Bus Guy Posted February 18, 2011 Share #1 Posted February 18, 2011 With all the interconnections the system has is there a reason why we don't have different routes say a 8th av line to coney island via bridge or other a 8th av line via the cut to the bmt eastern div? Any comments or other routes that can be made but arent? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonanza123d Posted February 18, 2011 Share #5 Posted February 18, 2011 I think the Double Letter system would make a good comeback due to less letters available. Like the 70(AA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted February 18, 2011 Share #6 Posted February 18, 2011 There are lots of letter availible, and if we run out of letters we will use numbers. Numbers never end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted February 18, 2011 Share #10 Posted February 18, 2011 Hello the double letters were elimanted for a reason. They were a big ugly mess on the (MTA)'s map, and tourists had trouble realizing what was what. Just because you people want double letters doesn't mean the would go with it, and most likely they will not go back to the double letter system.

Luis1985 Posted February 18, 2011 Share #12 Posted February 18, 2011 Better yet To Euclid(extended to Lefferts Rush Hrs,late nights & weekends) To Church, To Stillwell. hell no, lol. the from Jamaica Queens, thru Manhattan, thru brooklyn, then back to Queens? not a good look. that'll be like the today. besides, ppl are used to the along Mc.Donald Av, and the via Fulton. as for the to Coney Island....thats not a bad idea, but it will delay the at Stillwell. i still feel like Church Av should be a permanent terminal for the instead of Smith-9 Sts.

The is also a crosstown line, and people on the Culver Line would complain if it goes down the Culver Line, because they want Manhattan. Plus extending the to Manhattan would kill the purpose of the crosstown line so no.

The 6 Av local tracks are being used by both the . Adding the to run from West 4 St to Coney Island*/Kings Hwy via Delancey St would cause major delays on both the and . So its alot better if they have the via the lines to Jay St, then via the line to Coney Island*/Kings Hwy. *The train to Coney Island can only happen if the terminates at Kings Hwy. you cant terminate both at Coney Island because that will cause delays, especially during rush hours. theres no way the can go to Coney Island as a 24/7 route because ppl want direct service to and from Manhattan. the only time the can be sent to Coney Island is when theres a G.O., or an emergency situation, which would still be bad cuz during those emergency G.O.'s, the is still a 4-car train, and will not be enough to accomodate a rush hour load on the entire Culver Line. its way too many people on that line.

T to Dyre Avenue Posted February 18, 2011 Share #18 Posted February 18, 2011 Running , and trains via the Cranberry Street tunnel then having trains switch over to the line at Jay Street is a recipe for disaster.

All it will take is one sick passenger or stalled train. then they'll have to suspend the temporarily if thats the case and have Lefferts Blvd (A)'s run local. it'll be just like the 60 st tunnel on the . if anything goes wrong, the terminates at 57 St/7 Av while the ®'s run via the 63 St line. The would be the only train goin thru there with delays. believe me, ive gone thru worst case senarios with these damn trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis1985 Posted February 18, 2011 Share #23 Posted February 18, 2011 Why don't we just wait till the gets to Second Avenue along with the , and then send it down the Culver Line. There problem solved. because the is not willing to build a tunnel to connect the 2 Av subway to the line in Brooklyn. unfortunately they're broke. if it wasnt listed in the Capital Program from the get go, then its not gonna happen. its bad enough the train hasnt even started running via 2 Ave yet, and that was phase 1 of the project that was supposed to have been started already. Once Phase 1 is done, they gonna have to reroute the off the Astoria line and onto the 2 Av line as it was originally planned. Another thing the is gonna have to do is bring back the to make up for the loss of the in astoria. thats money right there. theres no way the MTA is gonna squeeze in a plan to connect the tunnel to an tunnel and have the run via the line. im not saying it cant happen in the future, but they gotta finish what they originally started. once the complete 2 Av subway is built, and IF there is enough money for it, then the MTA might go ahead and plan an extention for the to go to and from Brooklyn. but as of right now, i really dont see it happening.

Anybody else see the contradiction there? First yo bash others for ideas using connections that are already built, then go turn around and pitch an idea for something that isn't even halfway built yet. The is not going down the Culver, give up already If that's not calling the kettle black, then I dunno what is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
