The same simple 9th grade Algebra that says 14 miles taking 42 minutes is 20MPH, says 22 MPH takes 38.2 minutes. So yes, that is 4 minutes time saved, not 5.Lets leave subjects that are apparently far beyond your ability, like 9th Grade algebra, alone and instead focus on 3rd grade rounding. It's 5 minutes. As usual, your thought process can progress beyond the train reaching the bumper block at St George, As usual I come up with a superior solution and you rant and rave about how it cannot be done and how it'll be the worst thing ever. But the numbers definitely favor converting the SIRT to LRT. Only a techno-nerd like you believes in manufacturer data sheets. Aw, I'm sorry. Here I made you look quite the fool with your ridiculous defense of how a railcar acceleration "feels", so you feel the need to dismiss the numbers now. Why don't you just quit while you're WAY, WAY behind? As you well know, all MTA operators seriously downgrade all their rolling stock in testing Those sheets are based on specification, not some as-built test data. The MTA specified a 2.5mph/s acceleration. There is no downgrading involved. Your whole argument is completely and utterly fallacious. Gear ratios can be altered in the DESIGN process. I thought your argument was that the R44s needed to be modified to provide a higher acceleration rate. Sure, if they were getting new rolling stock that'd be a possibility. But by the time you do that economically you'd end up with something about the size and weight of an LRV. |
