Future of the NYC Subway to 2050

[@stevenroshni1228]

Nothing is going to happen until we have leadership that understands supporting public transport also includes funding it.

Yeah, hopefully we have a more fiscally conservative candidate that could redirect welfare funds to support transportation.

[@jointransitassociation]

@@Jorge-lh6px That is never going to happen. US "fiscal conservatives" cut everything, and that includes the MTA. In fact, that is the very first thing that they want to cut.

[@leecornwell5632]

Some one said that on the Red circle 🔴 8 proposals between Wakefield and New Lots Avenue. I said the same dam thing. Bring back the God dam powder blue 🔵 8 Thrid Ave Elevated line where it belongs between Gun hill road Clearmount Webster Boston road Bronx and Batincal gardens Frordam plaza and Battery park place or chatmam Square or south Ferry under ground on Thrid Avenue. Leave the 3 5 2 elevated lines to new lots Ave Brooklyn and Flatbush Ave or flatlands Avenue Brooklyn. I tell you one thing they are definitely not gonna take the 5 trains away from the 2 lines and put the 5 on the 4 Jerome Ave line. Another thing to the brand new 8 Thrid Ave Elevated line back will be elevated in the south Bronx and under ground in Manhattan on Thrid Avenue I tell you that right now. Another thing is gonna happen. The Pelham 6 line is definitely gonna be extended to co op city mall I tell you that right now.

[@leecornwell5632]

Why would the MTA take a way the And replacing the 3 trains to New Lots Avenue Brooklyn or gateway mall Brooklyn. The 8 will never replace the 3 trains to New Lots Avenue. They definitely need to extend the new iRT lines to different routes.

[@leecornwell5632]

I did not forget about the R62AS R62S has a green 8 . Even though it they have a green circle 🟢 8 the circle green 8 could still run on the Thrid Avenue Elevated line. I have a real spriital feeling before the R62AS R62S retires on the roster they are definitely gonna slip the powder blue 🔵 8 Thrid Ave Elevated line like they had the R62AS JFK Airport rolling signs. Including the powder blue 🔵 6 and the powder blue 🔵 3 on the R62AS and the Red diamond 1/3 rolling signs.

10th Avenue Station of 7 line (between the Times Square Station and the Hudson Yards-34th Street Station).

[@rmdvto]

What about 8th Ave Port Authority to connect with ACE? Is that considered too close to Times Square to have another station?

[@RonGerstein]

@Vajamjam Eighth Avenue is only one avenue block from the Times Square Station, AND, more important, the Times Square Station has a free underground passage transfer connecting the 42nd Street Station of the ACE to the Times Square Station. Your original comment is redundant.

[@henrymanzano2201]

That's what should have happened. Have the 7 continue down 10th Avenue to 14 Street,and extend the L ,where both lines would connect. The 7 stops could have been: 10 Avenue (at 41st Street) Hudson Yards - 34 Street 28 Street 23 Street 14 Street- 10 Avenue. The L terminus would just be known as 10 Avenue

[@RonGerstein]

As we speaking of the worses subway lines that could of been kept instead of wasting billions and billions and billions of dollars tairing down the extra elevated lines.

The MTA is actually moving forward with Rogers deinterlining according to a recent meeting. I can’t say how exactly, but my guess is their 8 train proposal.

[@leecornwell5632]

The 8 will not go to New Lots Avenue Brooklyn because they have the 3 4 2 5 trains going to New Lots Avenue Brooklyn. There is no need to have the 8 trains running on the seventh avenue lines. The 8 Thrid Ave Elevated line only in the south Bronx between Gun hill road Clearmount Webster Boston road Bronx and Batincal gardens Frordam plaza and 149 street connecting to the 2 5 trains and 138 street connecting to the 6 Pelham and parkchester and Brooklyn Bridge bound 6 trains on the lower level and 139 street it will definitely run under ground on Thrid Avenue in Manhattan.

The N is definitely gonna stay on 4th Avenue Brooklyn because the D trains runs on west End Brooklyn. You definitely know the W does not go to Brooklyn. The B trains does not run on the weekends.
