It would be nice if CBTC allowed the train to pull into the station at a normal clip, but when the L Train pulls into E.105 St it slows to a crawl even before itbgets to the station and then after it is lined up the conductor still waits about 35-40 secs before opening the doors. I think that is just ridiculous and what I meant by the old way is that in the "golden age" of the subways (over 50 yrs ago) the trains operated at impressive headways with a hell of a lot more passengers than they have now. My two uncles were both motormen at that time one on the 16(Canarsie Line) and the other on the 1(Brighton Express). What's the excuse for the pitiful transit operations of today? automated announcements and clean cars mean shit to me, I don't care if the train is ratty and shakes like crazy as long as it get's me where I want to go! |
