Just curious, I like the addition of the V on QBL local and via 63rd Street to support the M. With the Myrtle Junction grade separation likely not happening given the NIMBYs. You could have run the F fully express on Culver and have the V run local with the G and have both of them end at Chruch Ave. Would that be better than Kings Hwy since the V and F create a merge conflict agan just south of Chruch ave or is Church Ave a garbage terminal like Forrest Hills or is the G not that frequent? The tail track layout at Chruch Ave look similar to the track layout at Forrest Hills minus the leads to a yard.

Interesting proposal, but I don't think there's enough CBTC train cars in the system to handle adding back the V train, even when the R211 order is fulfilled. Plus, you still have the N/R interlining problem at 60th St.

Okay, maybe, I don't know, stop confusing people and just put a clear and straight idea down: Extend one of the local services, preferably the R, to Jamaica-179th Street, if you do plan to reimplement the G. Just saying, it would most likely fit. Otherwise, build a new terminal platform at 71st with yard relays under the existing platforms. That would make way more sense.

my familiarity is almost totally on the R & Q, so I am always gravitating towards those lines, as being prominent, however, I can see the G alone serves an area which is not linked by any other of the major lines... one can say, it sort of the peripheral line riding through the hinterland of the city, and those kind of suburban connectors have a place, but, it seems to be linking two parts of town which, whilst they have a lot of transit, are in no way central or important in the scheme of NYC... is it right (in terms of the needs of passenger flow) to have a part of the system not serving Manhattan in any way?

Now i gotta take the F before they do this of this happens

i feel like you should have done the results for both directions to give it more of a fair rating

You seem not to understand the E train is already heavily delayed because it shares track with the F train. This plan will now make the E train way more delayed. All thanks to people wanting “their” train to move faster!🙄😒

What is Q-B-L ?

> 3:25 <- The system with both (F) and (V) trains would confuse German language speakers.

Many years ago, the F ran on 53rd Street. In 2001 when the V debuted, the F was rerouted to 63rd Street. MANY F riders were pissed off. The F no longer stopped at Lexington/53rd, which is a major transfer point, and Court Square. F ridership dropped and E trains became jam packed. Ridership along 63rd Street has increased over the years. This was due to the new transfer to the Second Avenue Q train, a new entrance at Lexington/63rd, and the opening of Cornell Tech on Roosevelt Island. Still, I’m sure that the vast majority of F riders will prefer that it operate on 53rd. Even with CBTC, there isn’t enough tracks space on the 6th Avenue for the F, M, and V. Plus, the G terminates at Church Avenue. That creates a choke point. And even if these ideas were feasible, it would cause too many route variations. This would be confusing for riders. As far as Myrtle Avenue, you can’t just knock down buildings to increase M service.

Can you make a video of your ideal NYC subway and regional rail?

A station on top of the yard? And what about linden plaza?

Unless every train terminates at 179th I say no. 179th should be the terminal for F,M,R and can even include the G. Keep the F express until the last stop

This is too much work. Just swap the F and M and just make the F run via 63rd on light nights and weekends. People will get used to it as they always do. Plus the MTA is not going to ever put 3 train lines on one track ever. The NRW are only a brief exception because the W is just an additions local N/R train

No wonder the E train feels like such a short route it was one of the non completed train routes

When will you make part 2 to what can U.S. transit do with the military budget?

As an older person the spur was supposed to end at Hillside and Springfield.

3rd rail electrification on the Port Jefferson Branch was in stalled as far as East Northport almost 50 years ago and almost implemented. Killed by NIMBY.’s and their stooge politicians (democrats).

Objection. From Queens Boulevard, you get an express ride to 53rd Street with the E train, an express ride to 63rd Street with the F train, and a local ride to 53rd Street with the M train.

I do have another question. I remember in your previous videos, you did mention that the MTA has planned to swap the F and M in 2020 until the pandemic came. I have tried my best to look for it online but couldn’t find it anywhere. Please show me the link of where I can find this information.

I loved this video but one small correction I have to make is that it wasn’t that 60th Avenue was the “intended” street and the others were added in later as likely all the streets in that area predate the street numbers entirely. The thing is the repeat numbers tend to be on shorter streets that would leave gaps in the numbering elsewhere

