The W train seems to be everyone's proposed hit list. Without cutting N, Q, R service, it will overload those trains, and they would still cut their frequencies.With ridership down 70%, how does that break down among rush hours, weekday off peak, and weekends ? It seems LIRR and MN would like to cut service 50%. If they do that off-peak, it won't save much money. Off peak ridership will drop. People will not wait up to 2 hours for a train if they have always had hourly service. LIRR saw that 10 years ago when they cut Port Washington half hourly service in half to hourly. Budget savings were minimal. They still had to pay an entire shift for crews needed only for rush hours. I think the trains in general are over-staffed. |
