Man this is so annoying. They take the off, and now the from the Broadway Express, and they keep piling up in the train, I can barely find a seat on the way home. I believe that there needs to be some kind of rush hour help on the Broadway Express, because I see countless and trains running empty in both directions, and I see either the uptown or downtown , depending on the time of day, full to the brim.
The problem even extends out into Brooklyn. I remember the days where the train would just drain out at Church Av. But that's not the case anymore. Most people are getting off at Cortelyou Rd now, and the train is about halfway full from there. I think there needs to be some kind of peak service on the , because the Broadway Express needs more trains during rush hour!
One way I see to solve this problem would be to turn some trains at 57 St. The countless trains I see passing 14 St that are going to Astoria is very frustrating, as the platform gets even more and more full. Maybe even bring back the to 57 St, but have it run Local in Brooklyn. I hope that the CBTC gets installed on the soon, there are literally thousands of trains on the one behind another, and the service flows so smoothly. But bottom line, the needs to make some more short turns, or get more service during rush hour.
