I've never been on anything that could take off like the Lex Ave Line.The people issue is rapidly disappearing as lines get converted over to CBTC, which should also eke out a little bit of time on the schedules, as they can wait until the absolute last second to slam on the brakes and platform perfectly versus a human driver who needs some margin. Commuter trains could do the same thing, although I'm not sure what the regulatory hurdles would be of programming them to run themselves. Not rocket science once you have PTC, it's just a software upgrade. |
