Ceya Posted June 12, 2011 Share #26 Posted June 12, 2011 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. Didn't the C and A do this in the 80s? S/F, CEYA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallyhorse Posted June 12, 2011 Share #28 Posted June 12, 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). As said elsewhere, the only time I would the operate to Lefferts is overnights in an expansion of the to 24/7 since that would eliminate the overnight shuttle between Lefferts and Euclid.

SI Subway Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share #29 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... Thanks for all the wonderful ideas, matt1447! I agree with your sentiments about shuttles, they are supposed to be 2-4 stops long, not 8 or 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Subway Posted June 12, 2011 Author Share #30 Posted June 12, 2011 This just goes to show you that a fantasy transit board is needed, and maybe unnecessary foaming of any kind wouldn't interfere in serious discussions at all. The only foam I noticed was about the to lefferts, which did not have anything to do with the original discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendell Posted June 13, 2011 Share #31 Posted June 13, 2011 I dont think anyone has metiond this shuttle before. This shuttle went From Grand St,Man To 57 St-7 ave. Why was this shuttle deleted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lance25 Posted June 16, 2011 Share #32 Posted June 16, 2011 There's no way any line can run from Grand St on Sixth Avenue to 57 St-7 Av on Broadway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRT Bronx Express Posted June 16, 2011 Share #33 Posted June 16, 2011 He must be talking about one of these two 6th Avenue Shuttle services. Or else, this is the only Broadway shuttle I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Louis Car 09 Posted June 17, 2011 Share #35 Posted June 17, 2011 I think the (S6) was used during the Manhattan Rehabilitation project back in the 90s.Correct me if i'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRT Bronx Express Posted June 17, 2011 Share #36 Posted June 17, 2011 Correct, and that service pattern was, once more, revived in 2001 when the terminated at 34 St again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendell Posted June 17, 2011 Share #37 Posted June 17, 2011 Okay But then it would provide faster service for the J/Z.Im Telling you the Always has to wait just to get to manhatten!!!!!

Roadcruiser1 Posted June 17, 2011 Share #39 Posted June 17, 2011 Why? There isn't any use for it. It would just jam the Sixth Avenue Line's local and express tracks, and the Manhattan Bridge is fully functional. What would be the use of this ? In the end there is no use for this service, and it will not be reimplemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted June 17, 2011 Share #40 Posted June 17, 2011 Flatbush-Nostrand Av to Kings Plaza-Avenue Don't anyone dare bring up the Q35 and B41 B) Dollar vans ...next question lol As said elsewhere, the only time I would the operate to Lefferts is overnights in an expansion of the to 24/7 since that would eliminate the overnight shuttle between Lefferts and Euclid. And as everyone else said elsewhere NO Why? There isn't any use for it. It would just jam the Sixth Avenue Line's local and express tracks, and the Manhattan Bridge is fully functional.

Roadcruiser1 Posted June 17, 2011 Share #43 Posted June 17, 2011 The first phase is already under construction. It can be talked about. I think at best the would open and build the 1st and 2nd phases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only use I see for a is if it goes to SI, but we all know that isn't gonna happen. And if it has to do with Astoria expresses, there could be both an and an <N>, by the way.

Did you even read my post??:mad: An would be created to serve express on Astoria, so a would be irrelevant. And if that doesn't work, the could have two northbound terminals, like the has three southbound terminals. Unless a is going somewhere no train has ever gone before (star trek innuendo), I don't see the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless a is going somewhere no train has ever gone before (star trek innuendo), I don't see the point. Astoria doesn't need express service. Hence why it was terminated in 2004. Adding the back gives Broadway the service it needs and deserves (2 local and 2 express). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
