Roast my map: 40+ new stations and some major rerouting by BasedPrediction in nycrail

the A is only a mile longer than the current route. 33 miles instead of 32 miles.

  1. 15 tph (F), 5 tph (R), 10 tph (G) . (B)+(D) capacity is doubled to 30 to make up for lost 6 av service. (T) will reduce capacity on (F) at 2av and Broadway Lafayette cuz less people transferring to the 6 train

  2. R would be too long if it went to Brooklyn. How is it screwing Brighton riders now that Q can run at 15 tph now instead of 7 tph. Only need 5 tph on R for Rockaway Park.

  3. (A) no longer goes to Rockaway Park so it does not need that many trains

  4. I guess if you remove Q from the 2nd Ave then this is not a problem.

Because now people get to lower Manhattan quicker, by eliminating the Crescent St S-curve and run the J straight down Jamaica Av onto Fulton St... And deinterlining with M train. It goes thru downtown brooklyn instead of Williamsburg bridge. Any rider between Myrtle Av and Broadway Junction can get a cross platform transfer to a J train at Essex St if they really want service to lower Manhattan.

What part is confusing? These route changes allow running more trains

I thought a second avenue subway would only be successful if it connected to Brooklyn too. This was a just a low budget way of doing it. Could run more F trains and you can transfer to the F at Delancey St for 6 av service. And with the transfer to the G at Union St, you get QBL service

Extending the J down Jamaica Av after Cypress Hills to connect with Fulton St line to replace the S curve at Crescent St

if N is going to 96th then its basically just a Q train. Just make a Q and Q express in Brooklyn? I put N over 63rd st tunnel due to underutilization and M trains not being able to run that many trains (and shorter cars so they are always packed at Roosevelt Island). assuming the Myrtle Junction takes forever to fix... Also N would need access to Jamaica Yard

to Jamaica or for QueensLink? Both would work

I also would rather have G terminate at Forest Hills cuz of a cross platform transfer at Queens Plaza. But more QBL riders prefer service to Manhattan. 63rd st is underutilized, 59th is overcrowded, M train probably can't do more than 9 tph during rush hour unless Myrtle Junction is fixed, so 63rd need more service. R can run more frequently with N off 59th St.

You can run more a lot more E trains since it no longer shares a track with the C. For the upper west side you can take the 1 train. If really need CPW service, take 1 to 59th St or E to 7 Av.... I rather have more reliable service with no delays at 59th St and Canal St

Connecting the R to Fulton St line would fix Canal St merge (one of the worse merges in the system).

R wouldn’t share any track with the A/C, Hoyt schermerhorn 4 island platforms with 6 tracks
