I disagree with you and I disagree with chipper10. And we went over this extensively last year with everybody's heels dug into their own hard assed opinions, but as I've said a number of times, memories are very short around here.In the case of Philadelphia, it was like trying to fit 10 lbs. of sugar into a 5 lb. bag. The trains WERE running at capacity, but there were too many people trying to get there at the same time and into a relatively small area. In the case of NY yesterday, I heard of no problems getting there because they were traveling during the tail end of the rush. The problem was getting out. The SI ferries were laid up not being used, with no additional headways offered. Same for the buses between Brooklyn and SI. The buses were available, but regular headways were operated, no extras. Last year, despite SEPTA running everything they had, it still wasn't enough. From what I know here, we did have to equipment but didn't use it. Of course, believe what you want to believe. |
