Running the Red and Green lines with only 6 car trains is a no-go. Maybe redo the schedules and car assignments so you have fewer trains on the Blue, Orange, Red, and Green lines but every one of them is 8 cars, so people know that they can use the length of the platform for every train. Also, having 6 car trains pull to the head end of each station as has been SOP since 2009 creates delays with dwell times as crowds rush up to the last door at stations with entrances at the far end of the station such as Union Station or Gallery Place.The test need not be done on a weekday. The redeployment from the Red, Green and Yellow line on a weekend day likely would not rob enough cars from those line to run less then a normal Saturday or Sunday service.
