  1. To be honest, if you're taking the or the LIRR to get to LGA from Manhattan, chances are you're not gonna want to ride to pretty much the end of the line to get the Airtrain when you can just take the Q70, which can take you to the airport in 10- 15 minutes. I feel like people would only take the Airtrain if they're coming from from like Bayside or Whitestone.
  2. All the Rockaway Park trips start/end at 168.
  3. By the time these cars come into service, the should using six cars trains.
  4. Something funny happened to me on the this morning. My train pulled into Jay Street (it was a R179) and we're sitting there for about 5 minutes. The C/R kept trying to close the doors and they kept reopening. Eventually, the train is OOS. Right when I was about to get on the to Manhattan, they say the train is back in service. I just found it lowkey funny.
  5. I would send the B67 there during the day, if there was capacity for it.
  6. 7685 probably came in last after the rest of the order did, so it's probably gonna last until the Spring (that's when all the remaining Orion VIIs are supposed to be retired by)
  7. Those came from Fresh Pond. I saw 6500 on the B42 Monday night.
  8. A 8 car set did burn in testing on the a couple of weeks ago.
  9. It does. I've seen them use it since last week.
  10. If I'm correct, the will be local between Broadway Junction and Marcy Avenue, like how it was with the M shutdown.
  11. They're converting Glenwood Road into a two way street between E 103 and Rockaway Parkway. The westbound lane will be for buses only, so the B6 and B82 will be using that instead of Flatlands.
  12. 9946-9943/9959-9962 is back on the (J). My friend saw it in service about a hour ago.
  13. So, for some weird ass reason, ENY yard took apart their Cuomo set and put one 4 car set to a regular 4 car set of R160s. There's two R160s on the that are "half Cuomo".
  14. I know a couple of LGAs XD40s that have screens. 7481 is one of them
  15. Apparently, the reason they're using the green stickers is because the train are being maintained at East 180th/Unionport. I'm not sure how true this is tho.
  16. Even with the new XN60s coming in, there isn't enough artics to make the Bx36 an articulated line, especially since the Bx6 local is supposed to become fully artic as well. After the B82 goes SBS, they're putting a hold on the SBS program until after the bus redesign
  17. Those were probably the 62As. They only have one compressor for the HVAC compared to the two on the R62s.
  18. It might be because they use that track to test CBTC equipment.
