problem? manhattan? express trains? wat?
triboro rx is a local loop connector service for brooklyn and queens and eventually the bronx (and i have seen a staten island tunnel idea too, but is really livin' a dream).
anyway, its a crosstown boro service targeted for those residents.
in other words, its just like the G train.
also, the phase three bx section will not be able to come along for a long, long time, so that part not worth worrying over now whatsoever.
this is why hochul wants to move on it and at least the first two phases, which can be done now.
i suppose they could build out some express service along the way on the route, but that is really not the point of it.
