Are the countdown clocks being installed in Brooklyn the true "countdown clocks" (A Division), the bluetooth ones or just tell the time? Not sure, and they're popping up everywhere.

What's the deal with 4th Ave express lately? I take the to Atlantic during AM rush and around 9th Ave the trains either get extremely slow or just stop completely for 5-7 mins. I've been considering just taking the from 36th because it's faster.

This poster went up today at DeKalb: Looks like the MTAs taking its posters in a new direction, like it.

I have a crazy idea. What if the WTC Path lines were extended to the East Side and up on 2nd Avenue? This way the Port Authority could co-fund the project. PATH train cars are only about 0.1 meters less wide than a typical R160. That is about a 1/3 of a foot wider than a PA-5. The systems would finally unify and use the MTA's new card for the systems. I think this is one of the best ways to tackle the bus-commuter problem. A bus terminal could be built at the Harrison PATH station (there is a huge vacant lot next to the tracks), and commuters would be able to connect to all the trains they need downtown. The East Side would also receive direct access to many areas of New Jersey. obligatory again this is totally not feasible blah blah blah but the SAS project could recieve a ton more money if this were the case. edit: also the would be completely replaced by the PATH. Only the would travel with PATH trains to 125th St.

This proposal has already been made.

They can't test at Sea Beach. trains using the express tracks cause of construction.

That's crazy. It's the end of another era for the line fleet.
