It's one of a number of useful metrics that can be used. One goal of transit construction is to reduce car use by allowing more commuters access to (faster) transit. These numbers measure that using available data. Another factor the MTA is using is cumulative reduced travel times. It's another factor that you can estimate. IBX and SAS crossing 125th improves those. Reducing overcrowding on existing lines is a third factor that can be measured. All of these factors matter. What we prioritize affects how we weight each factor. |
