The Central Subway was supposed to go from Washington Square Park to Caltrain, but unfortunately its usefulness has been diminished by cutting the Pagoda Palace Station. [0] If you've ridden the 8/30/45 from North Beach to downtown, you'd notice that Stockton Street in Chinatown is a clusterfuck with pedestrians shopping, loading trucks, cars, and busses. In addition to regular commuters, there are also tourists taking these busses between Union Square and Fisherman's Wharf. Furthermore, it would be nice to have a direct line from Union Square to Caltrain. The KT/N is not as direct as going straight down 4th Street (when one actually arrives..). I agree with you that right now, the Central Subway looks a bit useless, but in its ideal form, it would have ridden by many passengers.
