Why would they put R62s on the 6 line when my understanding was that they were planning on putting a high tech signal system in place along the 4 5 6 line so that they could add more trains thus reducing crowding?

I won't pretend to be a subway buff because I'm not, so here's what I don't get... Why do they even need to convert R142s to begin with? I know why (because of 10 car vs 11 car issue), but what I'm getting at is aren't they going to be taking R142s from the 4 5 6 lines? I mean converting those cars wouldn't create any sort of shortage on the busiest line in the subway system?

To answer your question about how I'd improve service on Staten Island, I'd start with better adherence to the schedule. There was a time when service was actually not that bad in terms of buses showing up when they were scheduled, but service has really gone downhill, especially with the local buses. Second I'd make every effort to make as much buses connect in sink with each other as possible. Currently too many bus lines just run with no regard to making connections and considering the long waits on most lines this would help speed up commutes considerably and increase reliability without adding any service at all. How would you improve service on Staten Island?

Perhaps, but why would it be needed? I assume there would be a rail link in Elizabeth to the city?
