I don’t understand the logic behind all of these service changes. Why not just run the F train on the A/C tracks between W 4th St in Manhattan and J St/Metrotech in Brooklyn? This would eliminate F train service to five stations, two of which will be closed anyway under this plan. Of the remainig three stations, two are served by multiple subway lines, only 2nd Ave is an “orphan”.

possibly specific switch overhaul.
