Here are the results for the 96th St extension from NYMTC's Hub Based Travel Reports for 2016 (before SAS) and 2019 (after SAS) Tables 14A, 14B and 14C. https://www.nymtc.org/Portals/0/Pdf/Hub%20Bound/2019%20Hub%20Bound/DM_TDS_Hub_Bound_Travel_2019.pdf https://www.nymtc.org/Portals/0/Pdf/Hub%20Bound/2016%20Hub%20Bound/DM_TDS_Hub_Bound_Travel_2016-FINAL.pdf Number of inbound passengers crossing 60th St CBD cordon threshold 8-9am 2016: Lex Exp: 28,230; Lex Loc: 21,033 Total: 49,263 8-9am 2019: Lex Exp: 21,647; Lex Loc: 13,005; SAS: 12,872; Total: 47,524 7-10am 2016: Lex Exp: 65,889; Lex Loc: 50,430; Total: 116,319 7-10am 2019: Lex Exp: 51,805; Lex Loc: 32,298; SAS: 28,557; Total: 112,660 24 Hrs 2016: Lex Exp: 187,496; Lex Loc: 161,600; Total: 349,096 24 Hrs 2019: Lex Exp: 152,463; Lex Loc: 119,784; SAS: 79,827; Total: 352,074 All it did was re-arrange the deck chairs. Assuming an extension would result in a different outcome would fall under Einstein's definition. |
