Where did you notice these two points before?

4) Turn around time at the ends of lines using single end equipment 
is shorter than that required for double-end equipment. The 
operator doesn't have to lug the handles, money changer, his supplies 
and the fare box to the other end of the car and flip all those 
blankety-blank seats. You can go through a loop, fill in the day 
card, and be out in 30 seconds. The double end car will require 
several minutes. So single end cars on a line might save a car or 
two in the rush hour and that, in today's dollars is $2 million for 
an articulated or about $1 million for a single car.

5) Traffic congestion favors single end equipment because you can 
turn it on private property.
