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.I could not agree anymore! All of the madness happened between 1pm and 4pm when the boats were still on 30 minute schedules. Extra ferries, extra buses and extra trains are all available at those times so none of this should have taken place. Especially because they SAW the crowds going to the city to the morning. Of course, they were going to be going home at some point. The only reason the S53/S79 got mucked up was because of the ferry madness. |
