It doesn't decrease it by much if you are capable of entertaining yourself using a phone without wifi for 20 minutes. People waste time on their phones in bed all the time anyway, having to do it on a $2.60 train is a first world problem.

Disagree, one of the best things about being a software engineer is that you DON'T have to pal around with rich people to do well financially.

Reply to More than 20% of LIRR trains can’t fit into Grand Central Madison tunnel by Nscience
So? More than 60% of trains aren't going to GCM. More than 70% probably shouldn't be. As far as I know, that leaves a safe margin of 40% for extra repairs, issues with the cars, etc. If the fleet was that bad to begin with, then that's the issue, not the GCM tunnel. People are just using the outrage about misallocation to GCM to surface other debates.
This is not the issue. It's common to deal with loading gauge mismatches when you have multiple models on multiple lines. The A and B subway divisions aren't fully compatible. Countries across the world deal with this, even the ones who do it right.
