Then maybe the R160's do tooNo. They don't. We have the numbers, I posted them here for you to review. We know they accelerate at 2.5mph/s. That is an unassailable fact. Qualitative assessments by foamers need not apply. A limited amount of money definitely would rule out any crazy light-rail ideas here. Standardize on subway equipment like it is already set up to handle, and take it from there. Beefing up power infrastructure is a relatively cheap way to get more performance out of the existing trains if it is needed. But that's the most expensive option possible. You're talking about changing both the rolling stock and the power infrastructure over the next decade or so. Going to LRVs would allow the rolling stock to be changed out while the power infrastructure improvements are pushed off another decade or two. |
