Why hasn’t the mta drastically downsized the rush hour schedule on the commuter rails . They knew no one was riding .They are between a rock and a hard place. Let's assume the 30% who are currently riding the subway have no choice and would take the subway, if service were cut. The cut service would result in crowded trains that provide an environment for spreading Covid. A while back, I calculated the maximum percentage of returning passengers the subway could handle, while maintaining 6 ft. distancing. It was a crude calculation but one that the authorities had not done. It came to around a 25% return to "normal." |
