It is dumb with the R running express to 71st Ave. What about the shoppers at Queens Center Mall? It is the last weekend of the year and there are shoppers shopping for the new years presents and returns. Why they can’t do it late night when the E is local. Could they hold that off for the next weekend or late nights?
CBTC work is done by contractors. The MTA can’t restrict access windows or else the contractor will claim the MTA is to blame for delays. Hence R is express during the holidays when NYCT Subway work is supposed to be suspended for the holidays.
If you postponed engineering work every time there was a popular event on in NYC you’d basically never get anything done because every weekend would be ‘special’ and could not be transit-less because of X Parade, Y Sports Event or Z Holiday.
It is a balance for the planners to schedule all of this work in
Plus doing it short over night shifts over several days is more expensive than doing it in a weekend.
If they are going to the mall to shop that implies they aren’t going to work. The cashier isn’t going to refuse the sale because they are ten minutes late. Or a sporting event or a parade or…
Postponing the work now would only lead to a worse workload later.
