10:03 pm
detailed by people getting through their normal place to un0 load when you have had cars in the tunnel similar to a 4 car train you shouldn't have to stop at one side of the station you need a signal that one day we're not stopping here but further in the station so everyone wants to get on the k is there and so you really have the efficiency of a 4 car train that helps to reduce the upcoming problem were going a urge you to have with subway cars when it gets down to less than a minute and a half i have details that's what you're seeing even with more than a minute of details you have to increase the service on the metmora cars e.r. trains reduce
10:04 pm
the head was so this step would be almost as good as having less cars and less trains in the subways a three or four car train and stopping twice at a station is not doing it right. i hope there's going to be a way to signal to people no. you don't board here you're going to board over there you have plenty of time people can walk the length of the station in 20 or 30 seconds this will effect and improve your efficiency overall >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> (calling names). >> good afternoon mr. nolan i've been living here 27 years and cab driver i see the change and
