Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Mon Mar 10 10:39:01 2008, in response to Re: Bad data; Diagrams Re: Air Train question, posted by RIPTA42HopeTunnel on Mon Mar 10 10:27:26 2008. I picked 4% because it is near the low end of pre-AirTrain usage (note I said "between 3.5% and 6.5% per month) and the high end of AirTrain usage. The only month between opening and the end of 2007 that broke 4% is September, 2004. It isn't an indicator of anything except relative performance.Dude, Howard Beach will never break it's old % as long as Jamaica is there. Jamaica takes 2 times the amount of people that Howard Beach does. That's an access point that DIDN'T exist in your pre-Airtrain stats for Howard Beach. That's a MAJOR percentage of transit users. Again, once you add a new slice into a pie, that new slice takes away percentage numbers from the other slices, making them all go down just because it's there. Again - four slices at 25% automatically becomes 5 slices at 20% just by something being added that didn't exist prior. And then that is not even considering the fact that that new slice is a major player in the whole thing. Jamaica's stats now are 2 times that of Howard beach. That's a MAJOR percentage you are not considering in your % stats. So YES, HB stats WILL be lower just for the simple fact that Jamaica was added, much less such a much used addition. |
