Roadcruiser1 Posted January 16, 2011 Share #51 Posted January 16, 2011 Again people stop altering the current (J)/(Z) skip stop service. Any extension of the (J)/(Z) won't work. It would kill the skip stop idea which is successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel Up Front Posted January 16, 2011 Share #55 Posted January 16, 2011 : All trains to either side of Far Rock (Mott Av or 105th, nothing to that terminal in Brooklyn) : Service to 179th every half hour outside of rush hour : Express service as in the 1970s : Some link to Manhattan (J)/(Z): Send every other train down the former (Mx) route, but then stop at its normal Manhattan terminus : Enough of the "Catch Bus to Canarsie" system : For it to ****ing exist, along with the former IND Second System expansion to the Bronx Not too sure about the (J)/(Z) thing, seeing as how it's supposed to be skip-stop...

Mark 1 Posted January 16, 2011 Share #56 Posted January 16, 2011 Lines which could use some tweaks and changes and I won't list all lines as of now, maybe in another post. I won't really add too much in terms of expansion since there are other topics dedicated to this. D: Back to a 8 minute headway on weekends. G: Longer trains. L: Extend the tracks by roughly 25 feet at 8 Av so trains could come in a little faster. M: Weekend service to Continental Av. N: Extended to LaGuardia Airport. Our airports could really use more transit. Q: Skips 49 St all times. Back to 8 minute headway on weekends. R: Back to 8 minute headway on weekends. W: Possible resurrection if certain things fall in place. 1: Back to 6 minute headway on weekends. 2: Better headway on weekends. I would swap the Bronx express with the 5, making the 2 express. 3: Same as 2 in the first sentence. 4: Run a 6 minute headway on Saturdays. 5: Loses Bronx express to 2. Side notes: -Redesign the Rogers Junction. The current arrangement is just awful, especially with the 5. -Recalibrate certain timers. Elimination as we know is slim to none. -I'm on the fence with bringing the C to Lefferts Blvd. The short turn A's could go to Howard Beach instead but then the train would have to relay and I just don't see this happening.

Tokkemon Posted January 16, 2011 Share #57 Posted January 16, 2011 Just for the heck of it, I'll do this. All trains to Far Rockaway ( Make as Express on CPW. All trains to Lefrets Make as local on CPW Remove 179th St Trains Stick it thru the 53rd St tunnel Extend it to Forest Hills Make local when is running. Extend further into Canarsie Stick it thru the 63rd St Tunnel Sea-Beach express (???) Make peak-direction express in Astoria. Extend to Kew Gardens All night service BUILD IT! Eliminate skip-stop express and create a peak-direction express. Peak-direction express north of 96th St. Express to Flatbush Av Cut back to Utica Av Peak-direction express north of 125th St. Local to Flatbush Av all times. Extend into Bklyn.

4P3607 Posted January 16, 2011 Share #59 Posted January 16, 2011 If you could change one thing about each current subway line, what would you change? If I could, I would rehabilitate Chambers Street (J)/(Z) to resemble her original opening day newness. are there any photos of that? I dont believe Chambers St was ever pretty looking At the rate it is now... anyway, I would have a skip-stop service with the , & have the go express from Broadway Junction-Marcy Avenue, Making stops--Broadway Junction, Myrtle Avenue, Them Marcy Avenue. there are many different ways I would like it to improve: give back the Make express service on the Nassau St/Jamaica El & Sea Beach Line. Make Express service on the West End Line (during Rush hours, select trains would go over West End and make express stops Put back the culver Express There are so many ways I would like it to improve, but the one that should me the most is Making the an express service from Bway Jct to Marcy.

Roadcruiser1 Posted January 16, 2011 Share #64 Posted January 16, 2011 There are too things that I keep mentioning to people. One is there isn't enough R160's for everyone to get, and that still won't happen even if there is enough to go around, because it's a foamer's dream. The second one is stop talking about extending the (J)/(Z) anywhere past Broad Street, because it would kill the Skip Stop service pattern which people by the Jamaica and Nassau Street Lines rely on, and there is no need for express/local service on the Jamaica and Nassau Street Lines, because it won't work. Here we have a successful service, and you people want to mess it up. So shut up, and accept the fact that the , and would be terminated at Broad Street. The only hope for a south Brooklyn service from Nassau Street would be to create something like the <R> that would either terminate at Broad Street or Chambers Street, and either Bay Ridge-95 Street or Bay Parkway. One more thing. Tell the to give Chambers Street a full rehab. When I was 4 I used to believe that station was haunted. Plus the station is ugly, and is literally falling apart.

Roadcruiser1 Posted January 16, 2011 Share #66 Posted January 16, 2011 Nope in both ways you are wrong, and you still think you are correct in wanting all R160's, and you are going to restart the debate again.

You put mostly R160s on most of the lines except four of them. That reminds me that you ARE a R160 foamer. And no, you're not a hero when you say that every line should serve R32s. There aren't many R32s in service. 1 - All R142s - Fine - All R142s - INCREASED SERVICE DURING RUSH HOUR - INCREASED SERVICE DURING RUSH HOUR - INCREASED SERVICE DURING RUSH HOUR.
