Massive Changes Needed if Switching is to be reduced, posted by AlM on Sun Feb 7 15:54:37 2016. From a previous message:"The percentage of Brighton riders who want Montage access can't increase." Actually it can, even without the building of more office buildings in the downtown area of Manhattan. There is no iron clad "natural law" or "physical law" or iron-clad constraint that simply can not be "broken" - in this regard. Having an increase in the percentage of Brighton riders who want Montague Tunnel access is certainly in the realm of the possible - it is simply not an "impossible" happening. It simply easy to imagine that there are can be shifts in the composition of workers headed to downtown and their residences, or changes in the locations of work places, etc. For example when the Freedom Tower and other related office buildings opens - it easy to see that workers will be traveling to those new work places - even from Brighton subway stations. There are other office buildings downtown that employ workers from many places - imagine that. I've been told that the days of segregating certain people from certain work places or residential neighborhoods is over with. There is a big difference between "un-likely", "probably not" and "impossible", etc. Mike |
