"You observed ten express trains and six locals. This suggests that the Lexington local is running below its capacity in rush hours."
No, because the sample size is far too small and the observations occurred on one day.
But the SAS SDEIS says the same thing. The Daily News also reported plans by NYCT recently to add more locals by year's end. So the conclusion seems likely to be true even if not supported by the observations.
"If the upper east side is so short of trains, perhaps they should try running more Lexington locals."
Again, you have no data to reach this conclusion.
But if the News is right, NYCT came to the same conclusions. Presumably based on much more data.
