A Critical look at Transfers of the Subway System | Transit Talk

[@toadcube]

Personally I think there should be a hoyt (2/3) and hoyt schermerhorn (A/C/G) transfer, because as said in the video, the G doesn't really have many connections, especially with IRT lines, so a hoyt connection would be perfect

[@TheRailLeaguer]

G train transfers to other lines at Downtown Brooklyn don’t really provide much benefit compared to the costs of building these transfers. Furthermore, Southern Brooklyn don’t seem to benefit from these transfers since it would still be an indirect trip. Honestly instead of building transfers to the G from the other lines in Downtown Brooklyn, what can be done instead is connecting the Franklin Avenue Shuttle with the Crosstown Line by extending the former to the latter’s Bedford-Nostrand Avenue station via Franklin Avenue. This move would actually provide all the same connections for Southern Brooklyn residents without the needless backtracking to Downtown Brooklyn, reducing congestion there, and filling in a small but significant service gap in subway service in Bed-Stuy.

[@etro2649]

I agree

[@Bklynkid52]

Great video! My remarks: The MTA could’ve kept the out of system transfer between Hewes or Lorimer Street and Broadway. I don’t see why they couldn’t. The transfer between Bowery and Grand Street is completely unnecessary since people needing 6th Avenue service would transfer at Essex Street and people needing service to Downtown Brooklyn would transfer to the N or Q train at Canal Street. The overpass that people walk on between Livonia Avenue and Junius Street is owned by NYCDOT, so they would have to clean it, not MTA. 7 Avenue and Grand Army Plaza won’t have a transfer because of Atlantic Avenue. It’s one stop away if you’re at 7 Avenue.

[@lukethompson5558]

Agreed.. also he talks about taking private land to build this, but the only thing between Hewes and Broadway is a police station!

[@harveywachtel1091]

Re Grand/Bowery: This would restore the one-transfer ride between Borough Park and Williamsburg that was lost when T service ended at the opening of Chrystie Street. I believe the weird-and-a-half B110 bus route may have been created to deal with this need. Do search the B110. It's quite a, shall we say, shtick. Back in the 1970'a I presented a handful of expired student passes I had picked up from the floor of a B110 to a friend who was both a transit/railroad form collector and an amateur linguist. He was ecstatic, proclaiming them to undoubtedly be the only fare forms in the world printed in Yiddish.

[@GustavSvard]

Transfers should always be free. Always. Up over in my city, Stockholm, the metro cards are valid on all transit run by our version of the MTA (SL) and all transfers are free. Flat fare like the NYC subway, and the same fare for buses and commuter rail. With no extra transfer charge. Do that and see how people start using the wider system more. Also: any and all rail transfers that would mean a tunnel or such for a block or less: DO IT! Do it NOW. Transfers are an awesome thing, help people do them.

[@ccityplanner1217]

• Make Broadway Williamsburg eastbound only between Rutledge and Heyward Sts and put escalators where the westbound lanes used to be. Westbound traffic would be diverted via Johnson Ave, which would be widened to 2 lanes at the expense of parking.

[@joestrike8537]

Since I was a kid, the system created transfers between the 6th Ave & 42 St IND station and the 5th Avenue #7 station (via a long corridor), and the 51 St #6 station and the 53 St & Lex Avenue M & E station (via a block-long corridor). More recently they added that *long* overdue transfer between the Broadway-Lafayette IND station and the uptown #6 Bleecker Street station, and a. connection between the big Times Square station and the IND 6th Ave & 42 St station, via an *extremely* long corridor beginning at the the east end of the Times Sq shuttle plaform. (Which means you can walk from the 8th Avenue & 42nd Street IND station, all the way to 5th Avenue & 42nd, completely underground!)

[@BattleRidesNYC]

That transfer from the J/M to the G is still free. I’ve done it multiple times when being lazy.

[@keltian]

I would love a connection between 7th Ave and Grand Army Plaza. One extra point, the lines are right on top of each other. When you're waiting for a train at 7th Ave you can hear the 2 and 3 trains running underneath the B and Q tracks.

[@stevenroshni1228]

What about a connection from Hoyt St(2/3) to Hoyt- Schmerhorn St(A/C/G). If the connection from Fulton St(G) to Atlantic Avenue is too far, then let’s give them that idea.

