[edit] Connection to Livonia Avenue

The removal from the Infobox of the connection to Livonia Avenue seems dubious to me. Many of the station article pages show connections to buses, commuter rail stations, and ferries that are no closer to the respective stations than Livonia Avenue to Junius Street. It's pretty well known that this is a real connection, albeit a connection you have to pay for.

The explanation given at Talk:Wall Street (IRT Lexington Avenue Line) doesn't really explain why you would leave out an actual connection (albeit subway-to-subway) that people do use. I can see a rationale for leaving out Wall Street to Broad Street, since it's not an intelligent connection (the same two lines offer a free transfer one station away). But Junius-Livonia is actually used with some frequency, and there is no real substitute for it.

I wouldn't use "connection" for any two disconnected subway stations that happen to be within walking distance, as most of them are not real connections. This one is. Marc Shepherd 03:15, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

After thought, I'll have to agree with you here, especially because it's a link between elevated lines. Larry V (talk | contribs) 03:26, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

I thought that you meant that the elevated structures were connected; after a visit, I see that this is not the case. Thus, I must still object to including the connection in the infobox, as it is simply exiting a subway station and entering another one. --Larry V (talk | contribs) 18:46, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
