Most Idiotic Station Location

[MattTrain]

Bowling Green and Wall Street on the are way too close to one another.

[Grand Concourse]

Exactly, closing one of them late at night should be concidered.

[Fresh Pond]

It could be either or, but I would say most likely 3rd Av unless the 1st Av station is closer to 2nd Av.

 

Its gonna connect to 3 Av cuz the 1 Av station goes from 1 Av to about Avenue A

 

...And did anybody notice that Rector St on the and on the is literally across the street from each other?

Tell that to the NYCT employees at ENY Depot and Yard or Canarsie. Many of them live on L.I. and parking is very limited at both locations.

That`s right.Thats and interesting tidbit.I didn`t acknowledge that certain amount of employees that might use it for Long Island.I`ll make my observation more clear.Local residents would barely utilize the stop for the LIRR or the subway.

True. But if 3rd Av isn't well used, they could close it down and just have people go over to Union Sq.

 

I've crossed the street a few times from the Ferry terminal to the R/W stop. It is as you said, "literally across the street", just deeper below ground.

Speaking of those stations, I have yet to use that underground connection.

To me personally, it doesn't matter if they keep Atantic Av open or not. At least now that it's been reduced to a single island platform, it's not as big a waste to keep it open compared to when the n/b trains had to make the long S curve to the far end of the station's side platform.

21st street van alst on the no one uses that station and it is close proximity to court square station on the

[Grand Concourse]

Agreed, they should close that station and let it rot like the Nassau line's abandoned Canal station.

There are a few new residential developments (likely more condos) going up around 21 St station; wonder if its ridership will be stimulated by this, despite its condition and proximity to Court Square...

No because you have vernon blvd -jackson ave on the train within two blocks of the 21 st van alst train station

[Grand Concourse]

You both bring up good points. But I would probably guess residents at those condos would most likely take the 7 to Manhattan.

[nel070]

Yes considering the next stop on the is Grand Central and with the getting to Manhattan would require a transfer either at Court Square or Metropolitan to the
