Posted by New Flyer #857 on Tue Sep 23 11:17:12 2014, in response to Re: Culver Express, posted by #5 - Dyre Ave on Tue Sep 23 09:33:43 2014. Well if you have 20 TPH on the F, and 10 of those make all stops, you have 6-minute waiting times at the local stations, which is manageable. The situation on the 6th Ave local would go to a philosophy concern. As population (and thereby need for service) increases, you would not be able to have as many switching options as you currently do. (You can't fit an M between two F trains if the F trains are every 3 minutes, unless some other technology for increased track capacity comes out). Eventually, the M would likely be bumped from 6th Ave (by that time, it will likely be needed again in Lower Manhattan and southern Brooklyn anyway). The upside would be that when you get off the J or M at Essex you have a train arriving on the F at Delancey every 3 minutes.The system will eventually look more and more like this I suppose/fear. Passengers will have to make more transfers in order to obtain high-frequency service. All lines will become one train right behind the other and trains using switches will be kept to a minimum. |