[@iNevaan]

You already have the R transfer at Jay St - MetroTech for service to Atlantic Av and you have the G to 4 Av - 9 St and the F to Jay St - MetroTech & 4 Av - 9 St so there is no need.

[@iNevaan]

@@hnguyen5656 Well if you are traveling from Williamsburg to Brighton Beach, (very few people though), there are other alternatives in Williamsburg such as the (J,(L) and (M). What we need to help with all of this is a Broadway/Hewes St connecter between the (J/M) and the (G). This would reduce crowding at Met Av-Lorimer St and reduce pressure off the (L). Anyway to get the B/Q, take the L OR M into Manhattan. (M to Bway-Lafayette), (L to 14 St-Union Sq) to get either of those trains at those stations. On the M, it isn't that big of a deal, just a simple cross platform transfer.

[@iron_lion940]

An out of station transfer between Fulton on the G, Lafayette on the C, and Atlantic Barclay's would be great. Also an out of (or in) station transfer between Hoyt St, Hoyt Schermerhorn, and Jay Street-Metrotech, how about an out of station transfer between the Broadway & Lorimer

[@clixi652]

There's no point of the Fulton and Lafayette out of system transfer bc the host schermerhorn streets station is just one stop away

[@gregblair5139]

The real missing transfers are that in may stations, it's impossible to switch to the same train in the opposite direction. At the very least, this should be indicated on the map. Perhaps an "x" rather than a dot at station where directional change in not possible. This is not the case at any transfer point in the system since they fixed Bleeker Street.

[@CrosstownXpress]

Nice! Just wanted to point out that the 86th Street (N) and Avenue X (F) transfer was temporary when N service to Coney Island was shut down a couple years back for Coney Island Yard work, but was removed when N service to Coney Island was restored last year, so it's no longer in effect. Another thing, while this might have to be an out-of-system transfer, maybe a transfer could be made between the Chambers Street complex (Chambers St A/C, Park Place 2/3, World Trade Center E, and Cortlandt St R/W) and the WTC Cortlandt 1 Train station, might be remembering it wrong but I believe in real life the WTC Cortlandt station is fairly close to that station complex, even being somewhat connected with the Oculus hub too

[@mmmessiahhh]

It’s all connected already

[@blaksham]

The Chambers Street Complex is already connected - but not connected to the 1 train. It's all by itself in the Oculus (which you can walk between the 1 and the Chambers St. complex - but that's outside fare control). So to be clear - A/C/E/2/3/R/W is all connected. 1 train is not.

[@ccityplanner1217]

I reckon that a Bowling Green transfer corridor would come from the top of the R·W platforms and not from South Ferry station. The back entrance to Whitehall St station is in Stone Street, right opposite Bowling Green. It gets the extra frequency of the W, so suppose you want to go from a Broadway local stop to an IRT Brooklyn express stop. Trouble is, first train that shows up is a W not an R.

[@charlesingleton1213]

The 86 Street (N) and Avenue X (F) walking transfer was put in place because of the N temporarily having to terminate at 86th because of track repairs. Once the work was completed, the transfer was eliminated. Also, the Bowling Green-South Ferry transfer would be beneficial for 4 and 5 riders who want the 1 stations between South Ferry and Chambers.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

That could be one benefit, but the 4 and 5 stop within a block or two of the 1 train stations between Chambers Street and South Ferry. It’s only a short walk.

[@saulschlapik6818]

The final (Southern) segment of the 2nd Ave subway is supposed to have a cross platform transfer stop at Grand St. The way I understand it, there would be outside tracks for the T train with the B&D on the inside. There have been rumors that Grand St. was built with "knock out" walls to facilitate this. Of course the question is whether this segment will ever be built. Maybe in the next 20 or 30 years.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

The current plan for phase 4 at Grand Street is for a station to be built below the current one, supposedly to reduce impacts to Sara D Roosevelt Park.

[@coolboss999]

I was just about to comment this. The T I'd suppose to meet with the B/D at Grand Street. It would not be feasible to do the Bowery and Grand Street transfer now with that in mind. They would have to wait until they do the T train extension.

