I thought this be a fun little game MTA Trivia. Its the game were anything goes. You can ask about the Subways,SIRR,LIRR, and Metro North. Im sorry if there is already a thread about this.

Here are the rules:
  • No Repeats
  • You can only ask up to 3 Questions a day
  • Use the Train Symbols (Ex: I ask a question about a train. You answere like this... Its the (7) train.)
  • Anybody can Ask a Question
  • Only 1 hint per day per Question
  • If the question you asked is right the person that asked it has to hit the like button but only the person who ask the question can like the answer
  • No rude remarks
  • Be respectful
  • Have Fun
Ok ill start off with an easy one.
Name the Three lines that start and end in the same Borough?

UPDATE: I'm putting a new gallery featuring pictures of buses I shot. Here's the link:http://transitjeopar...te-gallery-pics .To be fully complete, it might take several months,as I have a lot of photos and I am trying to get them all into the gallery (over 1,000). Be patient, enjoy what I have, and come back each day to see more pictures
