[quote user="Cricketer"] What type of service levels are run on transit and subway systems in North America over Christmas? Here in Britain we have NOTHING, yes nothing, on Christmas Day, and a pretty restricted service on Boxing Day.  [/quote] In most large cities in the United States, e.g. New York, Washington, Dallas, etc., public transit service on Christma usually adheres to a holiday schedule.  These schedules frequently are the same as those for any weekend. In Dallas, Texas, where I lived for 31 years before moving to the Austin area, the bus and light rail trains run on a holiday schedule, which means relatively light service in the morning.  It usualy builds during the afternoon.  However, the Trinity Railway Express between Dallas and Fort Worth does not run on Christmas or other major holidays.  In fact, it does not run on Sundays, which makes travel for its dependents without an alternative form of transport difficult.  One can get there on a bus, but it is a challenging trip requiring several transfers.  In Austin the city buses run on Christmas as well as other major holidays.  However, the suburban buses do not run.  The suburban service is really intended for commuters, most of whom have a car, so the number of people inconvenienced by the absence of service is minimal.
