Posted by Stephen Bauman on Thu Jan 22 21:31:49 2015, in response to Re: AirTrain Proposed To Connect (7) Line With LaGuardia Airport ($450 Million, 5 years), posted by NIMBYkiller on Thu Jan 22 21:08:49 2015. The ridership east of Willets Pt is pretty easy to estimate. The annual Main St turnstile count is 19 million. Estimating ridership west of Willets Pt is trickier because of the transfer stations. Maximum loading occurs between Woodside and Queensboro Plaza. Significant numbers of passengers transfer to the BMT at QBP.However, the Flushing Line is hardly maxed out at 28 tph. They used to operate 36 tph and still could, if they had sufficient rolling stock and managerial skill. They lack the managerial skill and when CBTC is implemented will lack sufficient rolling stock. OTOH, the Astoria Line is maxed out at 20 tph. It has to merge with trains from the 11th St cutoff. |
