My analysis is that BART and WMATA deliberately ignored most of the lessons from NYC and Chicago. When the IND was built,, they planned for bigger crowds, allowed for (sadly) never built branches, and designed in flexibility which allows reroutes in emergencies or major changes in ridership patterns.BART built stations w/inadequate stairs/escalators/faregates which retard passenger flow. Both systems deployed escalators as if rain (snow in DC's case) had been abolished which costs millions in otherwise un-necessary repairs. Incompetence and counterproductive design are rampant. |
