Unfortunately, deep bore routes are a disservice to riders. First there is the added expense of more and deeper escalators/elevators requiring more maintenance every year, and worse, each time a rider enters/exits at a station there is the time penalty of a longer time from sidewalk to platform. The original IRT and BMT stations in Manhattan got it right; s short distance down directly to platform level. Quick |
