The article leads with the word that the F express is stalled until the Culver Viaduct Rehabilitation. Buried further down in the article was some good news:
During the project’s next four years, she said, “We would work with the community, do all the analysis and discussion required to contemplate a future F express service,” which would initially run north from Church Avenue.
The latest push for an F express was propelled by Carroll Gardens blogger Gary Reilly, who started an online petition that caught the attention of local politicians and MTA officials. Yesterday Reilly suggested the V could eventually run into Brooklyn on the F tracks.
The other buried gem: "One area will be set aside to test different vendors of automated Communications-Based Train Control equipment."
So it seems like there could be more one-operator trains in our future. If the technology works, this could substantially reduce operating costs.
And if you haven't signed on to the Enhanced F/V Petition, sign on up. Over 4,000 signatures so far.