[@MP-ef9yo]

Queensboro and Queens Plaza are the 2 two closest stations without a free transfer (less than 400 meters). It would do a lot to help you get from Astoria to Rockefeller Ctr/MoMA

[@blaksham]

Horizontally, yes. Vertically, nope. That's the barrier. The reason why all these stations are so close to each other without transfers is because they were initially built by competing subway lines (IRT vs. BMT vs. IND). Now that everything has been unified under NYC MTA the opportunity is there - but the cost would be a LOT (new complex of elevators, stairs, escalators, and building enclosures ain't cheap).

[@stevenroshni1228]

@@blaksham how does the cost compare to how they connected the 7 and G train at Court Square?

[@stevenroshni1228]

Connecting the two stations would also be great because if they ever extend the G again, people from Brooklyn can get to LGA (assuming the N/W link gets built) without having to transfer to the 7 train especially nights when wait times are longer.

[@pianofortepianoforte]

Idea: Bergen Beach Line and the (W) train. Take the (W) along the (R) until 59rh Street. Then, take the (W) along the (N) until 20th Avenue. After that, bring the (W) along 65th Street until Avenue P. Lastly, bring the (W) along Avenue P until Kings Highway on the (B)(Q). Extra credit if you continue the (W) until Bergen Beach. So, the new stations I want along the (W) are: Court Street / Montague Street (2)(3)(4)(5)(R) Jay Street-MetroTech / Willoughby Street (A)(C)(F)(R) DeKalb Avenue / Flatbush Avenue (B)(Q)(R) Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center / 4th Avenue (2)(3)(4)(5)(B)(D)(N)(Q)(R) Union Street / 4th Avenue (R) 9th Street / 4th Avenue (F)(G)(R) Prospect Avenue / 4th Avenue (R) 25th Street / 4th Avenue (R) 36th Street / 4th Avenue (D)(N)(R) 45th Street / 4th Avenue (R) 53rd Street / 4th Avenue (R) 59th Street / 4th Avenue (N)(R) 8th Avenue / 62nd Street (N) Fort Hamilton Parkway / 62nd Street (N) New Utrecht Avenue / 62nd Street (N) 18th Avenue / 63rd-64th Streets (N) 20th Avenue / 63rd-64th Streets (N) Bay Parkway / 65th Street (N) Dahill Road / 65th Street Ocean Parkway / Avenue P East 15th Street / Avenue P (B)(Q) Kings Highway / Avenue P Nostrand Avenue / Avenue P Avenue R-East 36th Street Flatbush Avenue / Fillmore Avenue Avenue T / Fillmore Avenue Avenue U-Mill Basin Bergen Beach-Avenue W That's 28 stations, 11 of which that would need to be built. It looks like a lot, because it is. But, this would lead to so many new opportunities. For example, let's say that you live at the 50th Street (D) train station, and you need to get to Kings Highway on the (B)(Q). Instead of taking the route that you would take present-day, going all the way to Atlantic Avenue or Coney Island, all you would have to do, with my idea, would be to go to 62nd Street, transfer to a Bergen Beach-bound (W) train, and get off at East 15th Street. No going all around Southern Brooklyn. Just straight to the point. So, how to execute the building? Well, there could be 4 phases taken to complete this project. Phase 1: 4th Avenue. Take (W) trains from Whitehall Street-South Ferry to 59th Street and short-turn there. Phase 2: Sea Beach Line. Take (W) trains from 59th Street to Kings Highway. Phase 3: Beginning of Bergen Beach Line. Take (W) trains from 20th Avenue to East 15th Street. This is the important transfers part of the line. Phase 4: Ending of Bergen Beach Line. Take (W) trains from East 15th Street to Bergen Beach-Avenue W. Also, make sure to build an express track. Y'know, just in case. Anyways, I will finish this now because I gotta eat dinner. So uhh.....

[@stevenroshni1228]

If the N/W gets extended to LGA airport, the G could continue to Queens Plaza, then the Queens Plaza- Queensboro Plaza transfer would really help Brooklyn to LGA.

[@RedArrow73]

OT: Manhattan Bridge South Side tracks should also have a junction to the old Nassau Loop trackage, if only for Contingency/Emergency use.

[@PADB]

If I remember correctly the tracks for the IRT and BMT on Flatbush Avenue are places on very weird layout making a transfer between 7 Av and Grand Army Plaza hard.

