I did notice fewer people on the downtown 6 at 59 St...

The crowding you previously experienced was due to not operating a sufficient number of trains to meet the demand. That crowding could have been eliminated by running more trains on the Lex.

I compared the operating cost of operating more trains vs. the capital and operating cost of the SAS in another thread. The SAS operating costs are lower but it will take nearly 1000 years to recover the capital costs.

Mr. randyo noted the MTA's reluctance to operate more trains was due to lack of rolling stock. There's no signal or track limit to operating 30 tph on the Lex local tracks. They used to do it.
