An incredibly unserious thought experiment on making the G into a better crosstown edited onto vanshnookenraggen's track map

Some considerations:

  • The third track on the BMT Jamaica line is reactivated and DeKalb is deinterlined.
  • I wasn't sure whether it's possible to add a fourth track to Bedford-Nostrand Avs, so I made a new tunnel under Lexington Ave.
  • The V has taken over the J south of Chambers St a la JTA's alphabet city branch proposal.
  • I'm not sure on the alignment to connect the IND Crosstown line to the Myrtle Ave El (or what remains of it). I just followed the streets and assumed a portal is possible.
  • Census data for one-seat rides was completely ignored. This entire map is a thought experiment on how, not why.
  • I did not add SAS phase 4 to Hanover sq because I am tired. Pretend it is there.
  • I also didn't add stations on Lafayette Ave and Lexington Ave connecting the C and G. This, too, is because I am tired.
  • This was done on photoshop because I hate myself. The colors may not match and the edit is not very good. Please ignore this.
