2der TfLByeBye The M now helps the F J and Z with transfers to the Broadway El during weekdays, but the MTA would be cooked if they did that change
2der 2der Between 1976 and 2010, Delancey and Essex Streets were so crowded (due to the K’s elimination) that they merged the M and V
2der TfLByeBye Yes. The F would basically be the 1st half of the crowding (and the worst), which transfer to the J and/or Z (which would be equally crowded), the 3rd and final phase is to transfer to the shuttle (which delays Z service)
TfLByeBye 2der so, the shuttle delays the j, so the crowding shifts to the j/z, and that crowding shifts to the shuttle (I’m just talking along, I don’t really understand (actually, the crowds shift into more stations, in turn, overcrowding them)
2der TfLByeBye No, the shuttle delays the Z because the shuttle uses the express track to terminate, which the Z uses to skip more stops
2der 2der They said the MTA CONFIRMED they’d do this craziness. I guess the MTA just went “Screw you, riders” and threw (in the future) a wrench in their plans
2der 2der Even one of those map makers (Van something, his actual name is Andrew Lynch) even showed the F & V in his latest map
2der TfLByeBye The M (if it’s not a shuttle) would probably be extended to Coney Island all times, and the W to Bay Parkway via West End Express
2der 2der Best you protest around the MTA and shout KEEP THE M AS IS before they add crowds to the subway
2der TfLByeBye They’re the only Nassau Street lines, that’s why they’re useful (and the Z skips 7 stops, but not MYRTLE with a transfer to the shuttle)
