It would be pointless. We have only three trains (between 6 a.m. and 7:30 a.m.), and they arrive roughly every 30 minutes. If PATH ran every six minutes, nobody from Metro-North would be getting on them.

December is an anomaly. We had an array of trouble. We had contractor problems, where contractors weren't able to clear the tracks in time for rush hour.

The M-7 is the best performing car that Metro-North has ever had. It survived last winter without a single weather-related breakdown. It performed in today's storm without incident. The M-7 travels more than 700,000 miles without a breakdown, although the contract specified only 100,000 miles between breakdowns. The M-7 put Metro-North on track for a record on-time performance for 2005 of more than 97 percent.
