Some people here don't understand the concept of capacity.It is NOT how many seats you stuff in a railcar. It is thru-put of people per hour. It is hindered by slow acceleration, deceleration, poor ingress, egress, and NYPS station slot dwell time, which has come to define NJT. It is now common place for Trenton locals to take 100 minutes whereas it took Arrow III's 70 minutes 15 years ago. 3 additional stops does not explain it all. The inner doors on the MLV's should have been double width. That is horrid industrial design to keep them narrow where 2 stairways merge. |
