The MTA says it will use nearly $32 million of its capital budget to build a connection between the uptown 6 Line and the IND trains at the Bleecker Street subway station in Lower Manhattan.

Right now, subway riders can only transfer to and from the downtown 6 to the B, Q, F and V trains at the Broadway-Lafayette station. It's the only one-way transfer in the entire subway system.

The agency has set aside an additional $18 million to give the station a face-lift and make it more accessible to the disabled.

I take the 6 to Bleecker to get to school and always thought the one way transfer was awkward.

it'd be nice if they could connect this station to prince street

you know what'd be ill, if they added some elevators for transfering to the V,F,D,B

It would probably be difficult to add elevators to link the platforms. I remember it took the MTA like 2 years and a ton of construction work to add an elevator to the 14st/8ave L station.

Thank god. I take the F from Brooklyn to B'way and Lafayette and hate having to go above ground, walk down Houston, make a left on Lafayette, walk up a block and go down to get the 6. It makes no sense.

Off topic-
New York is an easy city to figure out, I remember that street Bleeker, and also Houston st.
