  1. 465. 510. 515. 560. 565. If someone could tell me everything they know about these SMART routes in Detroit, Michigan I would appreciate it. Especially the 510 and 515.

  2. How do riders like the added trainsets on the weekends?
  3. In what ways was BK service cut? Was there overnight service to ATL? Did they cut weekend service, weekday rush hour service, and off-peak weekday service, or were any of these not cut? I was not keeping up with the LIRR much that long ago..
  4. A city is only as good as its transit system. #United4NYCTF
  5. Might as well forget about the second school of thought (for now and the foreseeable future at least) since it has been well documented that Lefferts riders do not want to ride trains directly to/from there that run local in Brooklyn and absolutely will not stand for the loss of direct service from a train that runs express in Brooklyn.
  6. I wonder when they will start using M8s on the SLE? The only recent thing I could find was this: "The [Conn]DOT is also working to expand the New Haven Line’s M8 railcar usage to New London." From here: http://foxct.com/2015/05/20/rail-advocates-turn-attention-to-southeastern-connecticut/
  7. I am surprised no one has posted about the R142s on the train earlier. Apparently due to a switch problem at Chambers that fouled up 7th Avenue Line service. I guess they rerouted a couple of and trains to fill service gaps. I know there were huge gaps, like almost 20 minutes or so along the . I only saw one train of R142s, which included 7056-7060, at 225 St-Broadway, and one train of (I believe) Livonia or Lenox R62s at 231 St-Broadway. Those R62s immediately followed the R142s and both trains were going to 242 St-Broadway-VCP. That happened in the early afternoon.
  8. The LIRR Babylon schedules do not list St. Albans, even though many Babylon branch trains serve that station all day seven days a week. What in tarnation!?

      St. Albans should designated as City Zone station as opposed to a W Hemp Station.. Seriously..

      It is probably a remnant of history since the station was always considered part of the WH branch.

      Has been considered as such for the 100+ years of its existence.

  9. Sup B35. I have not given this subject as much thought as you have. Five routes being the same and running so close together like that is weird. So it goes..good ideas regarding many of the X-towns being one color. I only looked at the M103 and M9 because I wanted to get to the Municipal Building using a bus from Uptown and while studying the map I noticed the glaring oversight that made the M9 and M103 look like one thing by City Hall, complete with NO TERMINAL BOX for the M103. I used an X-M15 (M15 SBS but now I want to refer to SBS lines using X- followed by the borough and route #), getting off at Madison-Catherine. Then I took a long walk to the Municipal Bldg. I did not need Google transit directions to tell me how insanely slow and trafficated Lexington is and therefore how bad an idea it would have been to ride an M103 from Uptown to City Hall instead of an X-M15 since I had to get down there by a certain time. The travel time on the Lexington buses is really something though. That %^$* is no joke. Or I guess you could say the travel time is, for want of a better word, pathetic and thus actually is a joke. Welp, continuing where we left off...
  10. Manhattan bus map... The M9 should be colored orange rather than purple on the map and it should not be "merged" with the M103 which is also purple, nor should the M103's terminal box at City Hall be missing. If they were concerned with an orange M9 and currently orange M21 right next to each other on Houston (Avenue "A" to Avenue "C"), they could make the M21 light blue as it does not run into any other light blue line. But the red Bx5 and Bx22 have been right next to each other like that on the Bronx map for over 20 years IINM (Castle Hill Ave between Bruckner Blvd and LaFayette Ave).
  11. Momentarily ignoring the illogical and Kafkaesque things NYCTA has done, I think we should all take a moment to thank the TA for recent user-friendly improvements. These include the addition of normal (non-HEET) turnstiles at the southernmost entrance of the Flatbush Avenue-Nostrand Avenue station and the new (I believe less than a year old) signage indicating which trains leave from which tracks at said station. In this vein, if you can think of anything else, feel free to mention it..
