Melvin Posted July 3, 2009 Share #5 Posted July 3, 2009 Your program isn't using the embedded fonts on the PDF file. Try re-installing the program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubwayGuy Posted July 3, 2009 Share #7 Posted July 3, 2009 Heh...subtle. They also moved the location of the South Ferry station from the old one, to represent the location of the new station (and obviously added the xfer to Whitehall) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R62A 1991 Posted July 4, 2009 Share #9 Posted July 4, 2009 The Subway Service Guide proves that the new signs that say "To Flatbush Av, weekdays & eves" are wrong. But, nice that they updated it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG Posted July 7, 2009 Share #11 Posted July 7, 2009 Few things to bring up: 1. http://mta.info/nyct/service/GserviceChanges.htm shows that the Culver Viaduct will be under repair for 4 years. Does this mean that the extension won't last long? 2. http://mta.info/nyct/service/gline.htm shows that the (G)'s strip map has been updated. 3. This may be old, but how come Avenue U and Neck Road on the doesn't say that only the northbound platforms are open? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean that the extension won't last long?? Well let me bring up what your link said: This new extended route for the will be in effect for approximately 4 years.. They didn't say the construction will last for 4 years, it said the will only be extended for 4 years. So you already have your answer. As of now, this isn't permanent.

They didn't say the construction will last for 4 years, it said the will only be extended for 4 years. So you already have your answer. As of now, this isn't permanent. The reason behind the (G)'s extension though is because of the reconstruction of the Culver Viaduct, which includes rehabilitation to the Smith-Ninth Streets and Fourth Avenue stations, which will also see renovation of the express tracks (notice how at Smith-Ninth there's a ton of stuff on the tracks, so they can't use them now).

Exactly my point. The is only extending the for construction purposes, not for a service increase. The does not have to necessarily terminate at Church throughout the entire project. I'm sure during the later phases of this project it would be possible for the to once again, terminate at Smith & 9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2013, riders are going to fight (I'll emphasize that: FIGHT) to keep the at Church Avenue because they're going to want express service as well. Don't count on the going back to Smith-Ninth Street because the MTA will be downgrading service. They've done it before, but riders will not let the MTA fall through this one that easily!

Actually a lot of Park Slope residents don't want the running express because they will lose their 1 seat ride to Manhattan. The only ones who will, would be the ones living in Kensington, or by 7th Avenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should stick with the A to F transfer @ Jay unless the G comes to Hoyt-Schemerhorn like right away! I tend to come from Rockaway Blvd from time to time to go to Bay Ridge. You got the G in the AM yet or the F always keep on coming 1st? BTW The new Brooklyn Bus Map is out as I got 1 yesterday when I got on the B44 LTD bus and it does have the G to Church Ave!

And I'm sure also, because they will not want to lose the transfer at 4th Ave. That's one reason why the sometimes does not implement nonessential possible service changes that would only be temporary. Because they know the riders will become used to it and not want it cut back when whatever project is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah all right! Always thought the PM route was the same as the AM however that sounds a bit like me in a way back when I was attending training school except the difference was that the AM route was for the most part the same however I always had a different way to go home in the PM(If I need to go straight home that is in the PM) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
