Is the novelty of the Franklin Shuttle wearing off? At Park Place (the only station where shuttle ridership can be measured without including other lines), ridership was down 11% in 2003.

I don't know, but I after not using it in 20 years, I've used it a lot over the last 2 months. I usually use it during off peak hours, and it attracts a respectable sized ridership for a 150' train.

One thing that I've noticed is that when it pulls into Prospect Park, a lot of passangers (possibly most) run over to the other side to catch a Coney Island (or Brighton Beach) bound train.

Also, I think that the MTA did a great job with limited resources on the Franlkin Avenue Shuttle reconstruction.
