Posted by New Flyer #857 on Tue Nov 21 08:59:13 2023, in response to Re: My LA Metro rides today, posted by Easy on Mon Nov 20 17:05:25 2023. Nightbus can be done in NY. There are some hurdles to clear (overnight construction at bridges/tunnels that can mess up the whole line, the limited number of East River crossings on road vs. on rail, as examples) but I stand against the whole "laws of physics don't apply in NY" mentality. If there's good strategy and good will, a night-bus operation can occur in NY as in other major cities around the world. A limited example was seen during Covid, though that was rushed together because of the situation. In more tranquil times, a design from scratch can take place that really helps people get around.None of the above, however, takes into account if it's worth it to shut the subway system down overnight though. I understand even during Covid the trains just kept running without passengers? That's ok but there would have to be demonstrable benefits to the overnight shutdown, including less service diversions during the day, possibly lower cost of operations (can some station/tunnel lights be turned off at night?), etc. Another way of putting it is if it turns out that by the time the shutdown procedures are complete it's practically time to reopen, then eh. . . |