I wish the k train could make a open comeback on Eighth Avenue line

Before y’all comment that “6th Avenue and Queens Blvd can’t handle three services on one track” remember from December 1988-July 2001 during the southern side manhattan bridge closure reconstruction the 6th Avenue express tracks was used by three services in one sitting B D and Q trains note the Q train at the time operated on 6th Avenue as they all used the north side manhattan bridge and from December 2001 until April 2010 they was a brief moment when Queens Blvd Local had theee services during evenings the G R and V trains. Off topic but semi related during the northern side manhattan bridge closure reconstruction April 1986 - December 1988 the B D and Q all operated on the Broadway express tracks and used the south side and then again July 2001 - February 2004 the Broadway express also had three services on it the Q train the W train which at the time operated express and the <Q> Brighton express train since the <Q> despite being the de facto express variant of the Q train was “technically” considered its own route. Just wait for 6th Avenue CBTC since CBTC should allow for around 30TPH and it might be possible although this is what I recommend. Queenslink proposal and F/M swap but instead of the G train revive the V train starting at Forest Hills via queens Blvd local and 6th Avenue local but go 63rd Street instead and extended to Church Avenue via Culver Local while the F train operates via Culver Express. The V train would start off as a Rush Hour only route to serve as a “pilot demo program” to test out the potential of this new routing to see if its effective and if proven popular the V train would become a weekday only service operating from 6:30 AM-9:30 PM. The F train would run local in Brooklyn during late nights and weekends and the M train would be expanded to operate during daytime weekend hours on queens Blvd and 63rd Street. Late nights the F train goes via 63rd Street, M train would be extend chambers street during the late nights and a “shuttle route” would serve the Queenslink section when the M train isn’t operating.

Honestly MTA should’ve just swap the F/M after the 63rd street project it would’ve made more sense?

Honestly I think this could work but people will be super confused

It was so Much easer to have the terminate at 21st St. Add the V local over 53

The reason the Chicago & Western Indiana station is called "Little Englewood" is because the "main" station was Englewood Station, or Englewood Union Station, which hosted the Pennsylvania Railroad, the Rock Island, the New York Central, and to a very lesser extent the Nickel Plate. Not only did the Rock cross the Pennsylvania's tracks at the station but it was also where the Central's tracks curved to parallel the Pennsylvania, this is where the rivalry between the two east coast giants was on display as the Broadway Limited and 20th Century Limited raced each other eastward after making their station stop. The Chicago & Western Indiana's station in Englewood did not have the same thrill and was regarded as "Little Englewood"

V line wont comeback. all delete. if you want R211 option 2 order 437 go to East New York yard. mostly 4 car unit. V line still discontinued wont come back

Isn’t this kinda ignoring that the F and V would have to merge at Jay Street? This plan partially makes sense but you’re making it too complicated. Just do all of this but keep the late night/weekend F and have the V end at 2nd Ave

Here's my POV on this, 1. HELLLLLL NO. NO F ON LATE NIGHTS & WEEKENDS PLUS ONLY TERMINATING AT KINGS HIGHWAY???? I'm sorry but that's a really bad idea. Just because in order for that to work, Kings Highway will need to be remade to be a 4 track station, right now its a 3 track station with the middle being used for terminating. Now keep in mind, 179 Street is a 4 track station with island platforms, plus 8 tracks for storing trains when not in use. (could be more), Kings Highway only has that one track, with the yard being 2 stations away. Besides that if your making a train go into the yard for a layover, your gonna have to cross the Coney Island bound track, which blocks traffic, and lemme tell you, the trains go slow entering and sometimes has to wait for 2 minutes just for the train to pass and the signal to turn green. With that in mind, that's just a bad idea in general and will not work out. 2. The F may be slow but its fucking useful, as someone who uses the F past Kings Highway and commutes using it, so just cutting service in general and turning it into a B train type line is just not gonna be good for the riders. 3. Now returning the V might sound good on paper, but that's 5 trains on 6th avenue, 3 on the local track. Plus, how is Rush hour gonna work out? The V can't go on the express track 24/7 in both directions after Church Avenue as it switches from a 4 track to a 3 track operation. Plus the F Express operates local during the elevated section of Culver and express after Church Avenue.

V seems like a temporary fix

Maybe the "V" via Second Avenue with the "Q". Than it would become the Nassau Street via 4th Avenue Brooklyn to 95th Street? But do we really need three local services on 6th Avenue? But this is the only way i see the "V". Once Second Avenue is extended south of 72nd Street, the "V" would operate with the "T" to Brooklyn. The "T" operating along with the "C" to Euclid Ave using Court Street as an entry point.

You're also forgetting the M-line runs shorter trains than the F-line

Or they could do this instead of having the V train to coney island why not create a transfer point for the f and v service at kings highway and create a shuttle from kings hey to coney island

You are ridiculous! The way the system is designed is to balance out the crowd. The problem in the past was local passengers had to get off the next express stop. Now they can stay on the "M". This is sound planning. Meanwhile, the "F" train crowding is reduced considerably. This is good, because the "F" has a lot more stops by itself. So people rely on it. The "E" can continue to survive as the only express via 53rd Street. There's no need for a "V". The ridership is not there to justify it. Plus we got the "M", which replace the "V". If the "V" does return, which it won't, the "M" should go back to Brooklyn. And the "V" to Second Avenue. Sending the "V" any further would compete with the capacity of the "F". The "F goes to 179th Street and needs clear frequency. Some "Fs" can be express via Brooklyn. Maybe 1/3rd. But only until Church Street. The ridership really drops off via McDonald Avenue.

Please DO NOT make the F train behave like the B🤦🏻‍♂️ in terms of not running the F on nights & weekends.

6:04 If you are going to add more service on 63rd. One of the lines has to be axed, In this case it is the (M) because of the amount of interlining the (M) has with the (E) (F) (J) (R) & (Z) trains which severely reduces capacity. The (V) is a better option because service impacts will be minimal.

