Posted by WillD on Thu Jul 17 00:53:37 2008, in response to Re: ''You Can't Sit Down'': CTA, posted by Forest Glen on Thu Jul 17 00:40:20 2008. That's simply not true. The whole idea behind this idea being floated is to gauge public support. They are doing it with an eye toward actually changing the seating arrangement, likely to a longitudinal seating arrangement. This is distinctly different from WMATA's approach because WMATA can add cars and expand to 8 car trains, a consequence of their newer system, so it is not absolutely neccesary for them to change anything within the cars. Chicago does not have that luxury and has crowding problems which are as bad, if not worse, than Metro. Thus the CTA can threaten to put two cars without seats in each train and then compromise to adopt a longitudinal seating arrangement which provides a balance between seating and standee space. |
