Re: Question about the Queens Blvd CBTC.

What I am claiming is analogous to claiming that if taxis could travel faster, you would need fewer of them to meet the same demand.

Nope. Going faster will not provide meet the same demand, if the speed is greater than the optimum.

Consider the extreme of infinite speed. The trip will take 0 time. However, the headway to the next train would be infinite. Thus, it would be a single trip. Good, if that's the demand. Bad, otherwise.
