And the cars last a lot longer that way. Sounds good to me. Except that if I
allow six days for a job that should take a couple of hours I usually fail to
meet the deadline.

Don't think so. Six cars are likewise allowed for Library Street (10-minute
peak hour service over a round trip route of 1.4 mi,) and four for Corey
Avenue (quarter-hourly over 1.3 mi.) There's something going on here that
we don't understand. Whether peak hour through service or ?????, I don't
know.
I am just finishing up a more complete version of the table, with some
explanations, in a WinWord file. I shall post it within a day or two and invite
input (sorry, binary haters, it just doesn't work as a text file.)
