Posted by randyo on Tue Nov 18 15:45:36 2014, in response to Re: Subway Planning, posted by BrooklynBus on Tue Nov 18 08:43:14 2014. Don’t take anything that David Gunn said as gospel. I once asked him why he had the R-10s painted green instead of fox red and he told me that it was because that was their original color and i did have the intestinal fortitude to inform him that he was mistaken and that the R-10s original color was not green but 2 tone gray offset by red/orange trim. Traffic checkers were also around long before he came to the TA. In the rapid transit schedule office we had ATDs assigned to us who performed traffic checking duties when needed and at other times performed other functions in the schedule office. I’m not sure how surface did it but I believe that when needed surface schedule makers were sent to the road to perform traffic checking. When Gunn came on board, traffic checking along with schedule making and service planning for both subways and buses was placed in the Operations Planning Department and at that time, part time traffic checkers were hired to perform the functions formerly done by the ATDs and surface schedule makers. The full transition of scheduling and service planning was completed in late 1986 when the schedule makers who were supervisors until that time were elevated to managerial status. |
