So, I gather your quantitative assessment is midnight hours service levels.The TA's midnight hours service is impressive, compared to other systems. It may be a NYC thing because PATH is also 24/7. I remember a conversation I had with the curator of the Musee des Transports Urbains some 40 years ago. He wondered how preventive maintenance could be performed on a system that operated 24/7. (At that time the answer was that the TA did not do any preventive maintenance). However, cost-benefit analysis is still in vogue. How many people benefit? According to the hourly tables of the 2005 Hub Bound Report, it represents slightly less than 2% of the entire passenger count. This 2% might be more important than the raw numbers indicate. If a substantial percentage of this 2% provided essential services for the remaining 98%, then such service is warranted. |
