<7> to start 1 hour later

[Amtrak7]

In the NYCT committee meeting materials for this month, they list a bunch of subway schedule changes, most of which are relatively minor (1-3min) reductions in frequency. However, they do plan one relatively major change, which is to move the 7 express start time from 5:20 to 6:30 and add more local trips during that time.

Also: 21:00-22:00 service reduced to 10min from 7.5min

Didn't they move it UP to 5:20 not too long ago?

WCBS 2 is reporting that the push-back to 6:20am from 5:30am would begin in December and thirty-eight bus routes would be cut back in this second round which would save $3.7 million dollars per year.

 

Slightly Off-Topic: WCBS 2 in the same story reports that the (M2), which will run from Middle Village to Forest Hills beginning next Monday, is the filthiest subway line with only 32-percent of its' cars considered clean. The and the are the tidiest, each with 65-percent of their cars considered clean.

For some reason, I culdn't open up the document, but, one question:

 

How does the cut back of the save any money? They have to pay the crews for the extra runtime of the , since it takes 7-10 minutes longer to make the local run.

This isn't exactly a cut. Last year they did the exact OPPOSITE of this, which was making express service start one hour earlier, from 6:30 to 5:20.

I thought the runs express all day.

But in PM they switch express start time from 12:24 to 2:54

It used to, then it was reduced to rush hours only.

Most middays, there's GO that interfe .

 

This is bad moved.

 

With NY Mets, US Tennis Opens, and concert at CitiField, well as Dragon Boat Festival, Cinco de Mayo, will be more crowded, which is already like sardine like in Japan.

Do those events go on at 5 in the morning?

I would like to attend a Mets game at 5 AM if there is ever one.

Which is never.

This is getting ridiculous. Prendergast told NY1 that these reductions are not about money, but about the routine adjustment of service that occurs with application of ridership guidelines and the effects of the big service cut package. Well, the guidelines were changed in the service cut package, so everything would have to be adjusted to match per rules, but it's also a sneaky way of saving money. I feel that the MTA should have slipstreamed these cuts into the big reduction package so they wouldn't get so much public attention.