[@RunawayTrain2502]

There was a Shuttle between Bowling Green & South Ferry until 1977. The old shuttle platform at Bowling Green still exists and it used the inner loop ar South Ferry with select door opening. Mabye they can bring that back now the the outer loop station is available. Also a reopening of Bergen St lower level so the (F) can run express to Church permenantly.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

That would be impractical due to low ridership and the availability of other alternatives in the area, specifically the Whitehall Street station, which duplicates Lexington Avenue Subway service into Brooklyn. However in lieu of a shuttle, there could be an in-system pedestrian passageway to the Whitehall Street station.

[@Tempora158]

12:50 The reason why the 4/5 train at "59 Street" station is two levels down is because it is an in-fill station, as there was never meant to be a stop there by design.

[@stevenlitvintchouk3131]

Yes, originally the 59th Street/Lex Ave station was a local station only. The express platforms were built later and opened in 1962.

An infill station at 104 St/Central Park W for the 2/3 connecting to the B/C's 103 St Station could be nice. Currently, the only connections between the 2/3 and C are at 42 St, Park Pl/Chambers St, and Fulton St. The only connections between the 2/3 and B are at 42 St and Atlantic Av. A new infill stop would definitely help people traveling to Upper Manhattan and The Bronx. Yes, 59 St exists, but it's a little frustrating to have to transfer at 59 St and then transfer again at 42 St or 72 St.

There is no need for that since it’s faster to stay on the train all the way to a nearby station.

The Broadway station on the “G” was not intended to work with the BMT Broadway line. The IND wanted to demolish the “J” west of Broadway Junction. They where never going to build IND stations to benefit the BMT stations because the city viewed the BMT and IRT as enemy companies that had to be destroyed in the 30s after the IRT Supreme Court case occurred.

[@davidfreeman3083]

I heard about that. And I think IND's plan was to have an underground line between Williamsburg bridge and Broadway Junction. Which would make a transfer to the G at Broadway station easier since they can get to build new stations and both stations would be underground.

Queens Plaza > Queensboro Plaza should be a permanent out of system Xfer! The money to build a complex is unnecessary because there wouldn't be enough people to benefit from it considering the cost. I do support the out of system walking transfer because of my personal experience. I lived in Hollis when I got my first summer job in Astoria. Any way you cut it, I had to take 3 trains. I was originally told to take the E or the F to Queens Plaza (before 63rd Street connection was complete) then take the R to Lexington Ave in Manhattan followed by the N to Astoria Blvd. After doing that, I discovered I can take the E or F to Roosevelt Ave then the 7 to QB Plaza followed by the N to Astoria. I think the OOS transfer at Queens Plaza would help people coming from Southeastern Queens get to Astoria with less of a hassle. The need does not necessitate a complex, but I am sure there are enough people to justify the walking transfer.

I think you would only have to remove Hewes St. for a Union St. Station when you build the platforms beginn from the corner of Union St. to Montrose Ave. Land acquisition shouldn't be the biggest problem eighter. At the far side of a potential Union St. Station you have a car park and a gas station. Alternatively you could make a longer walking transfer by building it on the island between New Montrose Ave and Montrose Ave. Or in the parking of the neighboring Police Department. There used to be entrance to Broadway-Station on South 5th and Montrose. Carparks are basically unused land. The distance from a potential Union St Station to Lorimer St with just shy of 1000 ft (280 m) would be relatively short but the current distance between Marcy and Hewes is about the same, so it shouldn't be that big of an issue

[@TheRailLeaguer]

At this point, you might as well replace the Lorimer Street station as well. All plans for a Union Avenue stop have seen both the Hewes Street and Lorimer Street stops close due to proximity to both Union Avenue and other stations on the line.

[@pbatommy]

The Junius Street/Livonia Avenue transfer between the 3 and L is long overdue.

[@qolspony]

The bmt b/q (former LIRR) and the irt 2/3/4/5 was built with dual contracts (Bergen Street, 7th Avenue and Grand Army Plaza). All you have to do is search Google for these construction plans. This is probably the only other place where A division train share space with B division. But there isn't a track connection, because they are built at different levels. For instance, the IRT is mostly higher than the BMT tunnel except for 7th Avenue. But because the irt express tracks is on the other side of the bmt, it was built elevated for some reason. Although you can't see this on the bmt, because it is blocked by a wall, but the irt local gives you a somewhat clear idea of what is going on. The express elevates around the Bergen Street station to make room for those bmt tunnel. You have to see it to believe it. Although I never seen an irt from the 7th Avenue station, a while back someone mentioned seeing an irt. But the way it is seen is difficult for the average rider. But you definitely know something is there by what you hear. Besides that history, these stations are on different levels making it very difficult to build a transfer.

