The effort is part of a four-year-old initiative rolled out by former New York City Transit President and 'train daddy' Andy Byford to speed up subways around the Five Boroughs, and his successor, Rich Davey.
A trains are running faster after Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials upped speed limits on stretches of the line and worked to move trains better in and out of its yard uptown.
“207th street has been a challenge for us, particularly with getting trains out on time,” said Senior Vice President for Subways Demetrius Crichlow. The rate of trains running on time, which the MTA counts as within five minutes of schedule, increased from June to August by 5.4% to 73.7%.
