They have more than two rails on most lines and, as such, can shut down one rail without affecting service.

NYC and Chicago have significantly higher population and density and NYCs MTA is drowning in debt, so much so that they're looking at having to shut down entire subway lines.

Probably not the model we want to follow.

I haven't heard of any subway lines being shutdown, they usually threaten to cut low ridership suburban branches.

NYC is fascinating how they do 24hr service. More tracks, more trains, and every model of car is pressure washable, top to bottom, inside and out. I love the old wicker seats, but alas...
