On the Q train, the Beverly Road and Cortelyou Road stops are literally right next to each other, there's not even a one station distance gap between the two
138th Street-Grand Concourse on the 4/5 is a waste. I used that station yesterday (I normally get off at 135th on the 2/3 train but was early and decided to kill time by walking over the bridge) and there's literally nothing around it. At any given time there's maybe 10 people tops.
I agree that the 28th stations are useless. They could probably do away with some of the South Brooklyn stops as well.
28th on the 7th ave line is good for FIT. The 6th ave line isn't that critical but the bigger picture is there's no reasons to close these stations. They all have express lines to bypass the locals so more service along the locals is only a good thing

Not necessarily useless, it helps with the congestion on the 4/5 lines during peak hours.
There's alot of baseless opinions in this thread, some people listed stations that have relatively high ridership and it boggles my mind lol. Just because you don't need it doesn't warrant it as useless.

Cortelyou was my stop for a couple years. Definitely no need for both, they're barely a train length apart.
The Cortelyou stop is on a busy street at least, the Beverly stop is dead in the middle of Victorian Flatbush....surprised it didn't make the least used list above.

I'm very surprised 3 of the Bronx stations on that list are in the South Bronx, I thought that whole area was very dense.
