I guess all of that is true, but dwell times aren't the only reason for delays in the NYC subway and from I've read aren't even the main reason. Often long dwell times are caused by other issues on the line.If you want to compare capacity in the real world, look at the Moscow Metro. It is slightly shorter than the NYC subway, and has far fewer stations, yet carries 50% more riders. And it carries them much more on schedule because they don't have all the delays associated with merging and diverging lines. And IINM it has the lines with the most TPH in the world. Their stations average about 1 per mile and I'm suggesting maybe 1 per 0.75 mile or so for NYC. |