[@diegodesouza5382]

[@TheRailLeaguer]

@@diegodesouza5382 Or we can do this option: replacing the low-volume Hewes Street and Lorimer Street stations (which both saw ridership declines) and replacing them with a single stop at Union Avenue. This would provide a direct connection to the growing G line at Broadway stations, and with a second transfer stop, reduce congestion at Metropolitan Avenue. This would also provide better stop spacing on the entire line, since the new stop would be up to a half mile from nearby stations on the line.

[@JohnR-wf2hh]

B or D riders that want to travel to the financial district don't need a transfer at Bowery since they can easily access the R via cross platform transfer at Atlantic (D) and Dekalb (B). If they want to get closer to the J line, they can also transfer to the 4 or 5 at Atlantic.

[@JohnR-wf2hh]

I can see one argument for building a Queens Plaza--Queensboro Plaza transfer. Passengers on the E, F, and M trains don't have easy access to Astoria. I suppose you can argue that the F and M passengers can transfer to the N or W at 34 St, but there is really no convenient option for E riders other than getting off at Queens Plaza to get the Q69 or Q100, which is slower. The other option is to take the 6 from 51 St to 59 st which is just a burden in my mind.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

The C at one point did extend our past Euclid Avenue, going to Rockaway Park-Beach 116th Street. However, complaints from A and C train riders about slow and confusing service resulted in the MTA changing the pattern in 1992 to what we have now, which is a lot more simpler (also helps that they saved around $20,000 in operational costs). For the E train, both the Cranberry Street Tunnel and the 6th Avenue local tracks are already at capacity so sending E trains that way are moot. Also, believe it or not, World Trade Center can handle 26 trains per hour, so a lot of the delays can be solved by better operational efficiencies from the rail control center.

[@juice-opinion]

you don’t need a union av station at all, it’s more affordable to just replace the stairs at the end of hewes with escalators+elevators that connect to a pedestrian underpass under broadway or montrose extending the g’s mezzanine. this makes sense to do at the same time as an ada upgrade, and j/z could get ground level fare control to boot i think 7 av / grand army isn’t possible because the track layout doesn’t give enough space for a pedestrian tunnel to weave around the IRT. that tunnel down flatbush is really weird. but with metrocard going away it could be easier to do free out-of-station transfers in the future

[@juice-opinion]

@@TheRailLeaguer i take this train all the time, i’ve lived in bushwick since 2014. i agree a union station would be nice, but saving 1-2 minutes on locals and transfers isn’t worth adding 20-minute headways for a mid-recovery year and 3-5 minutes of walking for a bunch of people forever. that energy could go to projects that are more impactful and less politically sticky

[@TheRailLeaguer]

@@juice-opinion Headways will not be increased. Walking distance addition will be minimal since riders can use bus lines to other stops, and there is another bus line operating below it that can take you to other stops on the line. Also, ridership at both stations is very low anyway, so the impact will be minimal. Lorimer Street is only one short block away. Consolidating the Hewes and Lorimer Street stations into one at Union Avenue would be very very impactful (in a positive way). It's not a big deal. In fact, we have consolidated two stations into one before. In 2017, when the Arthur Kill station opened in Staten Island, both the Nassau and Atlantic stations were closed off, since the new station provided sufficient alternatives. Yet I don't see you complaining about that. Also, the 1931 plan for a IND South 4th Street line also called for a Union Avenue station to replace two stations on the Jamaica El, and I'm not seeing you complain about that either.

[@amosrozet9325]

They need to make an out of system transfer between Atlantic Avenue and the Fulton (G) stop. It's really hard to get on the G from other trains otherwise. Another train that's similarly difficult to get to in Brooklyn is the A train. The Franklin Avenue shuttle helps but it takes you to the C train only?! It would make a lot of sense to move the last stop of that shuttle to Nostrand Avenue instead of Franklin Avenue. Then riders of the B,Q,2,3,4,5 would have access to the A and another stop on the LIRR.

