Re: MTA could approve massive service cuts?

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.

That's one reason why I suggested going to 100% OPTO. Demand is down 70-75%. Running half length trains would still be less crowded than pre-Covid levels.

One alternative would be to go back to split shifts. I believe this is a worse solution because of the extra fatigue to operating crews.
