It's not like they're taking brand new buses out and scrapping them because they built the LRT. Bus routes can be restructured to feed the higher capacity LRT such that buses are only eliminated by attrition due to old age. They don't out-accelerate the newer NYCTA cars that have AC traction. They only had the advantage in the past when they were the only thing on FTA rails with AC traction. Heh. About as much veracity as the rest of your post. which is to say none. R160 Datasheet from NYCSubway.org says 2.5mph/s for an R160's acceleration. Kinki-Sharyo Datasheet from the horse's mouth says 3mph/s for their acceleration. |
