Do not shut this station down. It’s gonna make things even more inconvenient. T train transfer is planned to be here and you can have access to the uptown M101, M102, and M103 bus service. And actually, let’s have the MTA build a new out-of-system passageway between 3rd Avenue and Union Square to go a step further of reducing some of the overcrowding at Union Square.
Well, think about this, assuming the second avenue subway gets built, that's a great transfer option for the L train.
America obesity is out of control. Walk those damn calories off its only 2nin damn
Trains would just get held in the abandoned station anyway as they wait for the train in front of them to empty out at Union Square. Plus, Union Square and 1st Ave are crowded enough as is, you really don't need to add more people closing 3rd Ave.
Mind your business. Probably not even from NYC
I live at 3rd ave Station/DONT CLOSE IT DOWN😢
So what about ppl living on east end, 1st and second ave and the bus is down
Hahahaha 😂😂😂😂 shut it all down ❤
BUSES IS OK DISMISSAL IS OK TUESDAY
Boston has a similar situation downtown; three stations within walking distance of each other – Park St, Downtown Crossing and State Street. But they are the oldest and most historic parts of the subway. And you can walk between them without going outside. Like if it's raining. 👍
The MTA already closed many stations already, and some should be restored and reactivated. What the MTA could do is just run some express L trains at peak hours. Don't close the station.
Who the hell asked him? He needs to mind the business that pays him. That’s lunacy.
Kinda tired of these people that look and smile like Justin Trudeau thinking they know what's best.
That’s my station. Don’t close it
a transplant softwareengineer is telling New Yorkers what would be better for them lol, this will go well
This is just a self serving attitude on the part of this engineering douche because he has to spend a few more minutes in the train. Maybe the station is used less than the others but people STILL use it and live nearby. Basically, he wants to steal a few minutes of time away from those people for his own convenience. People like this need to just STFU.
I swear people be doing the most.
Yes, shut them down
Mind your business TRANSPLANT 😠
Just because a stop isn’t busy, doesn’t mean it has no use, there are businesses there & residents on top of the fact the subway should expand not shrink. I think best case would be create an “Express L” that skips it.
To many people in nyc for this bs
The station isn’t closing. Stop this BS. Let alone a extension to 11th avenue is needed.
Someone find out where this guy is from…
Keep it
Just leave it alone 😔
First of all there are plenty of us who get off on third ave to go to work in the early hours of the morning. As for this software engineer stick to what you know and keep it moving…
Slow news day?
Its obvious Joshua has an agenda for this station, and not thinking of those who use it..
“Joshua” is not a real New Yorker.
Selfish young people thoughts
Who cares
If you read between the lines 😂 smh Folks that's why this system is in debt and always asking for funding. Efficiency or common sense is not the goal.
NON NEW YORKERS COME INTO NYC TRYING TO CHANGE THE CITY AND MAKE IT SAN FRANCISCO
Not every shower thought needs to be built out into a web dashboard and a campaign to be put on the local news.
Hindsight is always better than foresight, but way back in the day, they should have built just one station at 2nd Ave.
I looked at this guy for two seconds and said "I bet he works for an AI startup that has a website that's like a parody of meaningless business speak" and yup – googled him and can confirm this is the case
Hell no I use this station
Union Square and 1st Avenue platforms are overcrowded, 3rd Avenue is good crowd relief anyway. The time “saved” will be offset by how many more trains people have to miss because they can’t get on, not to mention the dangers of overcrowded platforms, especially at Union Square. So, as the MTA says. Thanks, but no thanks.
That's the station where Travis Bickle, Matthew Higgins a.k.a Sport, and Irish first met by the Variety.
bet he mad at it ☠️
Bros from ohio a place that has no public transportation talkin abt this and uses AI to calculate efficiency😭
Who is this guy get em outta here 🤦🏾♂️ Leave my L Train line alone Dick head
Thank god the Nepo Baby is here to save NYC
No leave it open
