ConcourseExp Posted December 6, 2014 Share #1 Posted December 6, 2014 I personally don't really like the . But is it really worth it to make the run local in Manhattan because the is always lagging behind and it takes 14 minutes for the next train to come.

Quill Depot Posted December 6, 2014 Share #2 Posted December 6, 2014 I think the should run local with the low headways. Also the should be extended to Bowling Green late nights to provide a transfer at Fulton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people at local stops along Lexington Ave need to go south of Brooklyn Bridge, they'll just wait for the anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people at local stops along Lexington Ave need to go south of Brooklyn Bridge, they'll just wait for the anyway. Actually, that's not a bad idea. People could take the local all the way to Atlantic Avenue. And the train idea, is good, but no frequency on the line would happen. Think of this situation like FASTRACK.

Back to the original topic, the is running local in Manattan late nights for the very reason you mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are acting like you're giving the local Lex riders a one-seat ride to Fulton, Wall and Bowling Green. The already serves that purpose. It doesn't matter. Anyway, stop bringing that up, as this thread is about the train serving five extra stops in Manhattan overnight. You guys are just going to have to deal with it and get over it. The Broadway Express doesn't even save much time, yet you guys still make such remarks about it. It only saves 1-2 minutes at most, nothing to fret about.

I certainly wouldn't want to wait another 10 minutes for a to make a transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Line1291 Posted December 6, 2014 Share #9 Posted December 6, 2014 That's just a little more money that's gonna be spent on signs and etc. if the was extended down to Bowling Green. Since we're talking about the late night local, this is the right step in a good direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted December 6, 2014 Share #12 Posted December 6, 2014 Why isn't the running local in Manhattan during late night hours? I think because of ridership and the complicated use of switches at West 4 Street and 34 Street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConcourseExp Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share #14 Posted December 6, 2014 On 6 Avenue or CPW?Both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted December 6, 2014 Share #15 Posted December 6, 2014 Both. Ok, so I already covered 6 Avenue, so for CPW, again, ridership comes up. Remember that during weekends, there is no local service on CPU for 6 Avenue riders. In fact, the Concourse only has local service to CPW during rush hours and I believe there should be more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenSin Posted December 6, 2014 Share #16 Posted December 6, 2014 this sunday at 12AM Looks like I won't have to trek over to 34 Street to maximize my late night travel options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They certainly stop the all the time at 59 Street to make it wait for the local . They might as well run it local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the makes all stops on CPW, there is no need to transfer to the unless you are going to Washington Heights or Inwood. My question is even though there are very few people riding at this time, would the local on CPW work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is even though there are very few people riding at this time, would the local on CPW work? I don't think it would because it would increase travel time which means extra crews would be needed which costs money. Also, ridership on CPW isn't high enough that it needs two locals overnight.

At the junction north of the station, the trains would switch. The trains would run local, and there would still be a cross-platform transfer at Columbus Circle.

MTA Dude Posted December 8, 2014 Share #25 Posted December 8, 2014 About the , I get it now. It's worth it. Lemme tell you a story of a stupid I encountered today. at Canal. Met at 8 St. Probably also at DeKalb. went to 34th St. We met again there. train stopped at 57th St. Stupid train riders missed their transfer at 57th St to the . That's how lame the express is. Anyways, local is a pretty big coridor, and local is a big benefit, so just deal with it and just enjoy the Broadway line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
