Shortline Bus Posted December 5, 2010 Share #26 Posted December 5, 2010 Some foamer will probably be doing that all day. True. Only negative about the connection to the is that the may never restore full 24/7 along whole route between Forest Hills and Bay Ridge via Bway/Manhattan Local. Still I still think after the budget crisis, the could still run at least between Whitehall and 95th St/bay ridge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3348 Posted December 5, 2010 Share #27 Posted December 5, 2010 Just wondering: how many people would actually benefit from a Livonia/Junius transfer? Judging by the map alone, this transfer would be rather peripheral: neither the and the do have that many stations between their Brooklyn termini and this proposed transfer. It would make it easier to get to the Livonia line from other parts of Brooklyn since the only way to do so right now would be to get the at either Atlantic Ave., Franklin Ave. (using the shuttle would entail a 3 seat ride) or Court St. (kinda out of the way). It encourages better intraborough possibilities. Also, the wouldn't make a transfer from the at Court St. to Jay St. since then the would connect to itself (there is a transfer from it to the A Division lines at Borough Hall).

Alargule Posted December 5, 2010 Share #28 Posted December 5, 2010 Hmm...Yes, I see now that it might be an interesting transfer for more journey options than I initially thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cotb16 Posted December 6, 2010 Share #31 Posted December 6, 2010 On a note regarding the Court Square transfer, this could take some loads off the train as it would allow for a free transfer between the and express. This would be better for me since I wouldn't have to depend on the infamous to shuttle me between the QB Lines and the East Side Lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRG Posted December 10, 2010 Share #34 Posted December 10, 2010 So Wednesday marked the last time I'll ever have to use the (F)ail train (or even the ) to get to the . Previously I had to take the (A)/© to Hoyt - Schermerhorn Streets for the or Jay Street for the and then to Fourth Avenue for the and be on my way to 86th Street for the bus to school. Now I can just eliminate the (F)/(G) from my commute and take the directly at Jay Street instead. This new transfer should make it easier for me, as well as for those who want access to the Financial District in Lower Manhattan. I'll use it tomorrow when heading to my afternoon class.

Guest lance25 Posted December 10, 2010 Share #36 Posted December 10, 2010 On a sidde note, when will they update the R160 announcements on the and the (late nights) & (occasional G.O)? I'd say about a year. That's about how long it took the R160s to announce the as a transfer at Whitehall St-South Ferry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot about it? I agree. Wall tiles just like what they did at 86th St. would've made the station look even better, but then again it all comes down to $$.
