peacemak3r Posted August 30, 2012 Share #26 Posted August 30, 2012 The below 4th Ave, I assume it's just as bad as the retarded traffic along 3rd and 4th Ave's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSubwayStation Posted August 30, 2012 Share #27 Posted August 30, 2012 Exactly. You have a ton of bus routes that run every 10 minutes (or more), and you don't see a ton of threads complaining about "The Q88 should be improved". If ridership doesn't warrant better headways, then what can you do? Yeah, you should try to make sure the trains remain on schedule, but aside from that, what else can be done? Maybe a little frequency improvement if it's a long enough line with enough standalone segments, but that's it. Yup. Some people just don't seem to get the concept of mass transit. You can only have good service if a large mass of people will ride it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooklynunderground Posted August 30, 2012 Share #28 Posted August 30, 2012 This may be a dumb question, but has anyone ever suggested switching the & terminals back in Queens? Would that improve headways while not damaging the 's headways too much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The now has a home yard in Jamaica Queens and if they switch the terminals back to the way they were in the past, the latter of which won't gain yard access (not until wrong-railing at Lexington Avenue or crossing to the BMT West End or Sea Beach lines). Plus terminal do not have anything to do with a headway nor how long it takes for the to arrive.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted August 30, 2012 Share #30 Posted August 30, 2012 I would say run the weekdays between between Astoria and Bay Ridge Weekdays or add another branch of the to Astoria on weekdays but when the 2nd Avenue Subway Opens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q10 Airport Posted August 31, 2012 Share #36 Posted August 31, 2012 This thread has turned into a bunch of foam. In addition to this the train tracks, just like many other tracks, are at or close to capacity during rush hour. It is unrealistic to infinitely get more trains to improve service on every last line. Therefore this should happen to the thread: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brighton Express Posted August 31, 2012 Share #39 Posted August 31, 2012 Bring back the ! Have the run to Bay Ridge! At the same time! FOAMFOAMFOAMFOAM LMFAO. I would say run the weekdays between between Astoria and Bay Ridge Weekdays or add another branch of the to Astoria on weekdays but when the 2nd Avenue Subway Opens NO. What the hell is this supposed to mean? And no, I don't feel like discussing the extension again. Hell I have a good plan but let the haters do their thing. What? No proposal to reactivate the NX super express line? In addition to these added local services? LMFAO. Because we need a faster line to supplement it. The fact that it's slow creates delays... NO. Please lock this before we go back to the 60 St tube capacity again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q10 Airport Posted September 1, 2012 Share #41 Posted September 1, 2012 I can't agree more with the posts above! I wish we can just realize that the can't infinitely improve service on every line because they have limited resources. Anyway, the 4th Avenue line does not have the crowding issues of Lex, Canarsie, or QBL express. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted September 1, 2012 Share #44 Posted September 1, 2012 The only way to improve the MTA is for us to stop bitching about this non stop and let the MTA do their job. Sure the services are not at top notch, but the MTA will address and eventually fix the problem, even if it takes years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T to Dyre Avenue Posted September 1, 2012 Share #45 Posted September 1, 2012 runs 4th Avenue local via tunnel, from Astoria to Bay Ridge, 4th Av local Isn't that just the pre-1987 just with a different letter? It would have the same yard issues the used to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I really don't want to see another supplement along the Fourth Avenue Line nor the West End or Sea Beach lines. There's just no ridership meriting that. The is fine as it is, all they have to do is beef it up and there, its riders are happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lance Posted September 1, 2012 Share #48 Posted September 1, 2012 You know guys, you could just ignore threads like these and let them fall off the 1st page instead of constantly posting in them and thus keeping them on the top of this section of the forum.
