But dwell time is a small problem compared with running time. New York’s subways are slower today than they were a century ago. Kyle Kirschling, a performance analyst at N.Y.C. Transit, met with Byford for the first time this spring, and told him that he believes most delays are caused by train operators simply driving too slowly. “There’s not enough emphasis on the idea that every second counts,” he said. “We need clear, objective rules for operators. Never stop longer than three seconds at a yellow. Don’t brake till you’re in the station. Go to full power straight out of the station.” Kirschling, a rawboned young man from Wisconsin, had written a master’s thesis at Columbia about long-term productivity decline in New York City’s mass transit. Byford enlisted him on the spot to help him develop a new fact-based delay-attribution system.
