Re: MTA could approve massive service cuts?

Based on my experience in scheduling, cutting service off peak doesn’t really achieve any significant savings since it is the peak period on any given line that determines the number of trains and crews needed. Once the crews are out there on the road they might as well stick around and make midday and early evening trips. If you need 25 trains for the rush hour that means you need 25 crews to operate those trains and those same 25 crews are available to make off peak trips as well.
