Posted by trains61 on Sat Jan 19 08:57:51 2008, in response to Re: G Train to be cut back to Court Square permanently, posted by RonInBayside on Fri Jan 18 20:50:23 2008. Wrong on Friday and Saturday....No, Ron you are wrong. Even in this thread people readily admit that pax jump off of the locals to the express. How would you know anyway? What is your proof? I used the line on a regular basis, in both directions during the evening. What is your point of reference? An occasional jaunt to Jamaica? I`ll let others in NYC that actually ride on Q.B. during the evening tell us the facts and stand by mine which state, "There are not wall to wall people waiting to ride the V train along Q.B. during evening hours." Because 60 trains a day is still not more than a train every 24 minutes or so (how many tunnels in the subway see that?) those trains have some leeway as to when they need to be at their destinations, and the freight roads can and do jam up Amtrak trains which do need to keep to a schedule (Amtrak has lost ridership between St. Louis and Kansas City because of it). Missed the point once again didn`t you? The point was about the principles of dispatching and scheduling. That`s why freight railroads hire and pay competent dispatchers and not Doctors of Foamology. You can lead a Ron to water....... You really have no clue as to how the subway functions, do you? That's OK, though...this is Subchat. That's why MTA hires professionals and not foamers to work there. The abundance of office professionals in the MTA as opposed to hourlies is part of the problem. More personnel, more options for switchman, platform conductors etc. at some terminals ie: Forest Hills. Funny, I don`t recall that anybody riding the Queens Blvd. lines asked for Ron(Master of Pomposity) to be their advocate. For someone who lives in K.C. you`re awfully involved in NYC transit affairs. So who is the FOAMER here? And ChrisR16 thought Ron had changed(NOT) Ron pull your venomous fangs outta my ass and put them away. This is a message board with differing opinions and observations. We are not going to change the world here. It`s not that serious Doc... Really it isn`t. |
