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)
