we need the 7 extended to the bronx, i know it’s wacky, but it will be worth every second of construction if it connects with the 2,4,5,6

Very nice plan!

Why would the L dig a new tunnel up above 72nd, rather than just running on the 1 2 3 tracks?

I love the l train Myrtle Ave and Wyckoff

230k daily passengers seems not much for a busy line?

As the only grown up in the room never knew that many members of the NYC Transit Forums would post these “fantasy” subway proposals. Which most will never happen in your or your grand children lifetime seriously. Any of you got tens of billions or more to pay for this? Plus other cities and regions in the United States of America also need. In reaction to this video, an actually of the “L” train to 72nd Street and Broadway highlighted by a new MSG arena in the Hell’s Kitchen/Clinton area is actually an realistic and great idea. Not to mention the Far West Side between 23rd and 72nd finally gets subway service. And finally extending the #7 line to Secaucus? No. That is what the new Amtrak/NJ Transit Hudson River Tunnel will finally solve. After that is built down the road maybe extend the 7 to New Jersey.

At the very least, you can extend the L to 10 Av and extend the 7 down to 14 St, and connect the two terminus stations.

You should do a video about the m34/a sbs (and possibly other bad bus routes). It’s always packed, slow and gets stuck in traffic despite bus lanes, and frequencies can be all over the place due to said traffic. This line is super important since it connects 6 subway lines, plus the busiest rail station in the western hemisphere, as well as serving as local transit for the super dense neighborhoods further away from the subway. At the very least, they could “14th street” it and hope they add good signal priority. Maybe from there, if it needs more capacity, it cooouuld be converted into light rail… Maybe that’s just a fever dream tho.

Man if this existed, I would’ve saved soo much time commuting to school

The city doesn’t run the MTA. The MTA is a state agency.

125th Street would have to be elevated, due to Manhattan Valley.

wait is there a source for this planned extension

I wish we lived in a world where we could send the L to the dense development on the NJ side of the Hudson past 72nd st

The Q train is expected to travel west to 125th St.

No matter which way that someone extends the L line the end of the line should have more than 2 tracks, preferably 4 tracks to decrease the time that trains have to wait outside of the terminal!

Whst in the hrll are you taking about! So you want to extend the 14 Street Cnr. Like on 10 Avenue. First oo all we have the Broadway Seventh Ave line on Seventh Avenue. The Eighth Avenue Line is one block at most from the Seventh ave Line. That is one of many reasons the IND. Subway never showed a profit. All you are doing is coping one line for another. Do everyone a favor, let the M.T.A. design new lines, it will get done it will take a long time, and coast a ton,but the lines are the ones we need

Agreed

Just subbed 🫡

So basically the L train will operate under the 10th Ave line from 14th St to 125th St with stops at: 23rd St Connection to the M23SBS 34th St Hudson Yards East, connections to the M34SBS & via a passageway to the (7) 42nd St Port Authority. You can scrap the 10th Ave on the (7). 50th St (added) 57th St John Jay 65th St Lincoln Center West (added) 72nd St with transfer to the 1, 2, 3 79th St for the Museum of Natural History and the M79SBS 86th St for the M86SBS 96th St 106th St 116th St-Columbia University East 125th St-Amsterdam

Sorry for that

I love this idea. The L is a great line and with this extension It will really make it even better.

Very interesting great job

If that's to be considered, why not also consider connecting the L train extension to the planned crosstown line on 125th street?!

This man is a real New Yorker I support it

😮 OMG!!! The MTA are thinking of more extensions and improvements. THAT’S INCREDIBLE. I feel that the future in NYC will be very modern. 🗽✨

Especially considering the Second Avenue Subway going to 125 st Nick I don't think going north of 72 street is necessary

Can we get a way from UWS across to Queens/UES? Like 168-Flushing Route?!?!

