Via Garibaldi 8 Posted February 9, 2019 Share #5 Posted February 9, 2019 I know and grew up with people from Gerritsen Beach. I can safely say that they are NOT interested in a subway there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R262 Posted February 11, 2019 Author Share #9 Posted February 11, 2019 i know, but skip stop service led to long wait times and a decrease of ridership on the Broadway - 7 Av line. skip stop service only reduced travel time by 2.5 - 3 minutes. although skip - stop service is cheaper, express tracks would be more beneficial in the long run. an express service (in this case, the ) would greatly reduce travel times for current (1) riders north of 96 St (1) (2) (3). Train frequencies north of Dyckman St (1) would increase along with express stations south of Dyckman St (1). just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
