and easier. For the Rockaways, it would mean 165% more through-running service. QueensLink would create economic opportunities by connecting the Rockaway’s to other parts of the City. QueensLink would also create 33 acres of parks and green spaces 🌳

As a supporter of @thequeenslink project, I appreciate getting a tour of the abandoned LIRR Rockaway Beach Branch corridor. 🚊
By connecting the E, F, R and 7 in the north with the A, J, and Z in the south, QueensLink would make travel across the borough faster

A 125 St subway should be a slam dunk. But at $7.7B for 1.25 miles, and with stations deep underground, current plans would not only build the most expensive subway in the the world, but would cost riders valuable minutes every single trip.
It's not too late, however:

Big news for regional transit: FRA’s Phase 1 report confirms that through-running can boost Penn Station’s capacity without expansion.
ETA examined why this is a good first step—and why, with the operational changes of Phase 2, its true potential is even greater.
