The only thing increasing dwell times is the lack of rolling stock. Put more trains out on the railroad and you will have fewer standing passenger aboard the trains. Few standing passengers equals fewer passenger discharging the trains. More trains out on the railroad also equals fewer passenger waiting on platforms to board the trains.I don't really agree with that. I don't think that more trains (which, again, isn't really an option for most of the railroad anyway) would help the situation that much. The insufficient door capacity in each car is a much bigger factor, IMO. Unloading from a WMATA car is just so slow, regardless. |