Its 24 station on the L. Not 27

IMO, I'd like to see it extended into NJ, to the MetLife Stadium and American Dream Mall. I would still have it extended along 10th Avenue, but I would have it branch off after 81st Street. These are the stops I propose, starting from 8th Avenue-14th Street: 18th Street 23rd Street (Transfer: M23 SBS) 28th Street 34th Street-Hudson Yards (Transfer: 7 train, M34/A SBS) 42nd Street-Port Authority Bus Terminal (Transfer: 7, A, C, and E trains) 49th-50th Streets 57th Street-John Jay College 65th Street-Lincoln Center (Transfer: 1 train) 72nd Street (Transfer: 1, 2, and 3 trains) 81st Street (Transfer: M79 SBS) 86th Street-Riverside Park (Transfer: 1 train, M86 SBS) *WEEHAWKEN TUBE (Leaving Manhattan, entering New Jersey)* 79th Street-North Hudson Park 75th Street-Bergenline Avenue 68th Street 61st Street-Granton Avenue 55th Street Union City-49th Street (Transfer: Hudson Bergen Light Rail) 42nd Street 36th Street-Bergen Turnpike North Bergen-Tonnelle Avenue Harmon Meadow Boulevard-Meadowlands Expo Center Paterson Plank Road *TRANSITION TO ELEVATED* Meadowlands Parkway *Crossing Bridge over Hackensack River before returning back underground* MetLife Stadium-American Dream (Transfer: NJ Transit) *TERMINUS* As for the design of the stations, I believe Meadowlands Parkway could have a layout similar to that of Old Mill Station on the number 2 line of the Toronto Subway. 34th Street-Hudson Yards, I believe, should have a Jules Verne-like Steampunk design, similar to that of Arts et Meters on the number 11 line in Paris, considering the neighborhood overlooks the Hudson River. 65th Street-Lincoln Center can also have an Art Deco design, with a mural depicting the history of choreography and dance, and even renowned classical music artists such as Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, etc.

Unnecessarily redundant past 72nd St; If I was the mayor I would work in tandem with MTA and state officials to use eminent domain to demolish the low rise blocks of Hells Kitchen between 49/50th along 10th avenue to build a new MSG using tax breaks and neighborhood commitments to then get bonds to pay for this extension. No Canarsie/UWS past 72nd extension as there are more important projects such as SAS and IBX to complete Manhattan and Brooklyn coverage with the exception of Utica Ave.

When it comes to extending the L train, I like your idea of a 10th Avenue subway extension to 125th Street in the UWS though this would be ambitious but would provide more coverage and increased capacity on Canarsie, for an southern extension I would recommend restructuring the L route so that It travels underground and shifts under Rockaway Parkway to Canarsie Pier, meanwhile another branch would be built sending it to Kings Plaza via Aveune M (under the creek) and Aveune U terminating between Rite Aid and Walgreens for two train sets going towards Flatbush with stations at Remsen , E 80, E 71 and Mill Ave as the terminus.

JOE is My FRIEND OK

MTA SERVICE BUSES MTA OK

The (L) Train should be extend to 218th Street Upper Manhattan.

I love the line! Thank you for the video. I used to live in the Marcy, and I used to take the L on my way many places, including Casual Male which I think was off 3rd Avenue. My mom used to always say that it broke down a lot because it only had 2 tracks. So a fire or anything totally shuts it down or turns it into a mono-system, as it were. But its an extremely useful line for sure. And you're right that is an ambitious project.

