How's that direct train from midtown to JFK coming along? -- nm - Mop Jan 23, 21:00 6
- It's not even something that's being discussed. -- nm - ty97 Jan 23, 21:03 5
  - Exactly. -- nm - Mop Jan 23, 21:03 4
    - No one's asking for it. An extension of an existing line to LGA is something people are fighting for but nothing for JFK. -- nm - Krusty Jan 23, 21:30
    - (also, who goes to JFK unless you are flying international?) -- nm - ty97 Jan 23, 21:05 1
      - Those people would never ride a train! They're limo people! -- nm - Mop Jan 23, 21:41
    - It took us 80 years to build Phase 1 of the Second Ave Subway. We take what we can get at this point. -- nm - ty97 Jan 23, 21:04
What now? It's actually happening? It wasn't just some long drawn out practical joke by the MTA? -- nm - znufrii Jan 23, 21:00 1
- I think it was a joke and then someone misunderstood and accidentally built it. - ty97 Jan 23, 21:03
still can’t get from Queens to Brooklyn directly on MTA tho, right? -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 23, 20:53 8
- Why do you disrespect the G train? -- nm* - ty97 Jan 23, 20:55 7
  - It's right below me and it's rather busy now. I wish they'd add on cars so it's a full train. -- nm* - Krusty Jan 23, 21:31
  - And the LIRR Atlantic Ave. branch? -- nm - znufrii Jan 23, 21:10 1
    - Brooklyn people already fretting service reductions to feed East Side access -- nm - ty97 Jan 23, 21:11
  - And they are in the early early (earlyearlyearly) planning stages of the IBX so maybe in 40 years. -- nm* - ty97 Jan 23, 20:56 3

      - Is BQX ever happening, do we think? -- nm - znufrii Jan 23, 21:09 1
        
        I would expect that focus on IBX hurts the chances. - ty97 Jan 23, 21:12
