Posted by Fytton on Fri Sep 28 10:39:18 2007, in response to Re: A Set of R62A's Try to Answer an Age-old Question on the 7 Line, posted by Stephen Bauman on Fri Sep 28 10:32:44 2007. 'There are approximately 407 cars and 37 trainsets cars assigned to the Flushing Line, including spares. 31 trainsets are required for peak operation. That means installing approximately 1000 signs on the cars.''Local/Express signs are needed at only the 7 stations from Times Square to Queensboro Plaza. Placing 11 signs on each platform (overkill) would involve only 77 signs.' Of course, well-organised transit operations have informative destination information *both* on the trains *and* on the platforms. And still the stupid geese ask each other 'Is this the train to xxx?' |
