      I've heard people use it before.Heck my own distant cousin called it that...

       

      This is the first time I've seen a railfan use the term in reference to the R train...

      Yeah, it's due to the number of Mediterranean eateries in the southern section of the neighborhood...

       

      (I) Never put any stock in the dubbing of Bay Ridge as the capital of Lebanon....

      Because non-fans should know what an R160 is? When my grandmother saw the first R160 on the (Q) she said, oh look the Q has the N trains. You're logic just gave me cancer, SMH.

      But the idea of the trains "changing to look like N trains" sounds like some hocus pocus bullshit. Even if you are not familiar with the types of cars, there are still intelligent ways to phrase it, such as "trains like those on the N line are being used on the R".

      @peacemaker: LMAO.

      Just think of something you don't know anything about. For my example, it would be cars. If someone were to tell me two types of cars, I would most likely go "huh?"

  5. I want to know how Bill Clinton can accuse Black Lives Matter of supporting drug dealers (which is a big fat lie) and no one other than BLM is calling him out on it. This is Republican Party levels of false smear...

      A writer for Slate was very vocal against Bill for this, and I hope Sanders comes down on him in the Democratic debate.

  7. After riding the S78 with a friend today I really see why that route needs artics...

      The thing about the S78 is that it doesn't really need artics at all. Crowding isn't that bad to the point where that is necessary considering that Hylan Blvd has what, the S53 to some extent, the S78 and the S79 Select.

       

      On the weekends, the S78 is EMPTY! I always thought it would be crazy packed but its actually empty during the weekends.

      @ Cait: Well there's the option of discontinuing all Short turn S78 from Eltingville.

      Every S78 heading to Eltingville and Bricktown is often empty on the weekends, 50% seated at most on occasion.

  8. The single most hated person in New York, is the train's dispatcher.

      That's true too. I was manly referring to the fact that whenever the train stops, the conductor always says "We are being held by the train's dispatcher"

      The scheme looks a little better on those than the novas. Otherwise, it's a rather boring looking bus. That SEPTA scheme is 100% boring.

      Sounds like a perfect place to catch them. Make sure plenty of cops follow you so the conquestors get completely busted.
