Chris89292 Posted Wednesday at 09:59 PM Share #30701 Posted Wednesday at 09:59 PM I’ve seen another transit system on instagram with platform barriers that are designed better than the cheap hideous ones on our subways, it’s located in Japan and the design is similar to ours but built with iron metal, it has space for doors to open, it’s not fully closed off but it looks very modern type, unlike ours with yellow paint on it, looks like something out of the 60’s, MTA is downgrading so bad now a days 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are testing the concept. the gates in Japan are supposed to be permanent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zacster Posted Friday at 02:08 PM Share #30707 Posted Friday at 02:08 PM Yea, but it looks like they don't want these gates to work and no thought went into them. They were forced to do something. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t seem to be the case when the MTA is adding them randomly on the , the pilot test should’ve occured on just the original 3 stations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's too small of a testing pool to determine the effectiveness of the barriers. Not all stations were created equal so it's better to test it out on multiple stations to see where the barriers could be most effective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted yesterday at 01:32 AM Share #30710 Posted yesterday at 01:32 AM There's a change in the train schedule that took effect on April 1st, when the was back at 63rd St, Roosevelt Island and 21 St-Queensbridge: * There are only 2 trains during the AM rush that goes out of service, the usual to Coney Island from the tripper to 96 St and just 7:47 AM from Forest Hills to 59 St, Brooklyn. They both come back from the Coney Island Yard PM hours as a 3:17 and 3:48 from 36 St station where the and are at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because all those drop outs were the extra R jobs that were added for the GO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before there were 3 drop-outs (two 59 St trips in addition to the 96 St trip). I think there are less drop-out trips now since midday service is every 8 minutes instead of every 10 minutes, and likely before the service increase, there were trains that get taken out of service at 71 Av as well after the rush hour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
