CBTC does nothing to reduce station dwell time, especially at Roosevelt Ave. for example.

No, but it does allow the train directly behind the one at Roosevelt to get in the station more quickly. That means less people crowd onto this train, and it gets out quicker, so that the next one can enter, etc.

But even the MTA's assessment of CBTC's benefit has been reduced. They used to claim operation of up to 40tph. Now, they're claiming 33 tph. Typical.
