Posted by RonInBayside on Sun Jun 15 12:35:36 2008, in response to Re: Keeping old South Ferry station open for the Lexington line after the 1 moves to its new station, posted by trainsarefun on Sat Jun 14 09:27:24 2008. "its designed capacity constraint of 24 tph should come back soon enough to rear its ugly head."The current station only handles 20 tph; the new station will berth 20% more trains and handle all 10 cars at once. Effectively that means the new station can handle at least half again as many passengers as the current station. Once the WTC reopens (a bunch of new towers with tens of tousands of people working in them) we'll see what happens. One thing you forget is that 20 tph was enough to handle the WTC when 50,000 people were working in them. Of course gas was not $4 a gallon, so we have a new ballgame. "The plan for limited capacity is so brilliant that only one person on has defended it," Naturally with your vast foaming experience you would have built a far better station. Does your foam also cure much faster than concrete with rebar does? Maybe MTA can save on materials... |
