Yeah here's the thing...if I have to get to Grand Central from Forest Hills...I'm riding the escalator. I'm certainly not taking the 1,2,3 to Times Square 7th Ave and walking to the shuttle.

Well the more likely alternative is taking the E to the 7 at JH or 6 at Lex/53

The only problem with the 7 at Jackson Heights Roosevelt is its the local only there. Which I always forget. Because it seems like it should be an express stop.

When the 7 train was built out in the 1910's, they never envisioned the IND developing their own subway line under Queens Blvd and a transfer being built there.

Any subway line, rail line, roadway, that’s built with only one express that’s meant to alternate directions is a bad idea.

I know this doesn’t really apply to your comment but it’s close enough to bring out my frustration.
