The problem in NYC is also that if you remove enough cars from Manhattan, the transit system couldn’t handle the extra passengers that would be forced into it.That's not true for the peak hour and periods for the CBD. The number of people entering the CBD by subway between 8 and 9 am was 604K in 1963 vs. 401K in 2017. The number of people entering the CBD by subway between 7 and 10 am was 1.157M in 1963 vs. 913K in 2017. The number of people entering the CBD by subway over 24 hours was 1.988M in 1963 vs. 2.314M in 2017. The number of subway passengers entering the CBD for the 3 time periods declined in lockstep from 1963 until 1985. Since then, the number of CBD bound subway passengers in the peak hour (8-9) and period (7-10) continued to decline whereas the 24 hour total started increasing. The MTA has maintained peak hour and period crowding by decreasing the service levels. |
