Posted by Broadway Lion on Fri Feb 29 10:59:55 2008, in response to TA is obsessed with CBTC, and "New" tech for no reason., posted by JournalSquare-K-Car on Thu Feb 28 22:08:34 2008. THUS SPAKE BROADWAY LION:Trains used to be faster. Now they are slower. They say Signals are the issue. LION says same signals as before they not change. ERGO Signals NOT Issue spake said LION. They say but trains are heavier and brake characteristics different. LION says so issue is with trains not signals. LION also says trains are easier to fix. LION SAYS mount track brakes on trains. Even if only used for BIE then it permits higher speeds again with existing signal system. As for Crew Costs... LION says New Yorkers *like* having conductors on their trains, a two man crew is ALWAYS safer than a one man crew. This crewperson is a CHEAP cost for this level of safety and security. Now all of this being said: LION does support automation of subway lines. But first let us make NEW lines. LION says: "BUILD THE MYRTLE-FIFTH AVENUE SUBWAY NOW." LION also says ROAR, but you already knew that. ROAR |
