BSmith Posted April 7, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2009 Which is the most express line, the one that spends most time as an express during peak and regular hours? Which is most local? For express, I'd say the . The skips many stops, and may be strong competition since the makes lots of stops in the Bronx. Of course, the may be the most express. The most local. I say the , local in Qns, Manhattan, Bklyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted April 7, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 7, 2009 The R is indeed a long ride. I've taken it from Forest Hills to 95th Street many times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R62A 1991 Posted April 7, 2009 Share #3 Posted April 7, 2009 I'd say the most express is the to Dyre Av. Express along Southern Blvd, Lexington Av & Eastern Pkwy. Unfortunately, the Nostrand Av portion tones it down, but some trains do go straight to Utica and stop. But that's just my opinion. Most local, definitely the , but the local at night takes the cake, but it's only part-time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maserati7200 Posted April 7, 2009 Share #8 Posted April 7, 2009 How about Peak hours when the M runs local? Even when the is running, the still runs local on the Westend. During rush hours both the and run local on the Westend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, you can make a good argument for the . The would be a possibility, but I'm not sure what it does in the Bronx and it doesn't always go to Bklyn. The spends most of its route running Express and covers a big portion of both Manhattan and Brooklyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriedChikkin Posted April 7, 2009 Share #14 Posted April 7, 2009 Just for going express 125-W4 alone I love the ... at the end of the day it's definitely not as tiring as the since it runs express until later in the evening than the ... the West End ridership doesn't compare to the or as far as lines running south of Manhattan (even with the (M)s going there during rush hours), either (IMHO). Nice and quiet... and more likely to get moving quicker... unless there's an 'incident' ahead. A conductor in a transverse cab (R-68/As) is more likely to operate more proficiently than with one of the tin cans-which aren't on the line. Honestly the isn't bad, either... express through the Brighton Line is sweet but they start terminating at 145 fairly early and cease at around 10.

MTR Admiralty Posted April 7, 2009 Share #18 Posted April 7, 2009 Well the is local on the Westend, which kills it. Don't forget, it runs local down Concourse. That kills it too. Only during peak rush does it run express. And you are right about the West End, it's the only line there. As for the A, as mentioned by AWWang, that is NOT THE EXPRESS KING. Each of its terminating branches is a local route, be it Lefferts, Far Rockaway or Rockaway Park. And at night times, the A is the LOCAL KING. It makes ALL STOPS from Far Rockaway to 207th. Of course, the MOST express was the Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suheidy Posted April 7, 2009 Share #19 Posted April 7, 2009 During the rush hours the is really local from Metropolitan Avenue, Queens to Bay Parkway Brooklyn.. But I would say the and the are the most expresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rutgers Tube Posted July 13, 2009 Share #24 Posted July 13, 2009 Actually, there is one train which defies logic as simultaneously being the most express and the most local route in the entire system - The 42nd Street B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRG Posted July 13, 2009 Share #25 Posted July 13, 2009 The wins the prize for the slowpoke (local). As for the express the does operate express in all boroughs, but that's only during the peak direction. I'd also say that another contender would be the since it's express from roughly 6 a.m. to before midnight. No peak express train runs that late.
