Posted by Henry R32 #3730 on Fri Dec 15 16:13:38 2017, in response to FastTrack nonsense., posted by BrooklynBus on Fri Dec 15 15:35:21 2017. First off: I think closing the subway at night is unworkable simply for operational reasons. That said, here's a devil's advocate argument on the rest:When the entire system closes at the same time, people learn to work around that. This *does* significantly reduce economic activity for the city involved, though. You wouldn't need 20 buses for each Q train; you would need 0 buses, because there would be no expectation of a way home after ~12:30 AM. Uber/Taxis would be quite in demand the first few weeks, until people simply decide it's not worth the hassle. Business establishments would either close early or schedule shifts that completely span the closed time (say, a midnight-6AM shift) due to employees needing to travel while the trains are still running. Patrons will go home earlier, and essentially NYC would cease to be the city that never sleeps. |
