But you're not gonna wait too long for a train to arrive (hopefully, possibly, please?)Man do they ever look like cheap garbage that's completely unsuited for our climate. But I'm still really happy to see that they're getting done!
Well at least it's getting built. That rt conversion on the other hand...
I suspect it'll be bilingual
Never mind, all the downtown people "who really matter" will stay nice and warm under ground. ?Man do they ever look like cheap garbage that's completely unsuited for our climate. But I'm still really happy to see that they're getting done!
If doing that, they might as well make it high platform. High-floor vehicles, more capacity.
Honestly the whole high floor LRVs is now a dream. Almost all if not all new systems/lines are built with low floor LRVs.
Almost, but not all. If there are benefits in using high floor vehicles, I don't see the need to follow the trend.
You do know that none of the current subway stations regardless if they are completely underground have either heating or air conditioning and neither will any of the crosstown stations. Subway stations are impossible to heat and cool because of the tunnel being open at each end as well as the ventilation system for the tunnel itself.
Unless they install Platform Screen Doors but even if they did, I suspect they would choose half height ones to save money.
Even if they do put in platform edge doors they still aren't likely going to be retrofitted for heating and cooling systems. Retrofitting HVAC into the stations would likely be very expensive and very hard to do.
But there are geothermal benefits of building stations underground. Temperature's remain around the ground temperature, which is almost always in a comfortable range. It gets worse when crowds show up.
