With train delays reaching record highs more on that in a bit the MTA is turning to an old idea to combat sluggish service. According to Marlene Naanes, the transit authority may resurrect skip-stop service to improve train speeds and ease overcrowding. The MTA started skip-stop service in 1989 when residents in areas served only by local trains wanted what The Times called “more frequent and faster service.” But skip-stop service met its demise in 2005 due to increased ridership and greater service demands to the otherwise-skipped stations. To revive this one-time solution to a problem of under-crowding may just exacerbate the problems that brought about its demise three years ago without offering a satisfactory solution to the issues of slow service and overly-crowded trains. ©2008 Second Ave. Sagas A New York City Subway Blog.
