Bx55 runs, problem is after 4am nothing replaces them, so late night service is not 20 minutes all night, it can be up to 60 minutes wait at certain directions/days

49th Street is a very busy station and it helps that both the and stops there, at least MTA thinks so.

To serve 49th Street station

Hoyt Avenue should be kept on the signs since it still exists right by the Astoria Boulevard station.

The Bx23 can help the Q50 with the ridership to/from Target and the other stores in the shopping center it will be more than just ferry riders. Some Co Op City residents at a meeting did mention something about having a route go to the Soundview Ferry. They could wait a few years and have the Bx23 to the Ferry Point Park stop. Some rush hour Bx23 trips will still be Co Op City loop shuttles, all of the off peak trips will be extended to Ring Road in Ferry Point Park.

Extend the Bx23 to the Ferry, it is the local version of the Q50, it just won't go to Queens. The City can pay for it due to the blank check reimbursement.

Rawson, Lowery, and Bliss will never be removed because of the dual street signs outside of those stations. Instead of removing outdated names, another option is to have the City restore them, then they will become current. A few other once non existing station names are guaranteed to be preserved in the future because the City has already taken action to rename or co name areas near the subway stations 6 Av (L), 110 St stations (1), (2)(3), (B)(C), E 143 St (6). Restored in the future E 177 St (would be the 4th time MTA had to completely restore a station name they previously removed) Honorable mention: Continental Av (no longer on the subway map, but still in the station.) The old names on the were preserved recently (though will likely be removed from the stations in the far future). At one point MTA stopped removing historic names due to complaints. Lincoln and Fisk on the are in danger of being removed next since they weren't recently renovated. Unless they want to restore Lincoln and Fisk via the City Council. https://nypost.com/2012/10/07/subway-stations-retain-signs-listing-places-and-streets-that-no-longer-exist/

And the evening and weekend service. Possibly the late night service.
