REDDIT: "De-interlined" Service Diagram and Proposal

Wow, this is interesting. I came across this on Reddit, and it's somewhat mind-boggling. Without even reading remarks and comments, I identify these changes right from the top (north) part of the map:

-5 service combined into 2. Effect: no 5 on the Lexington Avenue line. The 2 splits at 180th St, instead of the 5 running concurrently with the 2 in the Bronx, including onto the White Plains Road line.

-3 service eliminated, with a shuttle as replacement at 135th St.

-C train eliminated; D only on the Concourse line.

These are just some:

Terrible idea.

I'm really getting alarmed at the trend of proposing regressive ideas to solve real current problems.

The foamer fantasies on r/nycrail are out of control sometimes.

Do any envision extending the NYW&B back into Mt. Vernon? LOL.

I'm sure some envision extending the 1, 2, or 4 into Westchester.
