No, New York is the leader by showing how much better service could be. BART and WMATA both made very bad decisions on track and route design which will cost mega billions to correct. Given that both systems a.failed to build express tracks, b. failed to buy enough rolling stock, c. never have achieved the TPH pre computer systems were able to sustain, they have given riders far lower quality service for their inequitable fares.Chicago built express tracks on what turned out to be the heaviest usage lines, CTA, adopting A/B skip stop and very short headways was able to get riders to the Loop as much as 10 minutes faster in the60s than they do now. Sad to say both NY and Chicago have degraded the "rapid" aspect of transit. |
