Posted by RonInBayside on Sun Jun 15 21:38:46 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 R30A on Sun Jun 15 21:32:28 2008. First of all, thank you for posting relevant numbers."Cortlandt Rector and South ferry stations had a combined turnstile count of roughly 9.5 million riders for the year of 1999. During that same year, the 1 line from 103 to 157 had a turnstile count of roughly 21.6 million people." 9.5/21.6 = 44%. Is this what you are referring to as insignificant? Or is it something else? Your other statements are correct, I believe. "These numbers do not take into account the changes which have occurred since 1999-- The Upper West side has grown considerably, while many jobs have moved from downtown to surrounding areas. " Correct. Will some of these jobs migrate to WTC when the new buildings are finished? We'll wait and see. Gas is $4 a gallon. There's an advantage to being next to all those rail stations. |
