The funny thing is, I always have D-train envy because it runs express through Manhattan 24 hours, even though the express service in the Bronx is limited.<BR/><BR/>Overall, my perspective is that considering that daily ridership on the subway surpasses 5 million, and the majority of households in New York City are car-free, improving, not just maintaining, mass Urbanishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370473350327406071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949516518527365452.post-15460450924524617422008-07-09T15:09:00.000-04:002008-07-09T15:09:00.000-04:00Geez, how many express trains do you need?

When I stand at the platform at 125th St., waiting for the "D" to Norwood Bronx, there are twice as many A trains as the D express. And the "A's" are half empty, while the D is standing room only, with barely room for anyone to get on. Not to mention that the D express ends at 7 pm.

It's already been almost 2 years that the A has been running local almost every weekend along with other, more serious, inconveniences (like running the train in two parts from 168th St or replacing that segment entirely with a bus shuttle).Urbanishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00370473350327406071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5949516518527365452.post-57226044148480269482008-06-19T18:47:00.000-04:002008-06-19T18:47:00.000-04:00Yes, not having more express service is kind of lo...Yes, not having more express service is kind of lousy but speaking strictly from a crowding point of view I cannot argue with their thinking. The 1 is far more overcrowded than the A, which is fairly comfortable most of the time. <BR/><BR/>The construction every weekend is maddening but it happens to every subway line at some point - remember when the B/D service over the Manhattan Bridge was Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
