Gotta love service cuts disguised as ‘safety improvement’...reminds me of NYC.

FWIW, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if doing the opposite — increasing overnight service to, say, 20 min headways — would actually increase per-train loads; people are vastly more likely to use transit when the median wait isn’t 22.5 mins.
