I have to disagree with some of the dataI think there is some confusion and misunderstanding here, and not all of it is your fault. For example, what does "average passenger load as a % of train capacity" really mean? Is it the average load at every station for every train during the peak hour? Is it the average load for every train in the peak hour at the peak loading point? If it is the former, then it makes total sense that the numbers shown will be much lower than if it is the latter, which would much better reflect the "crowding" that most people experience. Even during middays it's often SRO. I don't think this is showing middays. Also, SRO does not mean the train is any where near capacity. (same as the 5 train-except between Bowling Green and Grand Central). Are you only thinking about the sections of the line that you yourself ride? Are you ignoring the (5) traveling through the UES??? (unless the they counted the local and express). Of course they counted the local and express!!!! There is one row for the 7! There is no way more people ride the C than D. That's not what it's saying. I think it's saying that the average passenger load per train (either at the peak loading point or along the entire line, I'm not sure) is higher for the C than D. Remember, the C has a lower capacity per train that the D, and it also appears, based on the public schedule, to run less TPH in the SB AM peak than the D. Therefore, it is totally plausible that C has a higher avg load. |
