Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, the sixth in a series of reports, explores the traffic patterns of the New York Subway. The author, a consulting engineer, provides the results of studies analyzing passenger and train movements, which were undertaken in preparation for earlier reports covering safety, comfort, and capacity. The author presents data regarding the traffic volume of the Subway, observing there are more seat miles operated each day than there are passenger miles traveled, suggesting that if passenger movement could coincide with seat movement, there would be a seat for every passenger. In the construction of future subways and in the operation of the current one, efforts should be made to increase carrying capacity during peak hours when the trains are most crowded. The author shares plans for improving the system's capacity, which include: adding doors to each side of each car, speed control signals at the approach to each station, and the addition of cars to each express train during rush hours. This book provides insight into how the New York Subway can be made more efficient and accommodate its growing ridership.
