Re: BART gets new fare gates

He was amazed at NYC's 24/7 operation and wondered how maintenance was done.

The correct answer might have been that maintenance wasn't done and that's why we're in trouble now.


This is where I would say NYC is in its own category. At least on weekends/holidays and probably more than that, the case for a systemwide shutdown is hard to make. There are sufficient crowds at the shoulders of the overnight period that by the time you execute the shutdown it's time to reopen.

That being said, NYC should at least experiment with a night-bus layout or multiple variations, maybe shutting down major portions of the system at a time for proper maintenance, but leaving in place at least some way for most people to get home.
