When I interviewed BART's PR guy around start up, he said BART was LIRR not NYC Subway.That's pretty similar to what the late Cody Phanstiehl, front man for WMATA said during the 1960s and 70s when comparing metrorail and bart. Base day service east of the hills is 15 minutes, between Richmond Mac 7.5, Mac to Bayfair 5, S of Bayfair 7.5, and in SF 3-4. Metrorail's advertised base day service is 6 minutes on the trunks 12 on the branches, cut those number in half during peak with the exception of the Red line, 5 minutes Shady Grove - Glenmont, 2.5 Grosvenor - Silver Spring. Even management can see where the riders are. WMATA does as well. One of the side benefits of using a distance based automatic fare collection. John in the sand box of Maryland's eastern shore. |