I live at Greenpoint avenue on the g train . I used to have a one seat ride to queens center mall in 20 min and a 10 min ride to Steinway street.. it can now take me 20-30 min with that transfers. On weekends I have to transfer twice once at court square and again to the local at either queens plaza or Jackson heights

5:14 If one line should be removed from QBL it is the (M) because of the timers and unreliability. This is why the locals remain mostly empty because people want to transfer to the express instead.

I'd say F via 53rd, V local Church to Continental via 63rd. M Metropolitan to 96th st. G Church to Continental all times, E local on Queens Blvd after 1am. R later service to Continental to 1am.

I disagree with the (V) running to Coney Island. It's a local service like it was intended to be. The (F) is unreliable due to the amount of stops it has to make. The (G) is basically the (F) Train with untapped extra capacity. A simplified option is the (V) cut back to Church Avenue and the (G) extended to Kings Highway to make up for the short turned (F) Trains as someone who's ridden both the (F) & (G) to see the inconsistencies and unreliability.

0/10 Video No (M) to Rockaway Park B116th St

Well for starters the 4 is extended to New Lots & N trains run thru Montague Tunnel late nights so service change wouldn't be a problem. Next, on Weekends the N runs local in Manhattan but express in Bk, but the Q runs express in Manhattan & local in Bk. Ppl need to READ & PAY ATTENTION to where they're going!!

F train should run at 63th street line as late nights and weekends when M train is not running on the weekends and late nights.

Trains at Forest Hill type last stops should not waste time kicking people off. Let those idiots stay on the train and Only kick them off if the train has to go to the yard

No F train in Brooklyn on weekends? The people are used to that already 😂

how I would improve this: 1. With the F and V thing to Coney, how about making the F express and the V local in Brooklyn, splice up service frequencies so there's less F trains (maybe, like, 10tph or something), and the V ends at Church Avenue (limited rush hour through service to Kings Highway) (2nd Avenue on Weekends/Overnights) 2. Taking that into consideration, we should keep BOTH the F and V on QBL during Weekends (written before you pointed that out). F trains, weekend service should be Jamaica-Coney via 53rd *and Culver Local* like usual (or 96th Street-Coney via Culver Local), but during overnights, they would just run between Coney Island and (something between 2nd Avenue and Queens Plaza, maybe 96th Street or something), and V trains would be extended to Jamaica-179th during OVERNIGHTS ONLY (since the F would run to Jamaica-179th during weekends). E and R trains would be unaffected, and... well, it's not like the M runs to QBL during off-weekends. Maybe send it to 96th to boost 6th Avenue Service? 3. To implement, starting small, like diverting a couple rush-hour F services via 53rd and some rush-hour Ms to 96th, would be a good starting point. The V shouldn't come for a while... 4. Won't 6th Avenue Local get overloaded with like 25 trains an hour? I don't think 6th Avenue was supposed to hold more than (or even) 30 trains an hour in emergencies, LET ALONE REGULAR SERVICE 5. what about just getting rid of M service on QBL altogether outside of rush hours and rerouting it somewhere more useful, like 2nd Avenue (at least until the T begins existing) 6. To Combat Point 4, Reroute F trains to the express tracks on 6th Avenue between 6 AM and 7 PM. Lots of riders, especially from Brooklyn, will thank you. 7. You confuse me to hell Basically what I'm saying about Steps 1 and 2: F Weekdays-Jamaica 179th to Coney Island, via Hillside Local, QBL Express, 53rd Street, 6th Avenue Express, Rutgers Street, and Culver Express (Jay Street-Church Avenue, local the rest of the way) M Weekdays-71st or 96th to Brooklyn, via QBL Local/2nd Avenue, 63rd Street, 6th Avenue Local, etc etc V Weekdays-71st to Church Avenue, via QBL Local, 63rd Street, 6th Avenue Local, Rutgers Street, and Culver Local F Weekends-Jamaica 179th to Coney Island, via Hillside Local, QBL Express, 53rd Street, 6th Avenue Local, Rutgers Street, and Culver Local V Weekends-71st to 2nd Avenue or Church Avenue/Smith-9th Street, via QBL Local, 63rd Street, and 6th Avenue Local (+Rutgers Street/Culver Local for Brooklyn) F Overnights-96th to Coney Island, via 2nd Avenue, 6th Avenue local, Rutgers Street, and Culver Local V Overnights-Jamaica 179th to 2nd Avenue, via Hillside Local, QBL Local, 63rd Street, and 6th Avenue Local chng.it/CxKW2W9KMZ chng.it/CxKW2W9KMZ chng.it/CxKW2W9KMZ

MTA should extend the E train down to Sutphin and Rockaway Blvd.

I Love this video Bring back the V

Hey man, I did some research and I think you should be aware that the MTA had NOT PLANNED to swap the F and M Trains. That was ONLY TEMPORARY so that improvements can be done to replace tracks and make repairs in the 63rd Street Tunnel. So I think they are trying to improve train service between Manhattan and Queens for the F and M Trains
