"extending the E would have the principle advantage of reducing the amount of bus operations. It would result in people who had to ride the bus to Jamaica riding to Springfield,"True. But the E would attract new riders on top of that. " with fewer people getting on at Jamaica." Not really. Buses come to Jamaica from lots of places and those patrons would see a half-filled train. Jamaica Center is still a zoo, and now there's less room on the train. Well, actually, I take it back partly. If Springfield Blvd is designed with, say three tracks and has gpood tail tracks, it could handle many more trains than Jamaica Center can now. So you could run more E trains than you do now (say, 16 tph instead of 12 - but then you have to fit in the F trains at the merge). OK, so you could be right... |
