Kingsbridge Bus Posted November 26, 2009 Share #1 Posted November 26, 2009 I think that the train is the slowest in NYCT.Last Monday the train was skipped many times Northbound between 59st and 135 st by & trains.When the train departed from 125st an train was directly behind us waiting for us to leave.

R32 3348 Posted November 26, 2009 Share #7 Posted November 26, 2009 Id say either or I remember waiting forever for both Infrequent =/= slow I think the is the slowest route, but it's not as slow as people think it is. The only real slow portion of the route is between Canal St. and Pacific St. The 4th Ave. stations tend to just drag by too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted November 26, 2009 Share #8 Posted November 26, 2009 I'd like to think of certain segments as slow. It really wouldn't make a difference what the overall route is like when you probably don't traverse the entire route anyway. The West End line, where trains can run express from Coney Island and still make it to 36 Street slower than a Sea Beach local & 4 Avenue express The segments between Dekalb Avenue and Atlantic Avenue–Pacific Street on the Brighton and 4 Avenue lines The Broadway line south of Canal Street to Whitehall Street Those are the ones I've personally experienced.

mikefrombk Posted November 26, 2009 Share #9 Posted November 26, 2009 The I think is probably the slowest moving line. It does come pretty frequently and usually on time as well, but I do not missing living off it. Ok I miss the area but not relying on the . The probably is the worst for long wait times especially late at night. Speed wise though, the is pretty good at moving things along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B35 via Church Posted November 26, 2009 Share #15 Posted November 26, 2009 The is slow(est) along its 4th av portion & the QB portion... IMO, it isn't as bad in Manhattan... Same deal with the in Brooklyn & the Bronx... isn't as slow in Manhattan as it is in the outerboroughs it serves... The is slow, overall, period... it's stint along CPW is the worst... The is more infrequent than it is slow... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelham Bay Dave Posted November 27, 2009 Share #22 Posted November 27, 2009 The Slowest moving line goes to the Slowmeo I Mean ®omeo. This is Local and has the most timers get gets pluged by the In Queens in Manhattan and the during Rush Hours. The would be faster if the riders didn't play there daily games wait at the end of the platform and other who hold the doors. The is a fast local. The is also a long and slow mover during Rush Hours Met to Bay Pkway lots of timer and slow speeds and the slows the down at Broad St then the play a role too in dragging the trip out but its not as painful as the since its only Rush Hours. If your going by Long waits or infrequent service that goes to the . Wkends you can also add Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATCOman Posted November 27, 2009 Share #23 Posted November 27, 2009 I think the is the slowest route (except for the section between Chambers and 96 Streets during the day). It is slow in Brooklyn and lower Manhattan and has a long way to go from 96 Street up to 241 Street. they say the entire line between Coney Island and 205 Street, Bronx is only 1hr and 15 mins if it runs normal. but from what ive been seeing, downtown trains are running local making (© line stops between 145 St and 59 St, then normal to Coney Island, not including late nights when the runs local making line stops between DeKalb Av and 36 St, then normal to Coney Island. i feel like it is more than 1hr and 15 mins even when its running normal. i understand the congestion at 36 St, Pacific St-Grand St (skipping DeKalb Av then going via Bridge), then 59 St-columbus Circle to 125 St, then 125 St to 145 St, then 145 St to 205 St, but according to the conductors schedule, its an hour and 15 mins when running normal. how is that possible?? One time I took the from 145 Street to Coney Island and it was about 75 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from Maspeth Posted November 27, 2009 Share #24 Posted November 27, 2009 Throughout this thread, the conversation is being confused. Some are taking "slow" as long waits and others are taking "slow" as to how how slow the ride is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsbridge Bus Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share #25 Posted November 27, 2009 I would like to know how slow the ride is.Don't we get skiped by local trains when were riding the train and never catch up to trains like the ( & trains:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
