MTA subway car purchase plans will offer minimal service increases between
today and 2005.
· The worst rush hour train is the G, which only runs once every 11 minutes.
· Critical subway lines like the 2, 3, D, N, R and others run only every 6-10 minutes at rush hour.
Green called on NYC Transit to add rush hour service on many lines, and on the MTA to increase subway car purchases, delay retiring cars slated for the scrap-heap and accelerate work on the 2nd Avenue subway.
Green said other world-cities like Tokyo, London, Paris, Moscow and Mexico run rush-hour trains on much tighter headways than New York.
