Also "L" Train with genefrication taking over Bushwick, Ridgewood and now even into East NY & Bed-Stuv would not the same problems that caused the downfall of the skip-stop on '1/9' line on Broadway occur here? Many riders boarding at 'local' stops such as Montrose, Morgan, Dekalb/Wyckoff, etc.

Lex Express Lex Express Lord of the Post Registered: 06/27/02 Posts: 15779 Loc: Springfield Gardens, Queens	Most of the L's ridership is at Rockaway Parkway, Broadway Junction, Myrtle, Graham Avenue, Lorimer Street, Bedford, and 1st Avenue. I think skip-stop could work, but the "local" stops wouldn't want to lose service. _________________________ "This stop is Silver Spring. Red Line to Glenmont. Next stop is Forest Glen".

NX Sea Beach Express NX Sea Beach Express Bus Driver Registered: 12/16/05 Posts: 446 Loc: Brooklyn	As a prospective L train rider at an apparent local stop nearer Manhattan, I would not be happy to see my service halved for a likely negligible time savings from my stop. Maybe folks farther out on the line could benefit, but I would not. I suggest the route stay as is. _________________________ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 A B C D E F G J L M N Q R S V W Z

Now just like Upper Manhattan on Broadway(#1)line exploding in population, the people at 'local' stops in northeast Brooklyn near "L" line, i mentioned above would not be too happy. If the TA was smart they should re-open the Crystie St connection for Bklyn.-Broadway line residents along Williamsburg, Bushwick, Bed Stuv. and more to relieve overcrowding on the "A" & "L" lines.

The line is too short, and there are only 2 tracks, so this would be impossible. The L train already is too crowded, so running a skip-stop would not help it at all. Just confuse all the foreigners enough as it is. Maybe running it in 2 sections during rush hr might be better. _________________________ Stupidity is not a handicap. Pay full fare!

Hey guys where would 'short trip' "L" trains be stored at if it terminated at Mytrle? Unless there a 3rd(middle track)somewhere between Dekalb & Halsey it makes no sense either.

It does not help the majority of riders & will be more hassle than it's worth. _________________________ EOT 10/15/07 Blog

Lex Express Lex Express Lord of the Post Registered: 06/27/02 Posts: 15779 Loc: Springfield Gardens, Queens	The L has several disparities. There are busy stations like Bedford Avenue. And there's stations like Bushwick-Aberdeen. Skip stop would provide quicker and more frequent service to the busier stations while providing less service to the less busy stations. Skip stop can work on the L. _________________________ "This stop is Silver Spring. Red Line to Glenmont. Next stop is Forest Glen".

No skip-stop for the L but hopefully the CBTC will allow for more TPH and therefore less crowding.
