  1. I think channel 7 got it the closest. They were talking about how the R211s were replacing the R46 models that were predominantly "on the A and C lines, and the Staten Island Railway." Technically the SIR models are R44s, but at least the routes mentioned were all correct.
  2. People might be conflating that with the expanded hours for Grand Central North, which will be open daily whenever GCM is open.
  3. the MTA is going for the bus wifi cuts again:
  4. The is one thing because it runs 5 car trains and ridership had been steadily increasing pre-pandemic, but the and having 8 minute headways while lines like the and running every 12 minutes is really a poor call. It was probably easier to add and service because 1. they dont really interline with anything else and 2. the in particular was a cheap add because it's a shuttle on the weekends. But overall, the running times are indeed shorter than an or
  5. Metro-North/LIRR combo tickets incoming: https://new.mta.info/fares/combo-ticket The only problem I have is there's no joint City Ticket...
  6. This isn't a huge deal considering this is going to describe a drop-off stop, but the BxM3/BxM4 on Bustime (which means on the newfangled screens on the Prevosts also) show the dropoff stop at 5th and 87th, but the drop off sign is at 5th/84th and that's where the drivers all stop at because the stop's been at 5th/84th for years... I usually take the buses to Midtown so this doesn't affect me, but for the sake of conversation what's the *official* stop in that area?
  7. That moment when Westchester County Airport is poised to be the only east coast airport with transcontinental flights but without a proper mass transit option.
  8. The 62 has a similar approach to it. I don't think the MTA's gonna agree to giving essentially free transfers between Bee-Line buses and Metro-North. I mean, they don't even do it with NYCT routes... and people have been advocating for that for years!
  9. I've noticed that too on the Bx3. Maybe there's a grace period or something.... Might as well keep stopping while the lollipop signs are still up.
  10. Speaking of the 319, I plan on using it July 4th to Atlantic City, returning the next day. What will I be in for with the 319? Should I get there by a particular time? And do they run extra buses if there's high demand?
  11. Half the time they'll fill one of the runs, but having a 3 hour gap between buses is completely unacceptable
  12. Yet I've noticed that Gun Hill's been making a bit more of an effort to clean their buses. Not as sparkling as a Quill, but better than they were pre-pandemic. Holy cow, what a timeline we're in.
  13. I've heard that line every time a new administration comes in and every time they keep more or less the status quo...
