The MTA hosted its second open house in Brooklyn to discuss the Interborough Express, a planned 14-mile rail project connecting Bay Ridge to Jackson Heights. This line aims to link 17 subway lines along with the Long Island Rail Road, streamlining commutes that currently involve lengthy transfers. The MTA estimates that the project could serve 115,000 riders daily, cutting commute times to as little as 40 minutes. Local residents expressed excitement about the potential impact on their daily travel.
The MTA returned to Brooklyn Monday night to update residents on plans for the Interborough Express - a proposed train line that would connect Bay Ridge to Jackson Heights without entering Manhattan.
The 14-mile rail project is expected to link 17 subway lines and the Long Island Rail Road, offering direct service between Brooklyn and Queens neighborhoods that currently require lengthy transfers.
Commuters like Grace Eduno say the project would make a huge difference.
Another commuter, Keya Cateau, told News 12, 'I think it would be great for the people of Brooklyn and Queens.'
