I guess that one point I was trying to make - is that a whole series of "train travel plans" can be made for this kind of operation, some better or worse than other plans - by us amateur "transit planners". Go ahead, knock yourself out creating such plans - have a great time.Just keep in mind that there are REAL PEOPLE who have to get from point A to point B during the time periods of these transit line closings. These folks will need clear understandable and "do-able" transit directions and assistance to get from their usual point A to point B. The various subway lines were not always created to work well with each other. Distances on subway maps, and on the actual streets when one has to actually walk them can be very different. Having to make a variety of connections between the segments might not be a good thing to ask the riders. Meaning a preference for simplicity might be in order. Plus there may need to be shuttle buses for segments that the other subway lines do not cover well. Still all of this is interesting. Mike |
