Ron, the impact of high speed cars is NOT nil for the passengers. It makes the line FASTER. If you ran 62s on the MFL(broad guage trucks), the passengers would notice hown it took longer to get to their destination. They would also notice how slow the cars are, and how they can't go above 22 miles on an up-grade.The stations ARE close, that is why the RAPID acceleration helps. Its not PCC performance, but still pretty fast. The cars are not "high speed"-they top out at 50-55 miles, they will just get you to 45+ miles between stations consistently, and quickly. PUT MFL stock on the Seven line, and people will be GLAD they arrived at their destination five or more minutes earlier than usual. News will spread that the subway service is faster, and more frequent, so more people will ride. THINK, Ron. Be positive. Stop with your BAD pescimistic attitude. |
