SI Subway Posted June 11, 2011 Share #1 Posted June 11, 2011 Does anyone have any new ideas for Subway shuttles? There used to be tons of 70(SS)s back in the day, should any be re-opened, or should there be any new (S)s? Sincerely, (S)I (S)U((A)Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sincerely, (S)I (S)U((A)Y I would rename the current shuttles in this fashion: The Franklin Shuttle would be named the FS line The Times Sq-Grand Central Shuttle would be renamed the MS [Midtown Shuttle] Finally, I would restructure the entire Fulton St subway service in Brooklyn, by extending the C to Lefferts, split the A into two routes: A to Far Rockaway and H to Rockaway Park. This would give the Rockaways through subway service into Manhattan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadcruiser1 Posted June 11, 2011 Share #6 Posted June 11, 2011 No. The Lefferts Boulevard residents don't want local service to replace their express service to Manhattan, and the new would jam the Cranberry Street Tunnel, also that will not happen, because the shuttles should just be left with the it would be much less confusing. That is the reason why they got rid of the old double letters like the 70(AA). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would give the Rockaways through subway service into Manhattan. Lefferts riders don't want a local train. Why do so many people here keep saying "extend the to Lefferts"? It's a long way to Manhattan, even Lower Manhattan, via the Fulton Street local tracks. Leave the alone. If anything, just rename the Lefferts as the .

alejr88 Posted June 11, 2011 Share #12 Posted June 11, 2011 I don't think the old shuttles should be brought back. The Culver shuttle was discontinued because of low ridership. The current ones are good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want direct express service, not local service. It could replace the existing Lefferts Blvd. The doesn't run during the nocturnal hours.

mark1447 Posted June 12, 2011 Share #21 Posted June 12, 2011 Oh god.. Not another one of these threads... The are SHUTTLES they are not meant to be used for long distance service.. But short service within an area. The IRT is used to allow passangers from the east to go to the west same the other way. Plus since loads of people want access to Metro-North at GCT they would use that instead of the since it ill crowd that line as it is now.. The IND is used for those living in the rockaway for access to the at Broad Channel from any stop before and at B116th Street. It use to been called the (Tho still called by the RTO) which ran from ether Euclid Avenue or Broad Channel to Far Rockaway and 116th via Wye. Renamed and cut to Broad in 93. The BMT is used to allow those of the Brighton, Eastern Parkway and Fulton Line customers to connect with there trains instead of going thru downtown brooklyn or manhattan or bus. Other shuttles: Dyre Shuttle runs on the Dyre Branch to allow customers to connect to/from the to Manhattan, instead of having the run 24/7 Same applies the the Myrtle Shuttle which customers can connect at Wycoff for the or Broadway for the . Lefferts Shuttle, provides people in Ozone Park to anywhere between Euclid Avenue and Rockaway Blvd to connect with the Far Rockaway train to Manhattan or anywhere along its route. Bay Ridge Shuttle provides those in Bay Ridge to connect with the or at 36th for Manhattan and Queens They are short trips.. Not long ones.. They Should Make A (S ) That Runs Between Elder Avenue On The To Simpson Street On The It Would Provide An Early Transfer For SouthBound Commuters That Are On The And Need To Take The Or . It Would Save Alot Of Time On Alot Of Commuters And Would Be Very Cheap To Build. I Mean It Would Be A 6,000 Ft 2 Track Line Between 2 Major Trunk Lines. Build a subway or el just for a connection? No way.. That ill never happen. You got ether the Bx4/A and Bx27 which you can use between Simpson and Elder Ave. Or walk or take the Bx5 and Bx19 to 163rd for the . However, it would be nice for a Free out of system transfer between the lines, especially late nights when the there is no Bx4/27 (Right now there is Bx4 shuttles running out of WF due to Elder and Law. street rehab which will be cut in the Fall.) Or have the Bx4 bus run late night as the current shuttle does from Fox Street (Simpson St) to Parkchester.. Instead of passangers going via the to Mott for the to 125 for and back..
