But that is exactlt the problem. Those mezzanines are tall enough for the trains. there was no need tohave the platforms another level below. I have always favored shallow cut and cover for a combination of reasons. While I am not against beauty in subway architecture, I do believe utility should override--case in point. Think of the time wasted with multiple escalators to extra deep stations versus say local stations on the original subway in NYC. You will still be somewhere on the escalator while I have gotten a token(Metrocard) entered , boarded a train and be at the next station. |