Okay so the reason there isn't a transfer between 7th av on the B/Q and Grand Army Plaza on the 2/3 is because the map is inaccurate. The 2/3 tracks are built *around* the 7th av stop, if you look at a track map, so it'd be difficult for a transfer between the two line

[@295g295]

14:38 - You have advice of which Subway service lines offer the best transfers to another line of Subway service. Are there humans in information booths in each station that can give this advice?

[@mmmessiahhh]

Also another thing is there is a entrance on 3rd Ave that’s used way more. It has an elevator, escalator, staircase, and a ramp in the station for accessibility. Also there’s 4 elevators no one is doing all that work anymore. But Lexington Ave- 63rd is rlly crowded because it’s a really useful transfer especially since it’s a cross platform unless ur going reverse direction like from uptown to queens. F trains get fully packed here. Before this station there’s a lot of ppl on the train and it’s crowded but once u reach this stop it’s over. Everyone is squished. No point of making it underground tho

An out system transfer between the 4/5/6/J/Z at City Hall Chambers St & the R/W at City Hall also between the 4/5 at Wall and J/Z at Broad, also the 6 at Astor Place & R/W at 8th Street. Regarding the transfer between the G & J/M the entrance is at the corner of Broadway and Union, if they use Hewes they would have to dig Montrose Avenue to build the passageway, if it's Lorimer St the passageway would have to be from the G train entrance at Broadway and Union to the Western Entrance at Lorimer St

[@TheRailLeaguer]

The other solution for the G to J train transfer is to simply replace the Hewes Street and Lorimer Street stations with a single stop at Union Avenue. This would consolidate two stations with declining ridership and allow transfer between the J, M, and the G Crosstown Line at the more busier Broadway station, which has seen an increase in ridership much like the rest of the line. This can also ease congestion at Metropolitan Avenue as well.

Depends on the station, some stations that are in close proximity will allow for tree transfers in between them. Otherwise, most transfers are in the system, you do not have to worry about paying again.

[@TransitTalkNYC]

Those stations arent too far off, but a transfer there wouldn't really add much.

[@loyaltynyc8195]

I think is needed especially uptown on the upper west side the 103st station B & C lines have the 2 & 3 line connect them. MTA gunna have to build a station for the 2 & 3 trains to stop there. They go directly under the 8th Avenue line on 104st as it shows on the map. I can see it be very useful to getting to upper Manhattan and the Bronx, east of Harlem as well downtown areas faster Bc of that transfer.

[@blaksham]

That's a really good idea in concept. It doesn't help the engineering geometry that 103 street is not only a B/C local stop, but also where the A/D express tracks are still sorting themselves in the upper and lower level configuration. The ENTIRE complex will have to be underground which will require MASSIVE engineering and shoring/pinning up buildings, water/sewer/cable/electric, and the subway lines from each other (consider how MTA is approaching second ave/125th street project planning/development - and how expensive that will be). An expensive prospect indeed - but could be an amazing Upper West Side / Lower Harlem connection opportunity.

[@michaelsherrell6389]

What is the point of these transfers? To save on transit fares? Or to enhance the rider experience and flexibility? One, there is the "Un-Limited Ride MetroCards" which allow transfers among various lines without any extra cost. One historical note - prior to the mid-1970's during the late nights and weekends both #5 (late nights and weekends) and #6 (late nights) were extended to South Ferry using the same platform and loop station at the #1 trains at South Ferry. On that single platform one could easily transfer from the westside and eastside trains. The "out of system" transfer with the F-train at 63rd Street and the Lexington Avenue line at 59th Street was established because the F train along with the E train used to travel to/from Queens via the 53rd Street tunnel making a connection with the #6 train at the 51st Street station. When the F-train was moved to the 63rd Street the free connection to the Lexington Avenue line was lost, until the out of system connection was established.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

Both, especially since not everyone can afford unlimited MetroCards.

