There has been a reduction in the number of spares that NYCT carries. It's one of the few metrics where NYCT operation excels compared to other heavy rail systems.It used to be 25% (reaching even 30% back in the early 1980's. Improved maintenance has allowed them to reduce this to 19%, according to their explanation. The current NTD Transit Profiles Report (2015) shows an even further decline to 1.5%. It shows there are only 5365 car available for a maximum service that required 5282 cars. I question these figures. The 2011 report stated they had 6282 cars available for a peak service requirement of 5240 cars and a 20% spares ratio. (6282/5240 = 1.2) |
