Posted by Easy on Mon May 29 12:18:35 2006, in response to Re: Lexington Avenue Line TPH, posted by stephenk on Mon May 29 12:04:52 2006. I pulled this from SubTalk. It looks like Moscow is strict about the dwell times. In the end I think that's the way to do it if you want to maintain capacity.Posted by announcement_guy on Sat Sep 27 15:33:06 2003, in response to Topic: The Pro's and Con's of EVERY Subway System in the World, posted by Christopher Rivera on Sat Sep 27 12:03:18 2003. Moscow's Metro system (as of 1995): Pros: 1. Dirt cheap (even for Moscovites) - single fare was 7 cents in 1995 2. Train frequencies of 90 seconds on each line during rush hours, 3 minutes during off-peak hours 3. Stations everywhere in the city 4. Fast service with almost no service disruptions (compared to London anyway) 5. Beautiful stations Cons: 1. The system is overcrowded, and the fact that doors close even though 50 people still want to get on the train doesn't help 2. Confusing names of stations and lines. Lines usually carry the names of both termini (you'd ride the "14th St-Canarsie Line" instead of the L train), and transfer stations never have the same name. 3. Too many beggars and bums in front of the station buildings and on the trains |
