Route 2 highlights an issue within the subways routes in Queens. Route 2 is sandwiched between two East-West running lines, the 7 and the F/M. The lack of a train running North/South between Brooklyn in Queens is a common pain point among New Yorkers, often forcing commuters to go into Manhattan to get between the two boroughs if bus services is also lacking. The proposed IBX project can remedy this, allowing commuters to move between these areas easier.
