> The subway for people commuting into LIC for work is probably currently fairly empty, so the subway could accommodate them. (The same cannot be said of the reverse. Commuting from Astoria, Queens or Williamsburg, Brooklyn into Manhattan for work during rush hour is horrible). I lived in Greenpoint and Sunnyside for 3 years ~5 years ago and either took a train from LIC into the city or through LIC. They were always busy. Just because no one is going to LIC for work doesn't mean that they don't have to use the same trains that would be used to go to LIC. The 7 is a crowded line as are the orange and blue lines that go through. The only line that wouldn't be incredibly crowded is the G, and even that isn't fairly empty going to Court as it's a popular way to get to midtown if you live near the G.
