I agree it COULD be done, but it's not worth the expense. The J, M and Z hardly max out the physical capacity of the Williamsburg Bridge line, adding an extra TPH would be a cheaper alternative to meeting increasing demand than spending millions to lengthen platforms.The Canarsie line is another story. Even with CBTC demand is taxing capacity. Here is where it makes sense to add 2 cars to every train, increasing capacity by 20% without having to add extra trains. |
