Posted by Michael549 on Wed Jun 24 13:41:15 2015, in response to Re: M to West 4th on Weekends/Late Nights, posted by WMATAGMOAGH on Wed Jun 24 11:30:42 2015. From a previous message:"Some number of 7th Avenue/Broadway passengers might take the IND on CPW if there were more local trains or a direct ride to 6th Avenue on weekends. Your analysis doesn't account for that fact." I concede that I do not have "origin and destination" information. However such information is not as plentiful as it supposed. Informed observation as to make due. For several decades, the basic weekend pattern of Sixth Avenue and Eighth Avenue service has existed. Weekend riders along Central Park West KNOW to change at 59th Street-Columbus Circle if they wanted Sixth Avenue service. The 59th Street-Columbus Circle is a major transfer station, and many riders transfer between trains. Riders transferring from one train to another is a basic fact of transit life. Not every option can be offered at all times. There are always competing priorities. It can easily be inferred that some #4 Bronx train riders might want to get off on East 23rd Street during the weekday or weekend day-times. So far, nobody here has ever repeatedly suggested that #4 trains be made local all through Manhattan every weekend just because of the possibility such a rider exists. I wonder why? Mike |
