How a Transit Dream Died, posted by Michael549 on Wed Jan 23 15:01:09 2019. nice general engineering issues, but, weight of fully loaded semis approachs that of lighter design rapid transit cars. In turn, whenever traffic is heavy, the lines of semis increase the net load whereas, the rapid transit trains are not likely to exerience gridlock. So, in my COMPLETELY AMATEUR judgement, eliminating a couple of truck lanes in each direction should provide a tradeoff for subway cars IF MTA begins to go withlighter weight fleets. Of course, MTA could build a special class of lighter cars for service to S I. |
