"John R Cambron" <*cambronj@chesapeake.net*> wrote in message news:tjshpfbufkjt63@corp.supernews.com... > > http://www.chesapeake.net/~cambronj/wmata/red-bird.htm New York's lengthwise seating makes so much more sense than WMATA's when it comes to crush capacity. WMATA aisles are an annoying 1.5 people wide. New York's aisles are 2.5 people wide -- which allows for people to get on/off quickly, which in turn allows for shorter dwell times. The lengthwise seating is more flexible, allowing large people to be comfortable while children can take up less width. And there's space for packages -- the lengthwise seats and the wide ailes provide for this. -- Michael Malak malak@claygency.com
