Again, you're assuming the service cuts were a reaction to declining patronage. On many lines the city wanted to abandon, service cuts were meant to force patronage down, to a point that abandonment could be considered. The Third Ave. el is a prime example. It was progressively cut back in the early 1950's. Ridership declined, numbers of trains were reduced and in 1955 the city announced that the whole "surviving" ridership could more efficiently be moved by the Lexington Ave. subway. |
