LTA1992 1,389 Posted October 3, 2008 Share #1 Posted October 3, 2008 How would you change subway service and expand the system? I would start with the lines. I would extend the ©to lefferts Blvd. Then get rid of the and extend the to Rockaway Park. Extend the ( to Coney Island. Reconfigure the Sea Beach Line to a four track configuration(Again) and make New Utrect ave. and Kings Highway Express/Local Stations. Extend the Via Whitehall Street to Coney Island. Build the and extend it to the Bronx all the way to Co-Op City and extend the to City Island. Build a second deck on the Jamaica line. Create a new line to Canarsie. How will i do this? The line will run from Washington Heights via B'Way-Lafayette Street To essex Street. Across the bridge where it will switch and rise to the second deck. Then, It will use the tracks that connect the to the . The new from Norwood-205 Street to Metropolitan. It will run the same tracks as the from 145 to Flushing Avs. Then, it will turn off on Lewis Ave and run until Myrtle Ave. and stop on the upper level and the continue on to Metropolitan Ave. a new (P) line from Norwood-205 to Jamaica center.Using the same tunnels as the and(K) to Broadway Jct. Then continues on to Jamaica Center. Also, i will get rid of the . Extend the to Coney Island. Extend the to Coney Island. Extend the to Port Richmond, Staten Island. Extend the to LGA and the to College Point. Extend the to Rosedale Queens. Reopen the 91st,18th,and Worth Street Stations. Also, reopen the City Hall Loop Station. Just have people exit out of the first five cars like 145th Street on the . Reopen the South Ferry Inner Loop Station to the Train. Create a transfer from the Junius Street Station on the to the Livinia Avenue Station on the . Create a transfer from Hewes street(J) to Broadway(G). Extend the to Throgs Neck via Story Avenue. Extend the to Sheepshead Bay via 3rd Avenue, 39th Street/Ft. Hamilton Pkwy, and Ocean Pkwy to Knapp Street. These are just some of my plans, what about yours?

mark1447 685 Posted October 3, 2008 Share #2 Posted October 3, 2008 forget the being extended to city island, way to long, the will do, but on the downside I dont think any train can fit in a small island with a small population But the can run on the 3rd ave line, and termanate at ether White Plains rd-Gun hill or, Bay Plaza Mall The could extend passed 207, to to Van Cortland The can merger off after Bay ridge to the SIRT to Tottonville and to CI?? thats way to much trains in a small term But remember the capital that mta needs before this MAY achieve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The is wasting money on empty space, its about time they used it. *sigh.... Look, the DOES NOT need to run express via West End, its been mentioned before and shot down horribly because the service wouldn't make sense and be feasible. If the was extended to Coney Island, then you have a great chance of constant congestion, and even much worse when the line is backed up. Now, about the Culver line, what help would the bring going all the way down to Coney Island or Avenue X when the is handling it now? Those problems you encounter is the line being backed up by lord knows, and yes, they backup almost every single day. The way you think the service should be, you would be over-providing service, wasting money in the end and running unnecessary trains. And about express/local on the , it is not needed either. If you're directing to the Sea Beach, then the express service is flat out not feasible and a waste. The ridership on the Sea Beach is very much spread out so skipping stops would be screwing over people of stops you skip when theres space and time to let them on and make their stop. The ( to the connection sucks sometimes, but space is something you don't have at Coney Island, especially during the rush, to turn both ( and trains. Even the slightest backup would have quite a few trains line up. With a system like that, it'll fail. Its always good to have abit of time between trains so you can turn them in a more smoother pace so everything runs fine. And problems constantly occurs backing the line up now and sending trains somewhere they don't need to go unless of dire necessity, is not the resolution.
