If you have to reduce headways amongst the three lines for that choke point of seventh avenue, you are doing so by reducing the frequency across the entire city.

There are elasticity guidelines that suggest even with four car units.You will lose some total ridership ridership.

If you would like to quickly learn about transit planning, especially mass transit, I suggest you look for a book titled Human Transit
