bwwnyc123 Posted August 22, 2019 Share #8126 Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Um actually I do ride those lines and plus if you have noticed they have been already cutting service from Brooklyn during Weekdays after PM Rush Hours and Weekends for a huge number of weeks and provides service to New Lots Av. So if they were to permanently discontinue service from Brooklyn they are not losing anything. Edited August 22, 2019 by bwwnyc123 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting service just leads to decreased ridership. You honestly think that’s a great thing? Um actually I do ride those lines and plus if you have noticed they have been already cutting service from Brooklyn during Weekdays after PM Rush Hours and Weekends for a huge number of weeks and has been providing service to New Lots Av. So if they were to permanently discontinue service from Brooklyn and Weekends and Early Weeknights they are not losing anything. And soon they will start cutting down services on Supplement Lines. There is a difference between Supplement and Full Time Lines. I ride through all the Subway Lines alot.

You doing all that swearing, name-calling, profanity, and spamming doesn't frightening me in the least bit. Been through all that in my high school years already. Settle down, kid lol. Just pointing out that the more we cut service, the less people will ride the subways and anything else related to the . When you pay the fare, where else do you think that money is going to? It's already bad enough that people are already farebeating. How do we combat farebeating? Just something to think about. Think of it like going to a clothing store in terms of retail. How else are clothing stores and restaurants going to make money without customers? There isn't anything wrong with me disagreeing with your proposal in addition. If I came off too hard, I apologize. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jemorie Posted August 22, 2019 Share #8135 Posted August 22, 2019 (edited) Think of what @T to Dyre Avenue said earlier about being against leaving the train the way it currently is under someone else's proposal here. Especially when people complain about it running irregularly every now and then. The goal is to make it more reliable, not less. In reality, yes the generally does whatever they can to cut service, but ironically, they actually can get less money because people are already aware of reduced service equals more crowding and delays as people tend to hold doors, while at the same time flagging along the lines. Stuff like those causes people to avoid the subway and try other alternatives to get around. Less people who ride the subways means less people will pay the fare to ride the subways. If we don't try different methods, it actually makes the (and of course, Cuomo) look bad tbh. However, I know that the does save up yearly because of those crews who get paid to operate those trains will no longer do them. Just some critical thinking here.

And that makes it okay? This is 2019, not 2009. The needs to step up their damn game. Always remember: cutting one line forces all its riders onto the other. Cutting that said line forces more people to change trains, and thus, lengthening their commutes and causing irregularity in service as people hold doors. Cutting that said line also means fewer trains on a corridor. Edited August 22, 2019 by Jemorie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid, you realize the cannot handle both the riders and its own riders, right? Do you know how crowded the gets between the Bronx and Manhattan? What about the Flatbush customers? Are you suggesting that we should shove the New Lots customers as well as those traveling within Manhattan as well as to/from Flatbush onto the already busy ?

Literally the entire point of supplemental lines is to handle the loads the primary lines cannot sustain alone — they sometimes provide different service patterns, too. The exists on weekends basically because the would die without it. Dunno how much time you spend riding the subway, but if you’ve ever ridden the West Side IRT on a weekend sans , you’ll find that trains are pretty heavily loaded — to the point where ops suffer. The mitigates those impacts, makes the weekend somewhat more operable, and provides valued service to 145 and 148. Generally speaking — and it’s hard to demonstrate this empirically because weekend service is such a shitshow to begin with — service cuts during off peak times don’t save all that much money. The elasticity or demand is such that a service cut has the potential to reduce ridership to such an extent that savings are minimal, if extant at all. The reason MTA is able to leverage savings from the recent round of off peak cuts is because the service doesn’t exist anyway — the lines affected were supplemented into those service patterns anyway, so the MTA can reduce service (=costs) without worrying about an additional revenue impact because those revenue impacts were occurring regardless. A cut to the would not fit the description of a service pattern run all the time in the off peak; the runs most weekends. @Lance may be able to put numbers to this (and also, dear god, provide some much needed moderation in this thread). Generally speaking, we should be looking for ways to realistically efficiently increase off peak service rather than cutting it — there are plenty of ways to grow ridership and revenue — but that’s me. Flagging and productivity reforms, anyone? Also, if I may say so @bwwnyc123, you may be young, but one good skill to learn as you age is to argue respectfully, knowledgeably, and with an understanding that you may be wrong. The people who have responded to you in this thread clearly know more about the issue than do you — maybe you should step back and try to learn instead of acting, well, childish.
