Yes, about the transfers (correspondences) that require hikes. When I visited Montreal, Mexico City, and Madrid, I began to contrast those all-stop 2-track systems with our four-track routes under Manhattan avenues and beyond (Queens Blvd). The four-track system allows easier same-platform transfers. In the other cities, there are no delays caused by merging traffic, as at East 149th and Grand Concourse, so headways are more consistent. But the loss of time encountered at a Correspondence in Paris is a debit. Admittedly, we do have a hike at 53rd and Lex. And Montreal has across-the-platform transfer at Lionel-Groulx. |
