All kinds of interesting stuff here:- LIRR has higher weekday ridership, but MN has higher overall. That indicates a LOT more people use Metro North on the weekends - Does the MN trackage include the Pascack Valley line? If not, that's a huge disparity with the LIRR, even if you exclude the Beacon line - I would have never guessed that Metro North's car fleet would be higher than the LIRR's, given all the branches and the longer trains the LIRR has/runs. - I am at a loss to explain why the LIRR costs $400 million more to run than Metro North, given these stats. |
