Believe it or not, the Queens Blvd Line was never designed to connect to Broadway and connecting the two created a systemwide imbalance. Only 8th Avenue and Broadway have merges (at Canal on the and Herald Square on the ) where trains cross from a local to an express track and they both cause systemwide delays and reduce overall throughput. You've clearly normalized for yourself but it is simply unacceptable anywhere else in the world. Moving the to the express and introducing a service from WTC to 71st increases the number of trains you can run on 8th Avenue and 53rd Street and reduces wait times. So QBL's connection to Broadway was made after? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one want Express, no one want causing congestion at World Trade Center with (E). Riders now are familiar with daily travel patterns from since 1955 and now 2019 they got so familiar with the Queens Blvd to Broadway connection which why it's still used today. And why are we boosting 6 Av and 8 Av service. Edited June 29, 2019 by bwwnyc123 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I’m assuming that you think One Seat Rides are more important than operating everything at Maximum throughput with the best efficiency by having simplified services.

And why are we boosting 6 Av and 8 Av service. ? Congestion at World Trade Center would only happen if you didn’t send trains in and out in a timely fashion. Currently we turn about 15 TPH at World Trade Center. In reality, it’s capable of turning 26 TPH. Moving the express and adding a would open doors for greater capacity. Also, what’s wrong with boosting service? The whole purpose of these service re-arrangements is to boost service so that we and have a more efficient operating system!! Given that you fix our operating practices to begin with. 2 hours ago, bwwnyc123 said: Removing the from Queens Blvd Line will cause so much issues. Because they need that Broadway connection not just 6 Av and 8 Av. Aside from Losing a one seat ride from QBL-Broadway.

If QBL lose the one seat Broadway access meaning even more people need to transfer to train just to reach another Broadway train, plus losing a free direct transfer point to . does not need help on 8 Av into Queens with its high frequency would just get in the way. Not everyone on 8 Av are trying to get into Queens. The current frequency of local is already high enough. Queens Blvd Line also need Broadway, not just 6 Av and 8 Av.

RR503 Posted June 30, 2019 Share #21630 Posted June 30, 2019 Just wanna throw it out there: the vast majority of Broadway local stations are within a block of a 6th or 8th local stop. Throw in the chance to transfer to Lex local at Lex/53, and you’ve covered the entire service area. I understand that there being more than one viable path between two points is a truly radical idea (we’ve had two pages of ATH and LGA presenting cogent arguments to that end only to be addressed with “but muh Broadway service” and “there is nothing wrong with rush hour service,” after all), but I think this is something worth adding. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those service changes is not going to work. You all want to eliminate direct QBL to Broadway connection to only focus on 6 Av and 8 Av. 8 Av doesn't even need service boost already has high frequency, riders prefer to transfer a 59 St to not just the at 51 St. No one want a Express with fewer cars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwwnyc123 Posted June 30, 2019 Share #21634 Posted June 30, 2019 Queens Blvd does not even have merging issues. Broadway has merging issues between 34 St and 42 St because of (N). 8 Av doesn't have merging issues either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you all ruin the Subway System. Correction. I’m 16, and at least I’m able to provide the information necessary to back up the service changes that RR503, R68, ATH, And I have been proposing. My advice to you is to go out exploring and check out this map, credit to @RR503: https://drive.google.com/file/d/141M8A9PZLVjMokZGTGZGQa1bEhG5ZJf1/view?usp=drivesdk One last thing.

Jemorie Posted July 1, 2019 Share #21644 Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) So now that the dust is settled...let me get back to my question: On 6/26/2019 at 12:21 AM, Jemorie said: I just want to clarify something about this endless fare beating issue...so when fare beaters get ticked with a 100 dollar fine, does that money go straight to the or does it just go straight to the feds? So obviously no one answered my question simply because they don't know? Okay. But it still would have been nice to know as it could have led to an interesting and complex discussion so that everyone has a greater understanding as to how financial works in terms of an agency like the . I once had a conversation with my teacher about this and she told me it was actually the latter though she too also does not know the exact full story. It would not be fair if it went straight to the government since it is the at the end of the day that is losing money. I know the state runs the but still. Btw, I don't fare beat and I know that even if the 100 dollar fine does not go straight to the , it does not still give anyone the excuse to fare beat just to avoid paying the fare.

RestrictOnTheHanger Posted July 1, 2019 Share #21645 Posted July 1, 2019 The Jamaica Yard R160s that occasionally run on the have been updated to reflect M14 SBS. That was fast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T to Dyre Avenue Posted July 1, 2019 Share #21646 Posted July 1, 2019 I noticed that too this morning. And the second weekday in a row I got an R160 (although on Friday I got off and waited what ended up being four minutes for the - the platform sign said it was one minute away). Also the R160 train I took this afternoon had the M14 SBS update. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted July 4, 2019 Share #21650 Posted July 4, 2019 (edited) Tomorrow evening, the lines, there may be a huge crowd during the afternoon to evening hours (most likely: crowded) with the fireworks taking place by the Brooklyn Bridge. Also, lines: both Clark St and Wall St will be blocked off due to the show going on (fireworks mentioned).
