Honestly, I'd just love to see the 7 actually be a functional subway line. It's the only one near my girlfriend's house in Queens, and it's often completely non-functional; IIRC, it's completely shut down Queens-bound for the next 11 weekends or something like that. Constant problems.
- bradleyjg 15y agoThe weekend is the MTA's Achilles heel. You are much better off at 3AM on a Tuesday than Noon Saturday. At least in the outer boros, they try and keep the lines in Manhatten south of 110 at least vaguely useable. I don't know what the solution is though, they have to do maintenance and upgrades sometime or other.
- Piskvorrr 15y agoIn Prague, the metro system runs 4AM to 0AM - all maintenance and upgrades are done in the four-hour window without revenue moves. It's a system that's an order of magnitude smaller (in revenue track length) than New York subway, though - I'm not sure how this would scale.
