Not necessarily true; though the CPW express is scheduled to save three minutes, it's often saved more than that for me (especially on weekends). Further, if you use the same number of trains to operate the (D) local, you stretch the headway, adding an additional detriment in the form of increased wait times. This detriment doesn't just affect Concourse riders, but all other (D) riders.Also, the benefit gained by CPW local riders is offset by the detriment on Concourse; weekend Concourse ridership (both average and aggregate) is higher than average/aggregate weekend CPW local ridership. It'd be more beneficial (in my honest opinion) to increase (C) service. *** formerly shadyelstation. my blog |
