Dwell time does afferct terminal capacityDwell time only affects terminal capacity negatively, however, Mr. Know-It-All. There will always be some dwell time t, so terminal capacity will always be negatively affected. What does that have to do with the independent determinant of terminal capacity that I actually talking about, i.e., time to enter and leave the terminal t/from platforming position? Answer: absolutely nothing! Dwell time t can only diminish terminal capacity since it can only be a positive and nonzero number. What does dwell time t have to do with entering/leaving time T? Capacity will take into account T + t. Both of those numbers are positive and neither is zero. You're foaming, because you're complaining about one factor, exaggerating is impact, while knowing absolutely nothing about why the timers were put in All of that is to say that you don't know why the timers were put in. And, of course, you're upset because it doesn't let the trains go fast - the machines you love. No, ignorant fool. For those of us not living several time zones from the Flushing Line, the line's capability to run more trains is of vital importance. And again, for the umpteenth time, you demonstrate your fundamental misunderstanding of the issue. A marginal increase in trip time doesn't affect capacity; it might merely require that more trains be run to maintain the same frequency of service (and so, it might make service more expensive). A decrease in terminal capacity will, however, limit the frequency of service that can be run on the line (since there is only one southern terminal).
