    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.

    What was his list number though?

    I saw the what looked to be the first R211 cars for the Staten Island Railway at the Kawasaki Yonkers while riding Metro North’s Hudson Line with PA Paul 😁

    Last time I took the test for custodian, the recruiter was suppose to schedule an interview with me as it was part of our process, but she never did even though I sent her many emails about it and she kept forgetting. She started doing her job once I put in a BSC complaint. These people who don’t work in transit don’t really have a good history of not discriminating their applicants.

    If you keep threatening me like that but don’t enforce the site policies on other members too, I’m reporting you to the site admins.

    Wow that’s not bad at all!

    Interesting... when I took the AC exam back in October last year it was 4 sections. Did they add back the personality portion or was it something else?

    I agree with everything said thus far, but I will say if you had your heart set on working for Metro North, don't just apply for conductor just "get your foot into the door" by any means and make your way there as an internal. It's cliche, but your odds of becoming a conductor are increased by breaking in as a coach cleaner, custodian, clerk, ticket seller, ambassador, electrician etc. Heck, don't limit yourself to just MNR for that matter, apply, apply, apply to as much as you can on that MTA Careers page.

    At this rate, I wouldn't be suprised. Also, 21228 to Wayne. On the 197.

    In case people misunderstand what I’m getting at just go back to the website and read what I’m talking about. People on the tracks, pulled cords, disorderly behavior and the like. What I mean is that no matter what equipment is present , R9-R211, the delays will still happen. My opinion. Carry on.

    Yep I'm also thinking why the MTA hasn't put the Ss in service yet is because they need at least a year of testing in order to put them in service. We might see them take action this month

    4235-4236 delivered

    On that topic i could see extending the 123 to hamilton park because as @Lawrence St says we need to cut down on the many variants of the 126 maybe we can extend the 123 there would there be any loss with no nyc bus traveling through the newport complex?
  22. TyBusLover1
    So first 42xx R211A consist in service correct?
  23. Metro CSW
    With that coming in, we also have a new consist in service: 4210-19!

    They don't need to be idle during the weekends. The NQ trains can use them during the weekends. The MTA still has the option to run the B during the weekends. The B used to run during the weekends in the past (to 57th st though). More local service is needed in CPW during the weekends and the C by itself doesn't do justice and A and D trains need to remain express. Just look at 72nd, 81st and 86th St during the weekends. It's literally a zoo. It is not 100% guaranteed the BD will get r211's. It's still possible that Jamaica may get some of the option order of r211's and send some of it's r160's to the BD.

    As per the guidelines, if you can please stay on-topic, it would be appreciated. If NOT, disciplinary action will be coming. Thank you @2ride!!

    https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/04/24/mta-plan-to-run-brooklyn-queens-train-line-on-city-streets-a-grave-mistake-advocates This is actually the first time I'm hearing about any opposition to this part of the plan! Good! I've always thought this would ruin the whole line!

    But honestly, I think they just skip your name the first time if you’re a no show and then automatically reschedule again for another date. they’re not really concerned if it’s a date that works for you or not because that’s the nature of the job, if you have to show up and be ready for work if you’re called no matter what circumstances you have at the time. They just give you a 2nd chance and automatically reschedule, if you didn’t show up the first time. After the 2nd or 3rd time of rescheduling and you don’t show up, they knock you off the list and you'll have to re apply.

    Every day, I see these signs and am amazed how years ago, we feared LED's could never mimic an actual rollsign. I then hoped smaller LED's would be needed. But they're using fullsized 4mm LED's with a wide pitch (RGB's can't be placed too close together due to heat), and it look far clearer that any rollsign ever could!
