"Do you think the headway should be lowered to 15 minutes on some lines?"Sure if during the midnight hours the trains of a given line were packed to the gills, and riders on the platforms could not board the trains, and had to wait for several trains to pass by before being able to physically board the trains. Yes, in that case increase the frequency of the trains. It is simply that such a situation does not exist on the NYC subways during the midnight hours. I'll grant that at particular times or events the trains may be very crowded for brief periods. With the standard 20-minute waits system-wide no area or community is singled out for better service, unless there is "another good reason" political problems are reduced. And no - the extension of the midnight hour R-train to Whitehall Street is not such a special case. Mike |
