To treat that station as just a tourist spot is selling them short. Maybe the Auto Show promoters paid the to have the shuttle in place? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well on TikTok there was a video of an empty train picking up passengers at 149th and skipping every single stop just for these group of people/passengers….. they paid for this 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted March 27 Share #3929 Posted March 27 Aside from the fact I don’t trust TikTok as far as I can throw it, that is not the same thing. People rent out our facilities all the time to film stuff, that’s not the same thing as paying us to run a public passenger service. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For service from these stations, take the to Astoria Blvd and transfer to a Manhattan-bound . What's happening? We're making accessibility improvements Reduced Service runs every 15 minutes days and evenings At Queensboro Plaza all trains arrive/depart on the upper level platform Apr 20 - 21, Sat and Sun, all day What's happening? We're making accessibility improvements trains are single-tracking around Queensboro Plaza while running express to Manhattan since there's no switch from Astoria to get to the upper level. Very interesting, kinda sucks that they'll be running 15 minute intervals, but can't really do much else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The could handle 96 St on its own (if it ran every 8 minutes in place of the ) but the via 2 Av…no. Just leave it every 15 minutes its regular route.

My main concern is that they want to run near-late night headways on one of the busiest Broadway Locals on a weekend. That’s why I offered 96th St at first, then 21st St (but I forgot the shuttle is going away this weekend), then Queens Plaza (have the go via 63rd St). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d just run it the regular Astoria-Coney Island service and people will just have to tough it out. There’s not enough crews to run a second service from 96 St to Coney Island, to supplement. I’m assuming many Astoria riders will be ubering, biking, or walking to the to avoid the backtracking to Astoria Blvd, which is annoying especially when the is not reliable with trains meeting at Astoria Blvd for transfers. A lot of times, the Manhattan bound train leaves JUST AS the Astoria-bound train is entering with a full load of passengers, forcing another 15 minute wait. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't realize CPW was also tied up. The main purpose of the to 145 would have been to allow for an split between Astoria and 96/2 to allow for closer-to-normal service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted March 30 Share #3948 Posted March 30 And the main purpose of sending the M up from Essex in the first place is because there is no L service between 8th and Lorimer at all. The N is at least running to all its station stops. On the hierarchy of service changes, substituting for service suspension comes before limited frequency. it’s one weekend. You know how often I’ve had to deal with complete suspensions of service on week days on the M around my house? little tired of people moving heaven and earth to make life easier for some people, while little old me, shuttle bus at 9 AM on a Tuesday… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happened nearly 5 years ago when service was cut for a few weekends south of 96th Street. Trains were sent to 145th to supplement service in Manhattan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
