R32 Anthony Posted March 23, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 23, 2009 Hey Mets fans, what do you think? I think on weekends the should put express trains starting at 10:00 AM leaving Times Square to Main Street. I just hate sitting stop after stop on the line. This is why I try to take the to 74 street and transfer to the . Let's get our own express train with the Mets logo in front! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Y2Julio Posted March 23, 2009 Share #2 Posted March 23, 2009 Isn't there already train service set up for Mets games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanfortitude Posted March 23, 2009 Share #3 Posted March 23, 2009 there is. This is kinda redundant but good effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted March 23, 2009 Share #4 Posted March 23, 2009 The expresses dont run often enough and run local local express, and if theres a delay its local local local express. I think it should be every other train, because that ride isn't short, and it's bound to get more crowded with people trying to get to NYP from the new extension. - A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UlmerPark B6 Posted March 24, 2009 Share #8 Posted March 24, 2009 Isn't there super express for people to get back to Manhattan after night games at Shea, well now it's Citi, that stops only for a few stops? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that i know of. 2 times i took the next to the last (NJT) train back to trenton & took cab home ( last train to pa left 45 minutes before i got to trenton). No extra any special service on the subway that i can remember. In fact i started avoiding the for those later games because i didnt want to have to ride a local train back.

PATCOman Posted March 24, 2009 Share #10 Posted March 24, 2009 Here is how it goes IIRC: Weekday night game: to MWP; after game super express (only stopping at 61, Queensboro Plaza, Grand Central, 5 Avenue, and Times Square) from MWP Weekend day and night game: no to MWP; super express Weekday day game at 1:10: earlier to MWP; no on the way back I went to a 12:10 Phillies-Mets game last year (my last game at Shea) and there was no there nor back. To make things worse, the Phillies lost that game and Oliver Perez struck out 12 Phils! RATS!

On the way back to tsq you have 9 stops even with the . It will only get worse when the extension is done They really need to have a that skips 5th ave once the extension is operational.

R32 Anthony Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share #19 Posted March 29, 2009 There are the super express trains after the ballgame is over after every game. My point is that on weekends, they should have a Mets express train going to the ballpark. How many times you get on the in Manhattan or Queensboro Plaza and take the every stop. It is boring and long. Let's get with the program guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlushingExpress Posted March 29, 2009 Share #20 Posted March 29, 2009 first of all, the local is not boring; the local stations are heavily used and l like meeting new people on the subway (it is fun, trust me). second, if you closely examine the timetable, the express service only saves you 5-8 minutes, so what difference would a Mets express service make? i am sure most of you baseball fans would arrive 1-2 hours before a game. lastly, you cannot have express service on the local track due to frequency of the line and constant construction that diverts the local to express or vice-versa.

PATCOman Posted March 30, 2009 Share #21 Posted March 30, 2009 Well if one is boarding in Manhattan or Long Island City, then it would be a good idea to have an express service to CF even if it saves up to 8 minutes. Plus if the ran local, there would be people holding the doors at some stations. The local would be for the people at the local stations going to CitiField. There would not be any construction during a Mets game. Plus the Broad Street Line has a few express trains from Fern Rock to Pattison which only stops at Onley, Erie, Girard, Spring Garden, Race-Vine, City Hall, Walnut-Locust, then Pattison.

MTR Admiralty Posted March 30, 2009 Share #22 Posted March 30, 2009 There would not be any construction during a Mets game. That's why they have the GOs before the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Princelex Posted May 28, 2009 Share #25 Posted May 28, 2009 Tell you the truth, I dont see why the super doesn't out to Citifield when there's a weekend game happening. If there aren't any GO's happening, I think it would be good to have a super before a game. Even if it isn't an super express, a regular should run on game day. That's just me with that one.
