Posted by tracksionmotor on Thu Feb 10 21:18:59 2005, in response to NYC Subway trains per hour, posted by stephenk on Thu Feb 10 18:09:36 2005. Stephan: One thing you missed. We operate NYCTA subways on a 24 hour basis. Most of those systems shut down for at least eight hours a day with limited weekend runs. Our system is still running controls from the time of Thomas Edison (caveat to Signals: upgraded)while most of your displayed systems have newer signals and controls. We also move a heck of a lot of passengers on nearly 700 miles of active tracks verrrry safely. Sure our subways are dim and dirty (caveat to CTAs: you work hard) but for one two-buck fare, you can go anywhere, even ride all day and night in a circle to nowhere. One thing those metros NEVER had a connection to was 'FREEDOMLAND.' |
