No, If you have an additional live trip w/ low ridership it is just a money pit. When you add a trip in place of a DHD you have to add recovery time for the purpose of recovering lateness so the next trip is able to start on time. A live trip takes more time than a DHD because of time points and dwell time. The terminal is away from the path of the DHD and addition DHD time still costs, so it's not gravy for the company it is addtional net loss even if there is a couple of fares paid it doesn't outweigh the overhead. Assume the DHD from 57 st to GCT is 15min. and there is 10min. recovery time then the X25 takes 30min. then it is a 45min. DHD from the WFC to UP depot, Thats 1:40 Minutes. The DHD would be only 1 hour. 40min. is still 40min. of pay and fuel and related overhead at a loss. |
