He isn't gonna dignify us with a true response to our response ('politics'), so why should we take the time to care. That's my new tack with this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted October 11, 2018 Share #27 Posted October 11, 2018 Is it really a NYCTF thread without Wallyhorse derailing it with his wacky proposals? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moot point for now because you can't have the to Broadway-Lafayette due to congestion there, which eliminates this idea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most — if not all — Manhattan bound riders transfer to the at Hoyt regardless of their destination, as you really have to ride to Smith 9th before you have a convenient crossover to the (Carroll has, but it’s at the extreme end of the platform, a good distance from where the stops). Putting one in at Bergen would allow a convenient connection — and could be done with little construction impact on traffic, as the LL is OOS. At the very least, an out of system transfer between sides would be appreciated. An underpass at Bergen Street would be a total waste, way too many stairs when you can just go to Carroll Street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elevator down, walk across, elevator back up. 2 mins max. Certainly faster than walking all the way to the south end of Carroll only to have to suffer through GTlandia coming back north into Bergen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubwayFan3000 Posted August 3, 2019 Share #31 Posted August 3, 2019 Also 86th Street doesn't have crossovers or crossunders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For riders like myself who have to go from Queens to the UWS every now and then, transferring from the to the Uptown would be great! On weekends, I have to take the to Rockefeller for the to the or -three trains, or the to Seventh Avenue to the to the or . This would make it two trains 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted August 12, 2019 Share #33 Posted August 12, 2019 The closed underpasses at 23rd Street , Astor Place , 110th Street and 28th Street should be reopened. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work on the Upper West Side and on the weekends it is terrible that I have to transfer to the and then to the just to complete my trip. It’s bad enough the isn’t all that frequent either so just imagine getting to 59th and missing the just as the has almost stopped. That has happened to me so many times and I had to wait 12-15 minutes additional minutes on top of the minutes I had to spend waiting for the before. 50th street is definitely one of those neglected stations that should have more of its entrances open and a underpass, but the will probably claim that riders can just go to 42nd street, which I honestly don’t think that’s fair due to how misaligned the two platforms are. Being in the first car of a downtown train means that you have to walk a full platforms length to the last car of the uptown train. That station is just horrible in my opinion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only worth it if you can do the work necessary to reopen Bergen Lower, which would allow for a full express or in the future some other line that operates as the Fulton Express. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if connections were taken into account during non-rush service.. If the is running in 10min+ intervals, the conductor should wait 15 seconds to let the passengers transfer. On the other hand many times trains on the way to Southern Brooklyn ( , etc) get delayed and I miss the LIRR at Atlantic Terminal, sometimes by less than a minute. As for the 42nd street transfer, I had to deal with that a few weeks ago. I had JUST missed the downtown at 59th Street because the crawled in every so slowly , so I stayed on the to 42nd street. On the ride to the next stop I realized that I was in the front of the train and had to walk ALL the way back to cross over for the Queens bound . Not only that, I went up the southern most fight of stairs, so I exited fare control and swiped back in (I wasn't about to go through the trouble to stay in fare control when I have an unlimited card). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
