many 8ave IND local stations are bi-level and look like this ----platform----[northbound local][northbound express] ----platform----[southbound local][southbound express] (i might switch the direction but you get the idea)

i hope they change their minds. Light rail option kills the possibilities of extending service elsewhere via LIRR/MNR

well...no one thinks of PSD?

any news on airtrain stations getting OMNY? I visited NY last month. For many people who don't visit the city in months like me, we definitely don't have metrocards in our wallets. OMNY would be very handy but airtrain stations among the last to get OMNY lol 🙈

The R46 won't last very long. Even R68 won't work coz they aren't going to last too (unless they decided to overhaul them when they turned 25 yr-old, but missed it) sending R143/R160 to SIR might work tho

a side note: trains with external doors are in theory safer to operate with PSD (less space to have stuffs trapped between the train and platform doors)

doors on the s-stocks are sliding on the outsie of the car

IMO the first phase could be creating a branch to brooklyn college Next step? Let see if goes bankrupt after finished the first phase 😴

make sense because you hv more ac units (2 vs 10) to handle the smell lol

imagine next time a show about the Bronx: "yo this is the bronx bound train. Welcome to the bronx m**th**f**ker" 😂

any news on JFK AirTrain getting OMNY? I think there is one of the places need OMNY the most, since not everyone traveling from outside of NYC has metrocard 😴

It would be a maintenance nightmare to have R188s with two very different propulsions (decades apart....) Not the case for R262 vs R188/R142

Who knows. They might use a different model of inverter on the 262s.

Bad odors from the bodies are manageable in open gangway cars, but NOT with cars full of trash.... 😂 I guess the homeless people in the clip were practicing how to make the entire train smell bad when open gangway train began service (jk) Seriously, I really don't wanna that becomes a reason (or excuse?) we can't have nice stuffs. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

Simple. You could just wrap the interiors like what they did for R62 in times sq . But does it mean "compatible with the modern world" to you? 😒
