I hope not! I'll never get to work on time if I need to depend on the during rush hour. 4th Avenue needs the to keep up with the demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fresh Pond Posted February 25, 2009 Share #29 Posted February 25, 2009 They will be running on the express lines, except I do not know how the can run to Hoyt St., if they are running express. The can't access the lower level at Bergen St comming from the north. The only way it can is from the south and if it does, it wont be able to go to Hoyt St. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eli Posted February 26, 2009 Share #31 Posted February 26, 2009 No its not! The would get extended to Brooklyn as Culver Local like the people in Brooklyn wanted when their is Culver express service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maserati7200 Posted February 26, 2009 Share #32 Posted February 26, 2009 The can't handle the crowd that the get's during rush hour. An express that skips 4th Avenue would be a BAD idea. Hey! If the runs express, more people will be using the express train. There are thousands Brooklynites advocating the express. Do you realize the only reason the express was no longer operates is because there was a huge signal fire in the 80's that still isn't completely fixed? This is why trains crawl between Jay street and bergen street. and why would skipping S&9 st and 4th ave be bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brighton Local Posted February 26, 2009 Share #33 Posted February 26, 2009 What if Smith/9 Sts and 4 Av/9 St get reconstructed as Express Stations? Perhaps, then they can utilize the as an Express and use the & in a scenario....? Just a thought... Zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach 1) That would cost too much money 2) It would be pointless because then they would have to fix Bergen LL to get to the middle tracks. And if its going to stop there, a cheaper way is to install switches after 4th Avenue 3) I don't see why people think the MUST stop at 4th Avenue and Smith and 9th.

I think people depend on the because its the "Main-Thru-Route" into Manhattan & Queens, while the turns East and then Northwest into Long Island City, without touching Manhattan. I would think the should stop at least 4 Av for the Connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. So why is the any different? i am not saying i am against an express. i am just telling you not to exaggerate on the amount of time an express train saves. if the majority of the customers on the Culver Line want express service, then it should be implimented. if not, they it should not. that is why some lines like the Brighton and Fulton Street Lines have it while others like the West End and Astoria Lines do not.

Are you kidding me. The reason why those lines have it is to connect people to other places, besides the places the local will go to. For example, on the Fulton, there is too many people so the would be a good train to use to get to Manhattan, but many people live in the areas of local stations so they have to use the . On the Brighton, many people work on 6th Avenue so they need the ( like the old and . West End and Astoria do not have it because there is only 1 express. It's not the people's opinion on these lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooklynBus Posted February 26, 2009 Share #46 Posted February 26, 2009 I wonder why when the local tracks are being replaced, the trains can't stop on the center tracks with bridges to the outer platforms instead of bypassing the stations.

It's not the people's opinion on these lines. it is resident's opinions. think about it. when the was introduced in 2001, it ran express on the Astoria Line in peak direction, but that was discontinued in january 2002 because residents said it was not necessary and survey showed the local was overcrowded while the express was underutilized. the used to terminate at World Trade Center on evenings and weekends and the made local stops in Brooklyn, but in 1999, the was sent to Euclid Avenue whenever it operates because Fulton Street residents said they wanted 7-day express service on their line. I wonder why when the local tracks are being replaced, the trains can't stop on the center tracks with bridges to the outer platforms instead of bypassing the stations. unless it is long-term construction, those bridges would be a waste of money and time.

BrooklynBus Posted February 27, 2009 Share #49 Posted February 27, 2009 The article states that this is a major construction project. This was done a few years ago on the West End Line and again on the Brighton Line. Those reconstructions only took about three months and the bridges were built.