<L> should run to Inwood-207th Street via 10th Avenue local, 11th Avenue local, West End Avenue local, 86th Street local, Madison Avenue express, 139th Street, Amsterdam Avenue local, Dyckman Street, & Broadway, while the (L) should run to Harlem-135th Street via Madison Avenue local. These should be the stations on the extension: Ⓜ️ Inwood-207th Street <L> Ⓜ️ Fort George Hill <L> Ⓜ️ 190th Street <L> Ⓜ️ 181st Street-Washington Bridge <L> Ⓜ️ 175th Street <L> Ⓜ️ 168th Street <L> Ⓜ️ 163rd Street-Saint Nicholas Avenue <L> Ⓜ️ 155th Street <L> Ⓜ️ Saint Nicholas Avenue-139th Street <L> Ⓜ️ Lenox Avenue-139th Street <L> Ⓜ️135th Street <L> (L) Ⓜ️ 125th Street <L> (L) Ⓜ️ 116th Street (L) Ⓜ️ 110th Street (L) Ⓜ️ 103rd Street (L) Ⓜ️ 96th Street (L) Ⓜ️ 88th Street <L> (L) Ⓜ️ Central Park <L> (L) Ⓜ️ Central Park West <L> (L) Ⓜ️ Amsterdam Avenue-86th Street <L> (L) Ⓜ️ 79th Street <L> (L) Ⓜ️72nd Street <L> (L) Ⓜ️ 66th Street <L> (L) Ⓜ️ 59th Street <L> (L) Ⓜ️ 51st Street <L> (L) Ⓜ️ 42nd Street-Lincoln Tunnel <L> (L) Ⓜ️ 34th Street-Hudson Yards <L> (L) Ⓜ️ 28th Street <L> (L) Ⓜ️ 23rd Street <L> (L) Ⓜ️ 18th Street <L> (L) Ⓜ️ 8th Avenue-14th Street <L> (L)

I think the station list from 8 Ave to 72 St would need to be 18 St, 26 St, 34 St, 42 St, 50 St, 59 St, 65 St, and 72 St. I dunno if extending it past 72 St would be necessary. I say 18 and 26 cuz a long ass needless stretch would be in place if the L train were go from 8 Av to 23 St on 10 Ave.

im so ready!!1!1!1

R160 L trains might be gone next quarter according to MTA

Should the a train go outside again manhattan to marble hill 225 st

I've Been on them and they Ride Very well

Looks Better than the R46 No Disrespect It was in Service Since 1975

The (7) Train should be extend to College Point/Whitestone Queens with an Island platform. Have the (7) should use 12-Cars instead of 11-Cars to release over crowding. Also the (7) should be extend to NJ. Would be nice if the (7) Line have 4 tracks so the <7> can run Express in both directions in Queens to release over crowed. <7> Train shouldn't be running on late nights. (7) Train should be running Local 24/7. (7) Local and <7> Express Train's should have 12-Cars.

To me, what is so good about the 211s?

the 7 is the worst in general. it’s an okay train, it does the job to get you from place to place. but the only thing that messes it up, is surfers. yes, the surfers. they will literally do anything to delay your train and get you home or to work late. but despite that it’s a good train. it’s fast, trains come by every 2-5 minutes. and it’s the only IRT train to go in queens.

The <Q> should run to Crocheron Park-217th Street via Broadway express, 59th Street, 60th Street, Astoria express, 21st Avenue, LaGuardia Airport, 83rd Street, Astoria Boulevard, Roosevelt Avenue, Northern Boulevard, Crocheron Avenue, & 35th Avenue, while the (Q) should terminate at Ditmars Boulevard-111th Street. These should be the stations on the new route from 57th Street, Manhattan to Crocheron Park-217th Street, Queens: Ⓜ️ Crocheron Park-217th Street <Q> Ⓜ️ Bell Boulevard <Q> Ⓜ️ Clearview Expressway <Q> Ⓜ️ Francis Lewis Boulevard <Q> Ⓜ️ 166th Street <Q> Ⓜ️ 158th Street <Q> Ⓜ️ 149th Street <Q> Ⓜ️ Main Street <Q> Ⓜ️ Mets-Willets Point <Q> Ⓜ️ Ditmars Boulevard-111th Street <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ 101st Street <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ 94th Street <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ 85th Street <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ LaGuardia Airport <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ 74th Street <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ 46th Street <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ Steinway Street <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ 33rd Street <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ Ditmars Boulevard <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ Astoria Boulevard <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ Queensboro Plaza <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ Roosevelt Island <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ 1st Avenue-59th Street <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ Lexington Avenue-59th Street <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ 5th Avenue-59th Street <Q> (Q) Ⓜ️ 57th Street <Q> (Q)
