A while back, the fellow who goes by the handle lirr42 questioned this philosophy, suggesting that wasting people's time every day so that the statistics look good is not necessarily better than having some trains late sometimes, harming the statistics, but saving people time on a routine basis. In other words, in an extreme case, one could take the longest run of a train and use that to write the schedule. The train would never be officially "late," but if the train can usually be run in, say, 45 minutes, padding it to 60 or 90 minutes just wastes everyone's time every day and is kind of insulting to riders even if it never shows up in an official statistic.It might be time to build some simple crew quarters at 205 St somehow. Or maybe the line should be extended one stop with suitable facilities at the new terminal. |