[@stevenroshni1228]

[@michaelsherrell6389]

@@stevenroshni1228 If you had closely watched the video, or really understood the transit system, you would know that video as well the comments are indeed talking about "walking transfers" which involves a rider leaving one station to walk to another station (in all kinds of weatber) to make the transfer. Here are three examples. It was mentioned that the Queens Plaza and the Queensborough Plaza stations should now be a "connected transfer station" - one is a four track underground subway station, and the other is a four track elevated station that used to be 8 tracks - neither of which are close enough for an underground passageway, escalators or elevators. Another example was "connecting" the Whitehall Street/South Ferry station to the Bowling Green station - two subway stations with some distance between them, I know both stations very well. Another always proposed idea is to remove two elevated local stations on the J line, replace them with a single elevated station that would connect to the G train in a minority community. One thing that is never mentioned is the amount of distrust that is held toward the MTA to actually accomplish such a task. The Intervale Avenue elevated in the Bronx some years back had a fire, and the MTA closed the station wanting to keep it closed forever, saying it was too expensive to repair. The community opposition discovered that the MTA's own construction estimates were way off the charts, and the actual costs of the repairs was well UNDER the original estimates. The Intervale Avenue station was closed for three years with the nearest stations a good distance away in a minority area. Do you really trust the MTA to follow through on its promises? Look up 41st Street and 10th Avenue subway station sometime.

The one at queens plaza is so I think ppl from the N, W can transfer to the E, M trains on 53rd and some stops before times sq and 34th St. I also noticed that ppl from the M, R after Jackson heights might need the 7 train so that would also be a good transfer. They have a lot of space for this but Queensboro plaza is a terrible spot as it’s over queens boulevard and a bridge. The transfer at 59th and lex and 63rd and lex i use sometimes but i don’t remember when. I don’t understand it unless like u said ur tryna get to the F on queens. Oh the 4,5,6 to the F train which idk who uses the 4,5,6 from the F when u can just take the E. But ppl live on Roosevelt island and Queensbridge so reasonable. And the transfer at the G should be to hewes st Bc ppl are tryna get to Manhattan and it’s closer to hewes st. It would work just like court sq but a tunned would have to extend until the outside station then go up. It would be very useful Bc the G train is becoming terrible towards crowding.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

An even better idea is to consolidate the Hewes Street and Lorimer Street stations together into one Union Avenue stop (which can berth 600 feet long trains), thus saving a lot of area resident's train time and walking time. You can also add an indoor passageway between 63rd/Lex and 59th/Lex to provide an additional transfer alternative to the R train. With this, plus some deinterlining, you can remove the R from Queens Blvd and have increased F and M train service over there instead (both via 63rd Street).

[@BillyMartin4Life]

The reason why I think there should be a transfer between Queensboro Plaza and Queens Plaza, is that they're much closer to each other in real life (1-2 blocks apart from each other) Additionally, I also believe the tunnel to link 59 street and 63 street stops can also happen. The walk between the stops is not as long as you think, if fact it's as long as (or maybe shorter then) the tunnel that connects 7 and 8th avenues (linking Times Square and Port Authority Bus Terminal stops).

[@mzxeternal]

That G/J/Z transfer is a good idea, but probably too expensive to do in system. What they should do, is enable it out of system once OMNI is fully up and running and metrocard is obsolesced. Same deal for Queensboro and Queens Plaza, G Fulton and Atlantic, as well as South Ferry/Bowling Green. The other ones don't seem to be worth it. One I would suggest for now, would be 86th Street on the Q and 6. An OOS transfer there would enable people on a Q train intending to transfer to the 6, to avoid some of the crowding in midtown on Lexington Avenue, at least until whenever Phase 2 of the SAS is built (if it's ever built).

[@TheRailLeaguer]

In pretty sure that Q riders on the Upper East Side can just stay on the Q train and possibly transfer to the R train for downtown service. Remember, you’re trying to get people OFF the Lexington Avenue Line. Also, the G to J transfer at Union Avenue would be a medium to long term, especially since ridership at Hewes Street and Lorimer Street stations have been declining.

[@mzxeternal]

@@TheRailLeaguer I'm referring to someone whose coming uptown on the Q and would normally transfer at Union Square for the 4 uptown to the Bronx for example. 42nd-86th street have the highest crush on the line. Giving people an ability to route around most of that, isn't a bad idea.

[@TheRailLeaguer]

@@mzxeternal It’s not really necessary since one could do that at Lex-63rd with a MetroCard or OMNY and two blocks of walking on street level. In addition, the Second Phase of the Second Avenue Subway will actually bring Q trains from 96th Street to the 125th Street station on the Lexington Avenue Line, with a transfer between the two (though honestly this thing should’ve just went straight to the Bronx). With this extension, which is in planning mode as we speak, riders on the Q train can stay on the train all the way to 125th Street and transfer to the 4 train there. The Q will then receive a service bump to accommodate additional riders.
