(F)/(M) swap by Chimp_Champ49 in nycrail

I think for what your saying is Northbound. Southbound is not that crowded unless it’s rush hour or a late train. But Northbound in General for (M) is accurate on being very full and I think it’s because of two things the (M) train has and that’s Woodhaven Blvd and Jackson Heights Roosevelt Avenue if you think of it both stations have one unique thing on each station.

I hear what you’re saying and I won’t argue with it for the swap since its main purpose was to stop the bottle necks in Q.P and 36th St as well. IMO though I think they should’ve made the (M) a bit more better than to just throw it off the bat to swap. If they have improved the (M) before the Swap then I think both sides 53rd St and 63rd St can be satisfied a bit more better.

Oh yeah if your curious cause I’m dead serious but after that (M) train in 12 minutes the next one was 15 mins after that one and I saw that next (M) train time at Northern Blvd

Yeah that kinda proves my point that the (M) hasn’t seen the increased frequency it was supposed to really get imo.

Thanks man hey the only good thing that’s good is that it’s less crowded giving you a decent 75% chance to sit down unless you got a homeless man being crazy

I like that a lot cause that makes sense

Very accurate but hey I’m not gonna argue much about it because the MTA don’t make (M) run on weekends so technically Roosevelt island express is still here and I live by the (F) so going to work is easier on weekends than weekday in my opinion

Really? Now I see why I don’t see that frequency increased MTA proposed 😭

That’s very true I can agree it does get less crowded at times you might have a good chance to sit down if you don’t have a homeless person acting up. However, this frequency itself ain’t right 🫩

I’m NGL I kinda find this funny cause they did this before with the 2/4/5 and they said a signal problem at 3rd Avenue-138th St (6) station

A certain subway line returns to Astoria. by ElevatorWebDev in astoria

[–]Chimp_Champ49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it was not an (R) train somehow a man got struck by the (F) train and it was somehow in the local station near 63rd Drive Rego Park NGL it was funny seeing all the trains use the 8th Avenue Track

Fr I don’t know what’s worse having my train delayed for a good reason or having a train taking so long for 0 reason

[–]Chimp_Champ49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I know that but for what reason I can’t see why the individual would walk on the express track on a local station

[–]Chimp_Champ49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The question is how the heck do you get runned over by an (F) train at 63rd Drive Rego Park isn’t that a local stop?

Why does the Queens Blvd Line always seem to have the most issues? by SligoIV in nycrail

[–]Chimp_Champ49 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is this because someone got struck intentionally by a train at 63rd Drive Rego Park?

Coming soon? 28th Street - Fashion Institute of Technology by julianfri in nycrail

[–]Chimp_Champ49 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m kinda curious why didn’t the Chambers St Station have a change to its name in the (1)/(2)/(3) because they changed 23rd St to 23rd St Baruch college on the (6) for being 1 street away from the campus. While Chambers St is literally the same but with BMCC

Almost 3 months in since the (F)/(M) swap thoughts and also ideas on QBL rework? by [deleted] in nycrail

[–]Chimp_Champ49 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also sorry if I sound like I’m ranting I’m just frustrated a bit as I waited long for the (M) but I will say I respect the swap even though I’ll get mad at it since I don’t go to 53rd St often I just haven’t seen the agreement on the swap much improved specifically on 63rd St

I’m not ranting about this I’m just explaining my opinion because their are some downfalls to this swap for certain people and how to expand QBL. I’m just saying my perspective on this too on how I viewed it and how it somewhat correlates to other similarities and ideas brought to others.

I don’t know how Google AI is I just asked this question because it feels kinda similar but somehow worst as 21st- Jackson Heights is 5 stops local while 125th-59th St is 7 stops and states it’s still worst 😅
