Well, currently what's the case if some legislative committee asks why, say, 25 tph can't be run on the Queens Blvd local tracks?The response is going to be that the relay terminal at Forest Hills can't handle that frequency of service. Then, let's say that some person working for the committee looks at the track maps, makes a few multiplications, and says, 'Why mot?'. Then NYCT explains its policy, which is a health, safety, morals, and welfare reason why not. Certainly the legislature is the ultimate authority on health, safety, morals, and welfare, and at the least, I imagine they could order a study of advantages and disadvantages of different policies. Alternatively, as I once suggested in a different topic, create a new station called "Kew Gardens Hills" placed on the loop track at Jamaica Yard, making those tracks in-service tracks. That way, there's a topologically superior way to turn trains around while also making things a bit more convenient for some. At all events, the current and artificial limit on capacity of the Queens Blvd local tracks can be viewed as having quite negative economic and social welfare impact. |
