MTA SERVICE IMPROVEMENTS?
I thought it would be useful to regurgitate this press release from the MTA for everyone, but then I got tired. I challenge anyone to make sense of it: “Service improvements on the 2, 3, 4 and 5 lines during weekday morning and evening rush hours will go into effect on May 18.” [Ok, I understood that much, but it continues.] “These schedule adjustments, presented to the MTA Board in January, add more trips during high ridership hours that previously had less service.” [Silly phrasing, but ok…] “Some train trips during AM and PM rush hours are shifting to earlier or later across all four subway lines to better align with ridership patterns…Based on ridership and on-time performance data, select trips have moved closer to the start or end of rush hours while others have been adjusted to service the rush hour peak.”
