OTOH, even if a one-seat ride to       downtown doesn't come until the final phase, the Q will connect to the       1234567BDFJLMNR, which adds several new two-seat options and hopefully       less crowding for several of the existing ones via the Lex.              This is the best map I've found that shows the full route/stations:       https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c3/Second_Avenu       _Subway_Map_vc.jpg              This one shows the phasing, but not as much detail:       http://cdnstatic.visualizeus.com/thumbs/2d/1e/2d1e610ab9b0a1b4a2       84954bd7aabc8_i.jpg              There doesn't seem to be a need for the T route (and its new color)       until Phase 3 is in service, but you never know.              S              --       Stephen Sprunk "God does not play dice." --Albert Einstein       CCIE #3723 "God is an inveterate gambler, and He throws the       K5SSS dice at every possible opportunity." --Stephen Hawking              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
