In terms of total travel time: The 42nd St. In terms of speed of the trains: I don't know the technicalities of this, I'd assume though any train with express portions are pretty fast in terms of speed, lines like the and have those regions all over the line as an example and ones like the and are another good example, which go over QBL express. The could be called the fastest due to the long stretch of track it traverses from Howard beach to Broad Channel, where the trains meet speeds in the 30-40 MPH range. Though the and on QBL are also pretty fast as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shortness of them is why they are essentially called shuttles, but that shortness doesn't mean there not part of the same system considered with all the other lines in it. Just my feelings, continue the discussion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't refer to any other shuttle, besides the Times Sq. to state that it was the quickest in travel time, between it's two termini in comparison with all other routes in the system. I didn't state it's trains ran quickly (or short routes = faster trains) which was why I separated the first paragraph from the second paragraph I typed.

I wasn't (and still am) not entirely sure what exactly this discussion's concerning, since "fastest" lines could mean both fastest trains in speed or also fastest trains in overall runtime. It isn't clearly specified in the original post so I chose to give my take on both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B46 via Utica Posted November 7, 2018 Share #11 Posted November 7, 2018 The line is most definitely the fastest. Due to it not sharing teach with any other services and CBTC implemented. It also depends on the what you mean if your talking about travel time not including the shuttles the is your man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
