THIS should be the plan. I'm glad the #InterboroughExpress is happening but... the line goes into the Bronx, yo! Spend the money!

🚆 The Interborough Express could turn 14 miles of freight tracks into NYC’s next real estate frontier—linking Brooklyn & Queens, unlocking 100K+ homes, and revitalizing neglected corridors. A bold vision for growth beyond Manhattan. 🔗 t.ly/1Ia4L #InterboroughExpress #CityOfYes #SmartGrowth
That extension is called the #InterboroughExpress!
Many of the people who get off at Rockaway Pkwy transfer to the B6, the third busiest bus in the entire city. In the future they can get on the IBX directly at Broadway Junction and save one transfer!
With that said… Queens–Bronx transit will remain barely existent.
I like what @jointtransit.bsky.social has to say about the #InterboroughExpress in their video: youtu.be/WBCfPZO87oI?...
In addition to this oldie but goodie, this idea by the Joint Transit Association intrigued me.
Considering certain tradeoffs with continuing the #InterboroughExpress along the existing NEC, they propose running it to the Bronx via LGA: youtu.be/WBCfPZO87oI?...
I'm just finding out that my sister is going to have a 1 hour 45 minute commute to her college of choice.
She would have to pay $198 extra every month to be able to save 35 minutes by using the LIRR.
The #InterboroughExpress and #QueensBusRedesign would've helped out a bit.
