JubaionBx12+SBS Posted July 3, 2010 Share #1 Posted July 3, 2010 Let's compare the frequency of service that major transit systems around the world offer to see who is really getting the most service for their money. Lets tart with any posts regarding frequencies from London, Paris, Tokyo or any other megametropolis you can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Easy Posted July 4, 2010 Share #2 Posted July 4, 2010 Top frequency in Paris is every 105 seconds on Line 1, soon to be every 90 seconds with automation. In Los Angeles the red and purple lines are every 600 seconds which is a combined 300 seconds on the trunk. Undoubtedly the worst of any city its size.

Citaro Posted July 4, 2010 Share #4 Posted July 4, 2010 commuter and high speed trains in Germany Cologne - Berlin: hourly Moenchengladbach (little town) - Cologne: hourly Moenchengladbach -Neuss (village) : hourly Muenster (little town) - Duesseldorf: hourly Hamburg- Munich: hourly Frankfurt - Munich: hourly etc You can ride hourly from point A to point B in the whole country. In the city of cologne you can ride every 10 minutes with the same metro. In my village you can ride every 15 minutes with a bus into the next city. Even the isolated village/town has a hourly commuter or bus service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alargule Posted July 4, 2010 Share #5 Posted July 4, 2010 Amsterdam's metro lines all run at a peak frequency of 8 tph. On combined stretches that can accumulate to 24 tph. There are plans to disentangle all lines, so that each line will have its own right of way and be isolated from other lines. If that is to happen, each line will run 16-20 tph. Rotterdam's metro lines run at similar frequencies. Keep in mind that the combined number of inhabitants of both cities is about 1/6th of New York's... Edit: maybe a bit more impressive is the frequency of inter-city trains. In the near future, there are plans to run up to 6 tph (one train every 10 min) on the most congested corridors: Eindhoven-Amsterdam (about 80 miles, serving two cities in between); Eindhoven-The Hague (about 70 miles, serving five cities in between, including Rotterdam) and Amsterdam-Rotterdam (high speed line). The Dutch inter-city network carries about 1 million passengers a day, on a total number of 16 mln. inhabitants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pakenhamtrain Posted July 4, 2010 Share #6 Posted July 4, 2010 Melbourne it depends on where you are really. Most lines the first train is around 4:30AM and the last train arrives at around 2AM. Weekends it can be as late a a 7:30-8AM start. It's about every 5-20 minutes in peak periods(With a big mix of stopping all stations, express, direct and via loop trains) 10-30 minutes during the off peak periods(A little mix of stoppers, express and shuttles) 20-40 minutes during weekends.(All but one group has stopping all stations trains. Also has shuttles.) 30-60 minutes during nights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
