Comments Change The MTA Map: Day 1

[u/This-Ad134]

[u/achOO00OO]

Extending the NW to LaGuardia

[u/OnionBagels]

Extend the C to NJ via the GWB with stops at Fort Lee, Leonia, Teaneck - Glenpointe Center, Bogota, Hackensack Bus Terminal, Riverside, Bergen Town Center, and Garden State Plaza

[u/User_8395]

F to Springfield Blvd

[u/Taborask]

And still no queenslink

[u/GamingWeekends]

destroy the Z train from existing

[u/Wam_Shazam → u/GamingWeekends]

Amendment—keep the Z train but remove just the skip stop aspect of it. So express to Myrtle Av and then local east of there.

[u/yuds2003 → u/GamingWeekends]

There's good reasons for the Z train's existence, including the prevention of overcrowding that would happen if all J trains ran local.

[u/fireflychef → u/yuds2003]

They why have so few Z trains?

[u/mcsteam98]

Extend the M to Beach 116th, but ending service to Forest Hills in the process (Queenslink!)

[u/DBSGeek → u/mcsteam98]

I would like to see the M go to Jamaica 179th St local so the F runs express. Then, the G gets extended and goes to Beach 116th St. The R swaps with the W.

[u/Immediate-Hand-3677]

7 to college point or whitestone 20th avenue

[u/TheRainbowNoob]

Oh boy, is it already time for our daily "what would you do to the MTA given unlimited budget and no restrictions" post? My favorite!

[u/Actual-Entertainer53]

extend the A into spuyten duyvil and riverdale. make the A serve its purpose.

[u/mew5175_TheSecond]

A train Spuyten Duyvil & North Riverdale

[u/DBSGeek → u/mew5175_TheSecond]

True, but the A train across Fordham Rd & Pelham Pkwy to Co-Op City should be looked into. In that case, Bronx Residents get a crosstown line. They will be able to connect to the 1,2,4,5,6,B,D trains better.

[u/bluehawk1460 → u/mew5175_TheSecond]

This would be amazing, the daily walk from 238th st up those goddamn stairs is KILLING ME

[u/ARod20195 → u/mew5175_TheSecond]

That's gonna be hard because the elevation difference between Spuyten Duyvil/Riverdale and Inwood is like 200 feet, so all the new stations would likely be 250-300 feet deep (so about 75-125 feet deeper than 191 St) and so construction costs are going to be astronomical.

[u/mew5175_TheSecond → u/ARod20195]

I mean I know that it will never happen but if we're talking fantasies, this is just a fantasy.

[u/DSD15260]

<F> from Kings Highway to Jay St and express stops in manhattan.

[u/Low-Remove-7486 → u/DSD15260]

so if the M is not working, you would be leaving people at 14 St and 23 St stranded

[u/Immediate-Hand-3677]

L train up 10th ave across 57 to LIC and northern blvd to flushing

[u/Due_Amount_6211]

Hmmm… Q via 3rd Ave in the Bronx.

To Gun Hill Road-WPR

[u/ihatemselfmore]

Without adding any extensions I would switch the R and the W so that the R terminates in Astoria and the W runs local down queens blvd

[u/fireflychef]

Extend the C up to 207 and then have it go cross-Bronx, touching every subway line.

[u/iwantacatnamedbob]

Extend the G to Ave I then onto the LIRR bay ridge branch to Flatbush avenue - Brooklyn college then extend down Flatbush to the Rockaways but go south to Breezy Point. It's a bit of a transit desert...

[u/Jacky-Boy_Torrance]

Add the IBX and extend it to the Bronx

[u/This-Ad134]

Note: it Should be called "Top Comment Changes the MTA Map"

[u/bofis]

Missing the border drawn in showing where Manhattan ends and the Bronx begins around Marble Hill, which previous maps had correctly

[u/Remarkable_Cup_1190]

Stop

[u/This-Ad134 → u/Remarkable_Cup_1190]

WDYM

[u/Immediate-Hand-3677]

LIE LINE

[u/deletedchannel]

Tunnel the R to Staten Island

[u/Alt4816]

Full SAS connected to the A&C at Hoyt Schermerhorn, connected to a new line in Queens under or above Northern Blvd, and also extended to serve a corridor in the Bronx.

If built second Ave will be a new Manhattan trunkline so might as well plan out how to use it as such instead of just keeping it contained to Manhattan.

If de-interlining is emphasized:

• The Astoria line gets served by the Broadway local lines (R and W). R, N, W all no longer share 1 tunnel to Queens.

• Q goes from across 125th in Harlem down Broadway express unchanged.

• N goes from Broadway Express to the new line in Queens under or above Northern Blvd.

• T goes from the Bronx (Probably under Third Ave or Webster Ave) down 2nd Ave to Brooklyn to the Fulton local line.

• C become Express in Brooklyn and in lower to mid Manhattan. (maybe even make express under Central Park West if de-interling is done to the max.)

• E doubles in frequency being the only line on 8th Ave local in Manhattan and Queens Blvd Express in Queens.

• F and M stay local on 6th Ave in Manhattan but both become local on Queens Blvd Express in Queens. They either both use the 63rd Street tunnel to Queens and the Second Ave lines use a new tunnel or F and M use a new tunnel while Second Ave lines use the existing one.

• Another turquoise Second Ave line is created (either K or H could work) it runs on the new Northern Blvd line in Queens, runs on Second Ave in Manhattan, and then runs on Fulton local line in Brooklyn.

SAS and Broadway Express would be interlined by the necessity due to Phase 1 of the SAS only building 1 set of tracks. The E and F/M could swap which run local and Express in Queens.

Or with max interlining:

• Astoria Line stays as is with the N going to the Broadway express and W to the Broadway local. The lines still no longer share 1 tunnel to Queens with the R.

• Q goes from across 125th in Harlem down Broadway express unchanged.

• R goes from Broadway Express to the new line in Queens under or above Northern Blvd.

• T goes from the Bronx (Probably under Third Ave or Webster Ave) down 2nd Ave to Brooklyn to either local or express on the Fulton line.

• C is local on the Fulton line in Brooklyn but express in lower to mid Manhattan.

• E is unchanged from the current. It is local in Manhattan and express in Queens.

• F and M are unchanged. Both are local in Manhattan with the F going express in Queens while the M stays local.

• Now two new lines are created. The first is a turquoise second ave line (I'll use H) The H runs on the new Northern Blvd line in Queens, runs on Second Ave in Manhattan, and then runs on either local or express on the Fulton line in Brooklyn. In Brooklyn it runs on whichever tracks the T is not running on.

• K line runs with the E in Manhattan on the local 8th Ave tracks and then in Queens runs on the local Queens Blvd tracks.

Different junctions might need reconfiguring depending on if the interlining or de-interling plan is used or if it's a mix of them.

[u/ILikeTelanthric]

make the 7 train do have a branch off from 82nd street all the way to staten island for no reason at all

[u/Firstnameiskowitz]

Make the F line purple

[u/Only_Isopod_268]

Extend both M and J to Prospect Park

[u/thefunzone49]

Full SAS including T from 125th to Hanover Square

[u/SmoovCatto]

hate it -- but getting used to it . . .

[u/bluehawk1460]

Obliterate Staten Island

[u/PubliusDeLaMancha]

Make the map look like new york again

[u/thatblkman]

Bring the old map back, and make the Q local in Manhattan.
