ConcourseExp Posted January 2, 2015 Author Share #81 Posted January 2, 2015 I swear that this is my last one, but the from 167 Street to Burnside Avenue is the best express because it goes fast and you can actually take in the breaktaking view of Highbridge and Morris Heights.

Brighton Express Posted January 4, 2015 Share #88 Posted January 4, 2015 and the , you can always find a train. The has gotten a lot better as well.

YankeesPwnMets Posted January 4, 2015 Share #89 Posted January 4, 2015 The full via Bronx-Lex Exp was very nice. Back in 09 when they ran the pilot, it would only be 8 stops from Woodlawn to Grand Central. Too bad the trains basically ran empty in the Bronx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BronxBombers Posted January 4, 2015 Share #90 Posted January 4, 2015 and the , you can always find a train. The has gotten a lot better as well. Mehh the is sometimes slow. Outside of Rush Hours the will sometimes get you to your destination faster. One time I waited for the at 59th but the showed up. I took the all the way to Chambers St with no train in sight.

Javier Posted January 4, 2015 Share #91 Posted January 4, 2015 I wonder if they will do the pilot program again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobtehpanda Posted January 4, 2015 Share #92 Posted January 4, 2015 I wonder if they will do the pilot program again. Unless ridership significantly increases at express stations without similar increases at local stations, there is no reason for the MTA to split off runs for express services. The pilot program only proved this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T to Dyre Avenue Posted January 4, 2015 Share #93 Posted January 4, 2015 and the , you can always find a train. The has gotten a lot better as well. The real days were the ( Q ) and on Broadway.

CenSin Posted January 4, 2015 Share #94 Posted January 4, 2015 The in Manhattan is not a long express run and northbound Q's get held at 34th to let N or R trains go first. The problem will be solved once trains stop serving the local stops and stop waiting for trains across the platform. The can be pretty darn fast once you kick competing trains off its tracks.

SubwayGuy Posted January 4, 2015 Share #95 Posted January 4, 2015 As a motorman the best runs with express in them are: If you have someone who knows what they are doing you can absolutely fly on these lines. Hour and a half 207 to Far Rock, 1:08 to Lefferts. Hour Lenox to New Lots Hour Utica to Woodlawn 54 minutes Bowling Green to Dyre (Bronx Local) Plus the Brighton Express is one of the better expresses in the whole system, just not during leaf season.

People can wait for the local at Times Square,34 St- Herald Square,Union Square-14 Street and Canal Street if they are running like the shuttle.

RollOver Posted January 4, 2015 Share #98 Posted January 4, 2015 it would be nice to make some trains run express. Isn't the express run between Canal St and 59 St-4 Av on the long enough? And doesn't the Broadway Express only save a minute or two? Please. And anyway, the local customers at 49, 28, 23, 8, and Prince Sts would all like to have a word with you, especially the ridership at those stations.

All of the express lines only save like five minutes anyways. Most of the time you save on the express is psychological. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
