That way every train is a semi-express train.You need station spacing per demand consistent with maintaining ideal throughput, otherwise you have to figure out how to get people to board/alight the train faster. And if you put the station spacing so far apart as to be more than comfortable walking distance away, people are just going to go for some other option making the huge capital expenditure something of a waste. As it is, SAS borders on that anyway, as operationally described anyhow, something like 8 peak tph added for several billion dollars; for a fraction of that much, let's just max out 4/5/6 service first. |
