"Most of these people will be coming from elsewhere, and even if they are from the neighborhoods the 1 serves, I suspect they would take the generally faster 7th ave Express, or 8th ave line."OK, I agree with you on that. However, let's say you're leaving the WTC site at the end of your work day and you're taking the West Side IRT home. You're not going to start on the express, because your closest station is the local station. So you'll board the #1, and transfer at your first opportunity. You're really an express customer, but you started out clicking the local turnstile to get in. Sure, you could board at Chambers. But what if you're leaving your building closer to the other stops (we are assuming here than Cortlandt has reopened, which it will at some point). |
