When the subway was first being built 100 years ago, no one anticipated the amount of growth NYC would see in the coming years. For example, the ![(L)]()
has become the worlds top 10 lines that is a widely used subway line. The ![(7)]()
passes though all the neighborhoods in Queens, hence why it's called the international express.
But there's a problem - will the subway system be able to handle this?
The Lexington Avenue line is crush packed during rush hour. People from Hunter College, Bronx, Manahttan all willing to get to their destinations collide with each other. The![(6)]()
local by itself isn't enough. The MTA thought quickly by building the Second AV Subway which should help reduce some crowding, but other then that the problem still stands.
The TPH on the rest of the subway system is already at maximum, but continued growth in ridership is forcing the TPH to not be enough. Are there any ideas to solve this issue?
