Harry Posted June 20, 2008 Share #1 Posted June 20, 2008 The line, which was scheduled for increased service last December did not make the cut for this round of improvements. According to the , the line does not exceed the loading guidelines. The biggest complaints on the line is the long wait times. An increase in service would have cut wait times. The lines that will or should see improvements are and the ( lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastman346 Posted June 20, 2008 Share #4 Posted June 20, 2008 The public needs to use the even more so that improvements can be done with the line. If everyone does their part and use it as much as possible I'm sure the MTA would add more service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelham Bay Dave Posted June 20, 2008 Share #7 Posted June 20, 2008 No what you guys really need to do is Write Letters to the non stop like they did on the ( Lines.

MattTrain Posted June 20, 2008 Share #8 Posted June 20, 2008 If the has to be extended, in my opinion, they would go on the to Kings Highway via the Culver Line, therefore it will increase frequency of service via the Culver line between Kings Highway and Bergen Streets with the to/from Manhattan and to/from Queens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

via White Plains Road Posted June 20, 2008 Share #10 Posted June 20, 2008 only care about $$$$ not their workers, customers nor thier subways and buses. The subway sucks half the time, buses runs like crap most of the time and half of them need Limited service. MTA just don't care period and they have the nerve to raise fares again next year. When is this going to stop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micstromme Posted June 20, 2008 Share #12 Posted June 20, 2008 My theory is that the only reason that the is constantly railroaded is because of the flaws it consists of. The namely flaw that I hold responsible is that it does not run through Manhattan at all. At current, the only real line ( does not count) that does not reach the busiest borough in New York. I do think that if they make changes to that and allow for the to see some service in Manhattan, then the line will acquire more respect from (NYCT). If anyone should want change, start there and surely the rest will follow suit. Mark my words. SPOILER ALERT: This could be the sparks for anew thread. Stay tuned!!!!

jacsnyy Posted June 20, 2008 Share #13 Posted June 20, 2008 The neglects the , because it doesn't enter Manhattan. I agree 100%, but the people who neglect that train fail to realize that the two boroughs that it enters (Brooklyn and Queens) have the highest populations that any of the other boroughs, in addition to most cities. In fact, if Brooklyn was it's own city, It would be like the 3rd or 4th most populated in the country. Wake up , the people that flood Manhattan have to be coming from somewhere. The should go deeper into Brooklyn, if not all the way to Kings Highway, at least to Church, so the connection with the is possible at 4th Avenue. And also, the should follow it's map, and extend to Forest Hills when the isn't running. Add some importance to the line. It's so annoying to try to get to a local stop on Queen Blvd, when coming from the , cause you have to get the and then get to the . That's 3 trains instead of just putting the where it should go, based on the service plan! (Sorry, the train struck a nerve) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pelham Bay Dave Posted June 20, 2008 Share #15 Posted June 20, 2008 Yeah the people in Astoria kicked up about the and the people in Bklyn wrote letters about the ( because transfering at 34 St between the is an inconvenance. At least thats the story I was giving. I believe in the Future you will see Service Extended to Church Ave. However right now they can to make Court SQ the Northern Terminal because Continenal has a hard time handling Trains at the same time. All I can tell you from personal experance when I worked the Lines the wait to CTL terminal started at 63 Drive. Those where my Extra List days and I try to aviod the QNS BLVD Lines at all cost.

jacsnyy Posted June 20, 2008 Share #16 Posted June 20, 2008 Well, at least on the weekends when the isn't in service, the should run to Forest Hills. If they don't want to do that, take it off the map...which they won't do cause that's a permanent change and would cause problems with the riders. So, the "Until Further Notice" is all they do. And 34th Street from the to the is an awfully big station, and so it Court House Sq to transfer from the to Queens Blvd, so I think the riders have a right to complain. But, thank you for a train operators take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelham Bay Dave Posted June 20, 2008 Share #17 Posted June 20, 2008 Riders have a right to complain especially when they get the short end of the stick. I also don't understand the problems on the Wkends unless they worried about those construction projects that require all service on one track.

N-Trizzy2609 Posted June 20, 2008 Share #18 Posted June 20, 2008 That's a kick in the balls right there. Ouch man. The don't deserve this!

7LineFan Posted June 20, 2008 Share #19 Posted June 20, 2008 They're rebuilding the Culver viaduct from 2009-2012... does anybody think that they'll extend service to Church then? My theory is that the only reason that the is constantly railroaded is because of the flaws it consists of. The namely flaw that I hold responsible is that it does not run through Manhattan at all. At current, the only real line ( does not count) that does not reach the busiest borough in New York. I do think that if they make changes to that and allow for the to see some service in Manhattan, then the line will acquire more respect from (NYCT). Just a thought on this... sending the into Manhattan would involve abandoning quite a few stations along the Crosstown line (ironic in a way since it doesn't cross Manhattan or even enter it) unless some other train replaces it, new stations are built, new switches connect tracks to the current tracks, or terminals are changed. It's not gonna happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, if the operators and the passengers that ride that line wanted to, then they could write letters and demand that the see some mileage in Mhtn. There could be another train to pull some foot work for the . So if the letters wrack up, then the TA would make the move for Manhattan-Bound service.

I thinking about what you guys was saying about the going to Manhatan to get some respect. This plan might never happen but his my idea, Chould the built a new underground platform level at Queens Plaza so the can transfer to the ,, and possable future transfer with the and ? Then in my idea the turns and connect with the 63th street tunnel to go to Manhattan. Then the to the 2nd ave subway and connects with the . The than turns in to the 2nd ave express service. With the making express stops at 55th st (Transfer to the ),42 st( Metro North, LIRR),14 st(),Houston Street (),Grand Street( and possable transfer). Than ends in Lower manhattan or goes back into Brooklyn. As I said this expensive plan will never happen. It is all ways go to dream right? ;)What do you guys think about my idea.

Another platform at Queens Plaza might not happen because the goes to 63rd St before Queens Plaza. But then again, it's completely plausible for them to do that. The only problem would be tunneling under building foundations. If there were a free transfer between the and platforms it would be there right now. It would be very convenient but it probably won't happen, even though the stations are practically on top of each other. The 2nd Avenue line is going to be two tracked for its entire route so there won't be capacity for an express service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tripleeye49 Posted June 22, 2008 Share #23 Posted June 22, 2008 If anything I would like to see the connect with the Triboro Rx at some point and then enter the Bronx, and go to Kings Highway in Brooklyn at all times. Allows the to go express much of the time. The Triboro Rx in my ideal world would have three trains . The is the Triboro Line from Yankee Stadium to Bay Ridge. The would run under 3rd Avenue / Webster Avenue up to Williamsbridge. It would be connected to the Second Avenue Line train (I would have the go to Astoria again) go to Co-Op City via 3rd / Webster / Gun Hill Road.

Harry Posted June 23, 2008 Author Share #24 Posted June 23, 2008 The plan is going forward to extend the further south to the Church Avenue station late 2008 or early 2009. It is still not known if the change will be permanent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipaclansite Posted June 23, 2008 Share #25 Posted June 23, 2008 But if the Church Avenue extension passes will there be express service for the F, then a permanent terminal for the at Court Square that would really suck for weekend riders on the Queens Line, even though they're already smacked around since they almost never run there anymore on weekends... The easiest way to make the go to Manhattan is to build a track connection at Hoyt Schermerhorn to the (A)/© then have the Terminate at Chambers Street, but it would cut off service from Bergen to Smith-9th, leaving the F stuck serving them, and then screwing up service around there, ah! Missing connections from Bergen to Hoyt! Then again, riders can always transfer at Borough Hall.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
