Yes, that is all very obvious. But... That will not have a significant effect on the ridership level at the peak load point because, I suspect that most people who will be working at the WTC site who will use the 1 at its peak load point are ALREADY BE USING THE LINE TO COMMUTE TO WHEREVER THEY COMMUTE. Also, a significant portion of ridership from 72-96 walk to the adjacent express stations, as well as a significant portion of ridership from 103(especially from 145-207) and from 50-66th stations would be riding the IND instead.To summarize, there are two reasons why the WTC should have little effect on service at the peak load point-- 1. There are better alternatives for these riders. (the IND and broadway IRT express lines) 2. Those who will ride the 1 train through the peak load point, are ALREADY doing so, with different destinations. |
