N4 Via Merrick Rd Posted February 22, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2012 i think that the should make a transfer complex between the at Hewes Street and at Broadway Station so i made a demo of what the the platform should look like: Hewes-JMG Complex Demo - YouTube) enjoy;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azspeedbullet Posted February 22, 2012 Share #2 Posted February 22, 2012 never will happen 1)mta is too cheap/poor/cash strapped..Unless you want the fund the whole project your self 2)according to the dumb mta, there is a lack of ridership for the connection (same for the L and 3) I myself will love this connection, instead of doing to a somewhat free (with unlimited metrocard) out of system transfer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roadcruiser1 Posted February 22, 2012 Share #6 Posted February 22, 2012 The Hewes Street Station platforms are extremely far away from the Broadway Street Station. Even worse is the buildings and the streets between them. According to Google Maps there are streets and buildings here. Tearing them down to make a transfer is impossible, and besides the riders have a transfer to the at Court Square. Plus they can also ride to the to transfer to the (J)/(Z) at Delancey. I see this as something that isn't needed especially because of the property between here. Maybe an idea that would work is an out of system transfer. That is the only thing that would work here.

Grand Concourse Posted February 22, 2012 Share #7 Posted February 22, 2012 But what about people that just wants stations on the or without having to back track using the and not wanting to pay another fare? If it's 4 blocks, then how would it be any different than the at Lexington? It's just reprogramming the turnstiles, not building a physical connection. Tape up a few signs leading people to the entrances and the transfer is set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T to Dyre Avenue Posted February 22, 2012 Share #9 Posted February 22, 2012 It shouldn't be difficult to provide an out-of-system transfer between the and (J)/(M). I wonder why it hasn't already been done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

overclocked Posted February 23, 2012 Share #12 Posted February 23, 2012 Well, now it is definitely a wrong time for more construction proposals. We have multiple projects going on already: SAS, ESA, 7 extension, Flushing Line CBTC upgrade, Fulton Street, I can go on. And Sea Beach Rehab is scheduled for some time soon. The point is that the TA has more than enough at the plate at the moment, I'd say finish what was started first, then we could talk about secondary projects/proposals.

Grand Concourse Posted February 23, 2012 Share #13 Posted February 23, 2012 There's no need for construction, the current reconstruction of the 62nd st stop and OOS transfer to the shows all that's needed is to reprogram the turnstiles to accept a MC transfer. Just offer ppl a MC transfer and perhaps ridership will go up. Of course there's 'low ridership', no one is going to want to pay another full fare to transfer if they can find other options. It's for convenience in areas that are close enough and can benefit from it, that's what the transfers should be for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanfortitude Posted February 23, 2012 Share #14 Posted February 23, 2012 The MTA is convinced that not enough people would use it. I can't see why anyone would willingly leave the station to walk 4 blocks and transfer to a train when its easier to use a connecting train with an easier transfer to reach it. Hell for some, walking that tunnel at Atlantic to get the manhattan train is too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacemak3r Posted February 23, 2012 Share #15 Posted February 23, 2012 Hell for some, walking that tunnel at Atlantic to get the manhattan train is too much. From the it's pretty damn long. From the (, it's long but it's manageable. It's the people you have to dodge and overtake while walking for the transfer that is annoying. It's like driving on the Van Wyck in the morning.

FriedChikkin Posted February 23, 2012 Share #16 Posted February 23, 2012 Having worked [all] those lines a lot as a Conductor I comfortably claim that the ridership isn't worth it, not even for Rush Hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That 4-block walk along Brooklyn/Bway. is way too long to connect the Nassau and Crosstown lines. Plus the ridership is too low to spend tens of millions in that part of Brooklyn. On the other hand, if funding becomes create a 'physical in station' transfer between and . For now that and transfer could also get an OOS transfer as well. IMO a transfer would do very well.

You build the transfer under New Montrose Avenue not on Broadway its not as long Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lance25 Posted February 24, 2012 Share #22 Posted February 24, 2012 It's not as easy as just plopping a connection between two stations. You have any idea what's under Montose Avenue? Yeah, neither do I, but I'm almost positive there are pipes and other electrical stuff underneath the street that would have to be moved around and stuff. That costs a lot of money and given the probable lack of use, there won't be a good return on investment on such a project. Yes, it's unfortunate that there aren't a lot of connections between the Crosstown line and the rest of the system, but they can't just build a connection between the Crosstown and Broadway-Jamaica lines and hope for the best.

Roadcruiser1 Posted February 24, 2012 Share #23 Posted February 24, 2012 You build the transfer under New Montrose Avenue not on Broadway its not as long The entrance to the station is at Hooper Street not Montrose Avenue. The Montrose Avenue entrance appears to always be locked. Also any transfer built here would have to travel four blocks. It is pretty far and not much people would travel that long to transfer. The ridership doesn't warrant for it. The best thing here would be an out of system transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
