Here is a list of things I would do w/ the Bronx buses along with a fair explanation for most of them why;  //: The thing with these two routes is how annoyingly similar the two routes are I mean if the Mta wanted them to be that similar they could have called the Bx2: the Bx1A (Idea from Mystic Transit). Another Idea I have is what if the Bx2 gets rerouted to follow the Bxm3 on Vancortlandt Park Av (South and West) to 242nd st this give a better one-seat opportunity between parts in the Bronx. I also think that Concourse should receive an SBS service to phase out the limited Bx1 the Bx2 can also get rid of the local Bx1. To finalize what I'm saying:  Bx1(SBS): W231st- Concourse  Bx2: Vancortlandt Park W242nd  - Concourse  /4A/: the Bx4A continues to be crowded from Parkschester to Westchester Sq while the Bx4 tanks out at Parkschester this is why I think that the Bx4 should be rerouted on Metropolitan Av and have the Bx4A deleted. Last of all I would have the Bx11 extended on Westchester Av (This idea also comes from Mystic Transit).  To sum it up:  Bx4: The Hub - Westchester Sq (via Metropolitan Av)  Bx11: Westchester Sq - Washington Hts : extended to Bay plaza as a most time service.  /: extended to Lga (there's no explanation needed) I'm not the first person to propose this but I've been thinking about this for a long time.  /: For whatever reason the tends to have a weird terminal in my opinion my first thought was to have it end at Westfarms Sq but the Bx36 serves there then I chose to stole another Idea from Mystic Transit to combine the with the at 169st to give a one seat ride to the heights. But wait there more another thing I was thinking is how Transit b/w NJ and New York city is Bullshit I would even extend this route into New Jersey to the GW Plaza. Lastly for the  I would completely change to the point that you'd think it some new route with the Bx27 extension the Bx35 can't go to the heights that's were the bus gets exetended to Westfarms /then reroute it to visit the Long Island city from Westfarms Rd and Home St joining the Bruckner Expwy.  : Soundview Ferry - GW Plaza (Ends at GW heights on weekends)  : Westfarms Sq / - Long Island City, Queens. This is to be continued 

These proposals are for the IRT only because I don't use the Subway that much most of the proposals listed are going to be stuff  I've heard from other people.    rush hour express service  extended to kings plaza down Flatbush Av Extended to Burnside Av via Jerome after 161st-Yankee stadium (Continues going to New Lots) Extended to Kings Plaza down Utica Av  Rerouted to New Lots Av Extended to Secaucus Junction, NJ with a stop at the Lincoln Harbor (purple) replaces  to go to New Jersey  Extended to 2nd Av with a stop at Bryant Park.  Don't forget to give feedback as someone who doesn't know the Subway well I can learn more this way on how the Subway should work. 

Flatbush depot.

I applied and was called immediately to interview for a role within MTA procurment that my nyc gov expierence fit almost perfectly for. It was a union role that was non titled.  I did 2 interviews and I believe they went well. Before the 2nd interview HR told me I was a finalist and they would be contacting my references.....that was 6 weeks ago and it's been radio silence since. I followed up with the HR person who I've originally been communicating with to ask if they've made a final decision regarding the role and I never heard a response back. The role I interviewed for has a 2 month background check. I also followed up with my references to ask if anyone had reached out to them and they said no. I feel like Ive been ghosted. It's really weird because the role was reposted on the MTA job board but my application still says in progress. I know for budget and hiring positions aren't taken down til bodies are warming chairs but this has just need a very odd process. Does anyone have insight into the hiring process?               

From the Queens Gazette: I want to hazard a guess that they meant a different line instead of the X6.

Do you mean Version 2 screens on regular: local/SBS buses and Express? If so, then the regulars have the Next Stop and ad to it like a rectangle but the Express is square shaped but the Next Stop shows first then the ad blinks a few minutes later. Also, some version 3 screens are on Next Gens with square shapes that won't last long.  For number screen differences, pictures are shown in link, colors on the screen border, text are the differences and voices:  https://twitter.com/Grantcity900K/status/1033826718329528322/photo/1 -> Version 2, Vianova https://foursquare.com/v/mta-mabstoa-bus-bx23--bx26--bx28--bx29--bx38--q50--bxm7-at-bartow-avenue--coop-city-blvd-section-3--4/4df17a51d22d8c5470d56fad?openPhotoId=5d8d38cd3251e10007306091 -> Version 3, Clever Devices https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/33/MTA_Bus_653_Interior_Displays_02_-_Parsons_%26_84th_Dr.jpg -> Version 4, Luminator

Update there are a total of 4 OMNY machines at Main Street Flushing on my way home from work I saw 4 OMNY machines but I think contractors are working on the them.  That's pretty quick how they set that up.

It was still there…I guess it’s called an aptitude test

2407, 2428, 2474 at Ulmer Park has V2 screens.

The C can wait until option 1 to go full length.  The A and C need to be 100% NTTs before 8th Avenue CBTC is live? What's ENY going to do with the 8 car r179's displaced from 207?? Keep them idle?? Willie B can only handle a certain number of trains per hour.
