Posted by KLCS on Sat Apr 12 22:25:55 2008, in response to R Train Improvements Instead, posted by KLCS on Sat Apr 12 20:45:28 2008. I'm thinking of an R Saturday schedule: It would be something similar to this:In the morning (7-10AM), there is a sort of a 'peak' period when people go to work and early shoppers head to Manhattan. Trains would run every 5-6 minutes, with every other train ending at Whitehall St. Then ridership tapers for a bit during the midday and trains should run the full route every 8 minutes. Around (2-6PM), there is a PM 'peak' period with shoppers heading home and poeple heading into the city to hang out, etc. The 5-6 minute schedule will resume with every other train terminating at Whitehall St. After 6, trains would run every 8 minutes until 8-9PM and then drop offf after that. Things would be different on Sundays of course. But this shows, if actually implemented as scheduled, with no GO's or supplemental schedules, this could be enough local service for Queens Blvd. AND enough service for riders headed to Broadway in Manhattan AND for Broadway riders also. And it will probabaly happen that there will be R32's with Whitehall Street, South Ferry and 95 Street, Brooklyn signs mixed up. =) Kyle |
