All this for a two track line with no express service. No way to bypass stalled trains or construction work and it’ll be maxed out with commuters a lot sooner.Which is interesting given that two track subways are the de facto standard for subway construction and with the exception of London, Chicago, and Philadelphia, no other system has purposely aimed for an express-local set up. They just build another line for another corridor... Besides, it's not as if they're going to run the 40 to 60 tph at peak to warrant the expense of the additional tracks... You’d assume that with our technology The MTA could theoretically complete the line faster, that requires a reallocation of resources to do so. In other words, are you willing to pay $3.00 fare (or more) to pay to speed up construction? Besides, Parsons had the luxury of being able to rip up the street and basically tell anybody who complained to go away. |
