I'm not tracking this at all.

That is assuming the train only stops for a minute. Counting deceleration and acceleration time lost, a stop probably costs closer to 2 minutes.

Okay. Six minutes. Mindset doesn't change. Eight minutes. Still the same. The commutes are long because of their location.

Then as you mentioned, the cost. Not only to build but to maintain

None of us know the costs of the smaller stations, well I don't, can someone find and post the numbers? Going to assume they're much less then the big stations on the other lines. That's a small quibble to be honest. Are the sidewalk stations downtown all that much to maintain? Was the old 10th St station hard to maintain? Besides cleaning and the occasionally bucket of lime green paint for the rails.
