Oh, for an eventual increase in rush hour service after full CBTC implementation, I suppose. But so many?

64 Cars means 8 trains. The round trip time for the Canarsie Line is approximately 1 hour. 8 additional trains on the line translates to 4 tph more. Before CBTC the capacity on the 14th Street Line was 24 tph, which they ran through the 1970's. They were operating 17 tph according to the 2009 Hub Bound Report. This will bring their capability up to 21tph for a net capacity decline of 4 tph or 12%.
