The Q doesn't really replace the 6 though. I lived on the UES and worked around Grand Central so taking the Q would've probably doubled my commute. The 6 is a nightmare in the morning, but the Q actually helped with that. Anyone going to the west side would take the Q instead of the 6 to 51st to transfer to the E. I only lived about 2 miles from work so as long as there wasn't a foot of snow on the ground, I would just walk. 40 minutes of fresh air beats 20 minutes on a stuffy train every time. It was definitely a welcome addition though. It probably takes half the time to get to Penn Station from the UES now.
