  1. Talk about truth... Going from a R160B alstom to an R62 was just a depressing experience. Those trains buck like shit, have horrible suspension, barely audible announcements (even though I knew where I was going) and there's barely any room. I know I'm comparing two trains from different divisions & I'm not trying to replicate the R188 thread, but I think it's time these trains either retire or get overhauled.
  2. Every 5-7 years for a T/o exam? Errrrr just made me cringe. How come there seems to be multiple yearly B/o exams but t/o and c/r exams are so few and far between? At least that'll give me some time to get my requirements right for that t/o exam, sucks that they're so rare compared to the bus title I'd rather do a platform or road job. Sitting for 8 hrs with nothing to do? If that's what all new rookies must do then my probie year is gonna be mentally draining...
  3. An under rated fast spot is the N/b run from Crown Heights Utica to Franklin on the during an off peak hour. I was on a R142a and the train literally starting bouncing up and down talk about scary. @Xcel another thing I dislike about buses are they're usually packed and uncomfortably bumpy.
  4. I wonder when 7211 will re-enter service...
  5. Welcome to the fanclub brother *hugs xcelsior* Bus fans try to deny the irrefutable factual evidence that trains are superior but not today. Today we shall celebrate this victory!
  6. Ya see what ya did? Now Snowblock hates us :/ Your subway fanclub card is now revoked, stick to your buses! His fanclub card is terminated. Feel free to post from now on so we can foam happily.
  7. I swear 180th and Livingston will have a river filled with tears of joybwhen my day comes lol. Congrats dude!
  8. How dare you use common sense and state something that has been said over 1000 times! You should feel ashamed of yourself!
  9. I wish I could travel back to the 70's just to ride the subway, the SMEE equipment used back then was so epic.
  10. I wish Mabstoa drivers received the same transit pass as TA drivers. I'd live to work for toa but paying to get to work would piss me off. Ah well driving a bus seems boring anyways...
  11. They're gonna turn the lights off in Times Square for "Earth Hour".I can't wait for this damn C/r exam to expire already.
  12. Do you think any other work will be done to them besides CBTC work, such as replacing the lights, upgrading the lights, or replacing the trucks?
  13. Us subway riders don't have these problems *hides in cave from incoming bus lovers*
  14. That first shot tho <3 awesome just awesome
  15. I accept yer apology noon, it's ok & I forgive you!
  16. hush child. Guess who I saw on my way to the city yesterday.
  17. I don't know where the stigma of Station agents being cruel jackasses came from. Idk if it's my extremely sexy face or my beastly voice but every SA i've encountered treated me nice. Transit workers in general are just nice people. The entire B division has nothing on the A division foh with that ucking garbage.
  18. My question to you and VIP is why would the purposefully go out of their way to give the 179's to Fresh Pond just to keep the from receiving brand new trains? Wouldn't they be delivered to 207th and then go to Pitkin for their third rail shoes? What would be the logic in giving 160a-1's to the ?
  19. Better luck next time rookie . the for the detailed response tho.Thx*
