Comments on: MTA board members like the F express plans http://secondavenuesagas.com/2007/06/27/mta-board-members-like-the-f-express-plans/ A New York City Subway Blog Tue, 22 May 2012 20:44:49 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Ernest Park http://secondavenuesagas.com/2007/06/27/mta-board-members-like-the-f-express-plans/#comment-37418 Ernest Park Tue, 17 Jun 2008 23:38:59 +0000 http://secondavenuesagas.com/2007/06/27/mta-board-members-like-the-f-express-plans/#comment-37418 The 'F" train express idea is ridiculous and a very bad idea! I am a senior citizen and I have used the Ditmas Avenue Station my whole life. About 20 to 25 years ago there was express service. I would wait-and-wait for a local train while express after express skipped Ditmas Ave which is a local station. Even now I usually get a seat anytime in the heart of the rush hour on the "F" train at my boarding staion. What is the point of all this petitioning? I dread the idea of express service coming back. Also, there just are not enough riders to justify express service. It would be a waste of the taxpayer's money and a much longer commute timewise for me. Please do NOT bring back the "F" express! It is a very bad idea! Also, I do NOT think that "V" service is practical. Ernest Park The ‘F” train express idea is ridiculous and a very bad idea!

They should make repairs on the lower level at Bergen Street. That way, when the F express service is restored, people can use the Bergen Street station to connect to the local trains upstairs instead of transferring at 7th Avenue.

I'll betcha not many Brownstone Brooklynites even knew there were two station levels at Bergen, the lower level shortsightedly shuttered and mostly ripped-out back over a decade ago. You can actually see the ghost-station on nights when the "F" bypasses to/from Jay Street for repairs to the main line. That said - and we're not really looking to open a can of worms in Bensonhurst - if "F(x)" service gets restored, could the "NX" be far behind?

That would go a long way to solving Eric's problem. It is common knowledge that in London's Underground people stay to the right on the escalators and those who want to move faster can walk up or down to the left. They also form lines at the bus. How civilized. New Yorkers have never followed the stay to the right rule on staircases or walkways in the subways. That would go a long way to solving Eric’s problem.

Without an express walk lane going up, it takes ten solid minutes to make the walk up transfer through the really slow mass of people struggling to breathe up the endless stairs.
