I don't know about speeding up the folks in the Bronx. 4/5/6 are doing much better since Q went into service. Those folks also now have to pay for two types of transportations, MNR ticket and Subway ticket.

Commuters from CT I kinda of get, but they have to transfer. That might be the hardest part of their commute. Transfer on MNR is a lot harder than subway in my experience.
