Okay, I see your points, and it would be better if the MTA ran the B 24/7 as opposed to how limited it already runs but it should run all the way to Norwood 205th Street local and D service should be Express in the Bronx, but do you agree with my A and C train plan?

The (D) only runs EXP at Peak hours, plus its not a 4 track it's a 3 track, The B can go to 168 or Bedford Park Blvd, the B already ran 24/7 back in the day it wouldn't be a problem but think moneywise.

Since when does the D use the EXP track? all i see is a bunch of R trains heading towards the yard or going into service. the B and D are fine the way they are, since Brighton Express is coming back the B has no problems whatsoever. what really needs to get improved is the 4 Ave line and Broadway line. The R is a long ass line and in terms of headways, they pretty suck. what i really think needs to get done is the SAS complete up to 96 St.  Have the Q extend up there, and Bring back the W from Astoria to 95 St via the R. and have the N run EXP again via Broadway. that way less crowding in Manhattan and Brooklyn and a extra local in Brooklyn as well for people who rely on he R so much.

I completely agree with you about running the B 24/7. The B line is pretty much the only line that provides a swift, quick, and efficient ride to and from South Brooklyn. It can save almost 15 minutes off a trip. If the MTA had the resources, running the B 24/7 or at least 18/7 would greatly benefit the quality of life in South Brooklyn.

However both the B and the D can not terminate at 205th Street because there is not enough capacity there to turn around 2 full service lines.

I do agree that the thread went over board here and there, but this post totally killed it.

from a realistic point of view:

Potential Candidates that can be removed:
(Q) - the N train serves all of it's stations, basically

(Z) - the J train serves all of it's stations, basically

(D) - shares same terminal as the B in the Bronx and Manhattan. the G, if trackage permits, can take over the D in brooklyn, as it will not be possible through the B.

Potential candidates that CAN face a reroute:
(A) - can be permanently assigned a single terminal, either Lefferts blvd, Rockaway Park, or Far Rockaway, rather than 3

(B) - should the current Q be eliminated, the B can terminate in Coney Island.

(C) - can be extended from Euclid ave, to either Lefferts blvd, Rockaway Park, or Far Rockaway. Late nights, it can run as a shuttle from Euclid Ave, instead of it's current Manhattan Terminal.

(4) and (5) - can permanently terminate at Bowling Green, as a cost saving measure, rather than Brooklyn, with the (2) and (3) retaining these Brooklyn terminals.

Rockaway (S) - should the A or C terminate in Far Rockaway (the other terminating in Lefferts Blvd), it can run as a full-time shuttle. it can also be re-lettered as it's fomer H letter, or as a K, respectively.

You can't take the (Q) out, you can't replace the (Q) with having the (B) running local.  My side of Brooklyn will have a war after that.  Brighton riders need that express, we don't like having the local from Sheepshead Bay to Prospect, it's bad enough we have both trains running local all the way up because of the renovations. (They've reopened Ave M and Ave H for those who doesn't know.)

yeah, just saying what could be possibly removed, not that it will be eliminated. i mean pretty much the current (Q) replaces the (W)

The (B)(Q) could never possibly be removed, the only ways they can be removed is if there is another service that would take it's place.  Like I've said many times in this thread, you definitely need a weekday express service in Brighton, maybe not so much a weekend, but definitely a weekday service.  Plus you definitely need a Broadway/6th Service in that section.

in terms of the B and Q can't the <Q> train be brought back or make the B local and make a <B> train as for broadway service isn't there already
broadway transfers that are available
