"I think it's probably also because a longer distance train can operate with fewer conductors if they don't have to get everyone's ticket until White Plains or Croton."That occurred to me as well the other day. It's as much to keep subway and bus riders from grabbing a free ride to 125 St as anything else. If passengers are allowed to exit at 125 St, theoretically all tickets must be checked before then. Unfortunately, that may be a difficult job, especially for a small crew. Similarly, the LIRR 3-stop "no Jamaica" express runs on the Babylon line can have a minimum crew because the crew has the whole run to walk the entire train-- and they only have to check once instead of twice. |
