I love NY

And what about this line and these notes "Eastbound trains may depart stations between Woodside and Plandome up to three minutes earlier than times shown" and " Westbound trains may depart Woodside station up to three minutes earlier than times shown"? https://new.mta.info/document/105296

What does it mean these notes "ATTENTION CUSTOMERS: At stations west of Jamaica, westbound trains may depart stations up to three minutes earlier than times shown" and "On all branches, eastbound trains may depart stations east of Jamaica up to three minutes earlier than times shown"? Why? https://new.mta.info/document/105271 https://new.mta.info/document/105306

Is there the possibility that both projects (https://new.mta.info/project/interborough express and https://www.brooklynqueensconnector.nyc/route) can become reality or one excludes the other?

The absurd average frequency of buses and subway!

And luckily you haven't been to Naples...

Dear Marco, from next month, between 5:29pm and 6:38pm, there will be 7 trains... https://new.mta.info/document/85026

And this is another strange situation... Daylight Saving Added Service, Sunday, November 6, 2022. Babylon Branch: https://new.mta.info/document/98786 Ronkonkoma Branch: https://new.mta.info/document/98791 Why only these 2 extra eastbound trips? Why not also these 3 extra westbound trips (2:10am from Port Washington - 2:13am from Ronkonkoma - 2:19am from Huntington)?

I don't like the OPTO, but I know that some NYC subway lines have it. On wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One-person_operation) there is written that the the OPTO lines are: Franklin Avenue Shuttle (R68) : 2 cars 42nd Street Shuttle (R62A) : 6 cars Rockaway Park Shuttle (R46) : 4 cars 5 train (Dyre Avenue and East 180th Street) during late nights (R142) : 5 cars A train on the Ozone Park–Lefferts Boulevard branch during late nights (R46) : 4 cars G weekends (R160) : 5 cars M weekends (R160) : 4 cars But what about the 3 train (148th Street and Times Square–42nd Street), M train (Middle Village–Metropolitan Avenue and Myrtle Avenue) and R train (Bay Ridge–95th Street and Whitehall Street–South Ferry) during late nights? Are they OPTO or these late night shuttles have the conductor?

I noticed that the few entrances with red lamps have almost all this indication: enter with or buy the MetroCard ALL TIMES, while the agent on duty is part-time (to see for example the photo in this site: https://techsponyc.com/new-york-transport/) But what is the difference with this green lamp entrance? There is written the same thing.... Why that Times Square entrance has the red lamps and this Penn Station entrance has the green lamps?

On the wiki page of East Side Access there is written that the trains are expected to run 24 hours a day and that the plans call for 24 trains per hour to run to Grand Central during peak morning hours, with an estimated 162,000 passenger trips to and from Grand Central on an average weekday.

Thank you for this new dutiful thread!

Yes, since from COVID emergency the overnight frequency on the 2 late night lines of the PATH are 40 minutes and 2 stations are closed (9th Street and 23rd Street) 12-5am: https://www.nj.com/hudson/2020/05/2-path-stations-in-nyc-to-shut-down-overnight-for-remainder-of-covid-19-emergency.html

On page 155 of (http://web.mta.info/mta/investor/pdf/2020/2019_CAFR_Final.pdf) there is an interesting table of the MTA and there is written that the route length of the NYC subway is 248 miles. 1) But why until 2014 there were 246 subway route miles (NYC subway+Staten Island Railroad) and since 2015 (before 2017 expansions of the 7 and Q lines) they are 259? 2) Is it possible to know how many exact rail route mails has the NY subway? I know that they were 245 miles before expansions of the 7 line (1,5 miles) and the Q line (1,8 miles), therefore the total should be 248,3 miles (399,600 km). We know that the new 1,8 mile tunnel extends under Second Avenue from 63rd Street to 96th Street (https://www.wsp.com/en-SE/insights/new-york-opens-its-second-avenue-subway). But since 2017 it is in operation also a new small segment under the Central Park from 57St -7Th Av station to Lexington Av-63St station. What is the lenght of this tract without calculation the very small part that overlaps with the F line? If it is at least 0,3 miles, the new total should be 248,6 miles and therefore OVER 400 km. Thank you for the possible reply and excuse me for my incorrect English.

Over 500 ghost trains run every night between 1am and 5am only for cops and transit workers, but above all because there is not enough space in the system to store all trains simultaneously, and so that they can easily resume service at 5 am.

Ok, I just though that for many New Yorkers the 24/7 subway service was very important and that this situation was an injustice. But if there are these reactions and even insults, I'll stop writing about this.

After De Blasio, Cuomo and Foye, also Sarah Feinberg says that the 24/7 subway service will be restored. But when???? http://www.mta.info/press-release/nyc-transit/transcript-nyc-transit-interim-president-feinberg-appears-live-fox-5’-good http://www.mta.info/press-release/nyc-transit/transcript-nyc-transit-interim-president-feinberg-appears-live-wcbs

It should be the stupidies thing in the world: to punish over 100.000 riders that every weeknight (1-5AM) take the subway since 1904 for some poor homeless. Ridicolous and ABSOLUTELY wrong. To stop Trump, but to stop also this delusional Cuomo.....That enough. NY is a 24/7 city!!

But wouldn't it be better to restore the 24/7 subway service ALSO for the riders (the overnight service has never stopped, but not for the riders...)?

My curiosity: after almost 100 days of overnight shutdown, every night (1-5AM) are there still the cops in every entrance of the 472 NYC stations?
