Doesn't just about every passenger train have more than 2 carriages? I'd guess the average is closer to 10.

You’re the second person to say this yet the article mentions specifically the 2 car trains the mta runs?

I don’t get why this point is being jumped on.

Yes as the article states there are 2 car trains.

OK but the article also says:

- There's only one 2-car line, the Franklin Ave. Shuttle

- That line is converting to have 3-car trains.

So to begin with, the set of small enough trains is the tiniest portion of everything the subway does, not even covering all the small "shuttle" lines. And then even that tiny exception is set to end. Big difference between "applies to the busier routes" and "applies to essentially all the routes."

During off hours and overnight trains are much shorter.

The article counts all the off peak and overnight trains, including shuttles. Even out of all of that, only the Franklin Shuttle is 2 cars and will soon be switching to 3 cars.
