The 5 service change states trains runs every 30 minutes. That seems too long! Why they cant suspend the 5 and replace with shuttle buses. This way workers can do without interruption
Because shuttle buses would probably take longer to move fewer people, and they’re significantly more expensive than one train.
Take a look at the map of that interlocking. The trains may not be interrupting work.
5 trains run along their own right-of-way, as opposed to most lines that run along under or above a main street. It would be such a circuitous route to get a shuttle bus from 180th St to Dyre Ave that a train every half hour makes more sense.
I’m surprised they’re continuing the work until Tuesday morning. I didn’t think Presidents’ Day was that widespread of a holiday. Did they do this in past years?
Presidents’ Day service has been on a Saturday schedule as far back as I can remember. That implies roughly Saturday-level ridership.
I understand the Saturday service, but continuing weekend work? I bet there were a lot of annoyed commuters in LIC today.
Why any more annoyed than on Saturday or Sunday?
Long weekend GO’s give the contractor an extra 24 hours of productivity. They shouldn’t be passed up.
