Posted by Michael549 on Fri Sep 19 01:08:45 2014, in response to Re: Culver Express, posted by Jackson Park B Train on Fri Sep 19 00:39:48 2014. I answered the question about the situation and the decisions that were made in the 1980's when the current "2014 arrival prediction software/hardware" definitely did not exist.There is another issue that has not been talked about in this discussion: "There are 14 tph on the F line in rush hour. So if trains are evenly spaced you wait little more than 2 minutes for a train on average." Imagine that your home station is on a subway line that during the rush hours has 14-15 trains per hour headed to Manhattan where the trains run every 3 to 4 minutes apart. This is the definition of frequent service in the recent decades on the Brooklyn F-train. The residents at the highest used stations of Park Slope, the politically active folk fought for and have become used to the frequent train service. What community would ever vote to have REDUCED train service? What community would ever willing request to have reduced train service? Where is the benefit to the folks at the higher ridership local stations to wait longer for train service? The folks that would by-passed by every proposed express service idea, or now local service scheme. Even with "2014 arrival prediction software/hardware" what community would ever vote for REDUCED train service? Mike |
