You sure about that? That sounds like the level for the Q portion.Yes; it is. But the joke about the T route is that it only starts running after hell freezes over. Will the platform doors help people board faster? Not really - probably slower, actually, since that's just making the plumbing more complicated, so it's easier to clog up the drain. How much of the problems of people taking long to board and holding doors stems from the fact that the trains are often late and miss intervals due to one thing or another? Many of them, especially during peak hours. The train falls a little behind time for whatever reason, and then it's taking on more than the scheduled load by 5%.....10%......20%....30%....on and on until there's a conga line of trains stuck behind it. Peter Rosa is always writing about big gaps in service. It seems to happen very often. It does happen; and it's often disastrous to one's commute. |
