If you look at schedules, you can see that they adjust the times for various times of the day(like bus schedules). I think they base it around how long the doors are held open, based on the number of passengers expected. I don't know exactly how it works, but I'm assuming that during midnight, it is expected that the CR opens the doors, waits a few seconds, and closes them, since there are fewer riders, so you shouldn't run "hot".In my personal opinion, the NYCTA subway goes COMPLETELY TO THE CRAP HOLE during rush hours. It becomes a pain even to railfan. And the funny thing is that most of the delays, and reroutes have occured during rush hours from my experience. Even short turning a B train between west fourth and 34th...DURING PEAK to go back to Brighton. CPW expres goes to a crawl as well. And recently, probably because someone at managment has been jerking with numbers too much(bananas up the rear), PATH has been going down the toilet as well. Standing room only at 8:00 at night? They HAVE to be making profit here, and if they say they don't, they're probably LYING. I KNOW running a railroad can't be that expensive(unless you jerk around with the $$$$). And PATH maintanence isn't that great. Practically every train has FLATS on it, NO JOKE, and looking at all those loose screws I see, they've been running the cars with minimum maintanence for MANY years now(but those cars are well built, so they can take it). The only real work I have seen recently is crews replacing old incandescent signal bulbs with packs of LEDs. At least MTA seems to keep the number of flats down, to their credit. |
