RollOver Posted August 26, 2012 Share #27 Posted August 26, 2012 See, this is what public forums are about. You disagree (even roughy) is no problem. I just find it funny of how Threxx doesn't show off an attitude to BrooklynIRT, TheSubwayStation etc but when it comes to people like me, its problem. Funny that....And even everyone else gets more upset with me even though I mess up sometimes.......... But anyways, cheapest is to make all IRT lines run every 8 or 10 minutes IMO. That's all I'm gonna say..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted August 26, 2012 Share #28 Posted August 26, 2012 If there was trouble on the , then why is the gone? There is always an answer. The was discontinued due to all ridership demanding for all local-only service so the was force to make all stops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted August 26, 2012 Share #30 Posted August 26, 2012 Sorry for the rough post I made above. As for what Brighton Express said, well I think it had something to do with the frequency of B'way/7 Av Local but with skip-stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threxx Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share #31 Posted August 26, 2012 The was discontinued becuase people hated the skip-stop. It had nothing to do with money. All trains that were formerly on the are now on the , so that dosen't have anything to do with it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1447 Posted August 26, 2012 Share #32 Posted August 26, 2012 Another Weekend improvement thread...? As we all know, the , , and trains are plagued with poor weekend service, and the segments of route which they service on their own feel the repercussions. For the and White Plains road, I think the should run at least to Neried Avenue and have shuttle buses/train run b/w 148th Street and 135th Street on weekends... The does not need to go to the Bronx, the is good as it is. With the already helping out. I know its a b9tch when it comes to suspended (5)s, which leads to packed service. Which I think the should consider sending (5)s to 149th St, IF Lexington Avenue requires (5)s to be suspended. Now if the (2)s are running express in the Bronx, then the can stay cut to 180th. Or just lower the headway number as Trainmaster5 says. For the to the Bronx, have you've been really active on the to say you should move it there on Weekends? Thats a bad idea, there are some good numbers of passengers (not a lot compared to the ) who rely on the to Harlem. So that should stay put.

N4 Via Merrick Rd Posted August 26, 2012 Share #33 Posted August 26, 2012 To tell ya the truth I don't think you can improve IRT service on weekends. So I say leave it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only improvement is just increasing headways for some route. Restore Late Night service via Express, since the line is pretty long or extend the time it operates express, similar to the .

It only needs to go to 34th Street. The already goes to 42nd Street late nights, it needs to go the extra stop, that's all.... The name of this thread should also be changed to off-peak service....

The doesn't need to run express at night, it just needs to run express LONGER. The overnight service would be cooked if the ran express late nights. The needs to go to 34th Street for the connections. (Maybe the MTA doesn't want to remove the gates over the stairs at 34th? lol) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSubwayStation Posted August 26, 2012 Share #49 Posted August 26, 2012 BTW, Threxx, how do you know all of this about what stops have demand and which don't? Do you really go riding trains all through the night to calculate your own ridership data? Jesus then why don't they cut the at nights, send the to New Lots, and let the run Express? Oh is it because of 145 St, and 148 St? Man, you just answered your own question REALLY well. This is where I have to say your favorite line, "READ THE MOTHERF***ING THREAD before you post" . We just talked about the importance of serving 145 and 148 Sts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
