I remember a time when the lengths of the TRE trains were long I wonder why they shorten the length to 2 to 3 cars is it decreasing ridership or a shortage in rollingstock available?

[@gdub350]

Maybe shorter trains so they can create more trains running and decrease wait times?

Decreased ridership. Trains only go once an hour on average

@@OsmHVAC that’s only during off peak times. During peak times there are 2 WBs and 2 EBs making for a total of 4 trains an hour
