Posted by GP38/R42 Chris on Mon Mar 10 14:07:40 2008, in response to Re: Bad data; Diagrams Re: Air Train question, posted by Terrapin Station on Mon Mar 10 13:50:33 2008. I only brought that up to try and explain how the HB statistics will not be the same after adding another slice of pie. The "even" numbers were used for illustative purposes only, and I said that we can't consider that anyone switched modes. Perhaps it was wrong to put it way, because we KNOW that they DID switch modes. All things are NOT constant. HB people DID switch to Jamaica (no idea how many). Jamaica brings in a whole new set of numbers that didn't exist before AirTrain. It HAS to get it's riders from "somewhere". And that was even before I thought about the taxi people. That's actually two slices of pie being thrown in that weren't there in the older stats.I was only saying why the HB % stats don't give a clear picture, and they don't. That's it. Saying that "HB used to be 4% and now is 3.5%" can't be used as we don't know how many people switched from HB to Jamaica. Jamaica took some of it's riders. HB used to be the ONLY subway access, now there are two (and three actually if you count the J, but that's small). |
