LOL!!!Again, the real purpose of the (M) / (T) split is to have the (M) and (T) operate on weekdays during off-peak hours on a 1/1 split. During PEAK hours, as designed the (M) likely operates at its current 8 TPH and the (T) operates at 5-7 TPH depending on how much additional capacity 6th avenue and the SAS can handle after the (Q) runs its 12-14 TPH at peak. The breakdown as I would have it from Metropolitan Avenue: PEAK hours: 8 (M) TPH to 71st-Continental 5-7 (T) TPH to 96th/2nd (actual number depends on capacity constraints both on 6th Avenue and the SAS) Weekday off-peak hours: 6 (M) TPH to 71-Continental 6 (T) TPH to 96th Street/2nd Avenue Late Nights: Sunday-Thursday: 3-5 (T) TPH to 96th Street/2nd Avenue depending on ridership demands during the (L) shutdown (especially given the (L)'s notoriously being overcrowded even at Midnight-1:00 AM) Friday-Saturday: 4-6 TPH to 96th Street/2nd Avenue until 3:00 AM, after 3:00 AM (until 8:00 AM Saturday and 9:30 AM Sunday) 3-5 TPH depending on demands. Weekends, excluding late nights: 7-9 TPH to 96th Street/2nd Avenue to meet demands from the (L) during the (L) shutdown. The additional trains also note the likelihood of QB being unavailable most weekends due to CBTC work that likely will still be ongoing at that point making it impossible to run the (M) to 71-Continental during that time. That's how I would do it. |
