LOL. XD

Time to get this thread active again. Revival of The Line Service Goes as the usual local with the South Ferry to 96th Street. After 96th Street, it runs on middle track, until 137th Street-City College. It then runs on the middle track again, but when the local track converges onto the middle at 145th Street, it will continue straight onwards, and bypass 157th Street. It stops at 168th Street, 181st Street (bypassing), and Dyckman Street. It will then turn onto the middle track until 215th Street, turn back onto the middle again, and head straight for 242nd Street to terminate. All times and weekends, except late nights. Trains go at one at a time for the middle track to reduce traffic. Subway Cars It will continue to use the R62As, some selected R62's, and R142's. What do you think?

Let me give a go on this... Route Number/Name Bx33A Purpose Access between Port Morris and Astoria Route Owner West Farms Depot General Route It starts of with the main route, the , until St. Anns Avenue, where it makes a left until East 134th Street, where it goes straight onto the ramp for the RFK-Triborough Bridge. It will continue through the bridge until exit 45. After doing that, the route will make a right onto 31st Street where it will continue until Ditmars Boulevard to make a left and terminate. The return route will make a left on 29th Street, and make another left onto 23rd Avenue, and then make a right back onto 31st Street. It will go straight down that street, until it reaches I-278 where it will make a right, and head straight onto the ramp that leads to the RFK-Triborough. It will go straight on the bridge (as previously mentioned), but will go straight for exit 48 which leads onto Bruckner Boulevard. It would continue straight on that street until East 138th Street where it remeets the , following the main route, and terminate to where it ends (East 132nd Street and Walnut Avenue). Stops For Queens It follows all the stops the Bx33 makes before St. Anns Avenue. Once turning onto that street, stops are: East 138th Street and St. Anns Avenue East 135th Street and St. Anns Avenue (transfer to ) After making a left onto East 134th Street East 134th Street and St. Anns Avenue Heads straight onto RFK-Triborough Bridge until exit 45, and after making left on 31st Street Astoria Boulevard and 31st Street (Free transfer to the and .) Straight on 31st Street 31st Street and 21 Road Left onto Ditmars Boulevard Ditmars Boulevard and 31st Street (Free transfer to the and .) ***TERMINATES*** For the Bronx Left onto 29th Street 29th Street and Ditmars Boulevard 29th Street and 23rd Avenue Left onto 23rd Avenue 31st Street and 29th Avenue Left and straight onto 31st Street 23rd Road and 31st Street (stops in front of school) Right onto Hoyt Avenue North before going straight onto the RFK Hoyt Avenue North-Hoyt Playground and 31 Street (stops in front of playground, free transfer for the and for final time.) Straight on the RFK-Triborough until exit 48, and after making a right onto Bruckner Boulevard Bruckner Boulevard and East 136th Street Bruckner Boulevard and East 138th Street Goes right onto East 138th Street, follows the :bus_bullet_bx33:'s stops and route from there, and terminates at East 132nd Street and Walnut Avenue. Hours Weekdays for 5 to 10 minutes. Weekends 10 to 15 minutes. It does not run on during late nights. What do you think about this?

My first proposal. Name Ridgewood Bus Terminal & Transit Center Location Between Gates Avenue and Palmetto Street (Buses enter at Gates Avenue.) Bus Routes Involved That Will Be Using The Terminal (Stops there rush hours only. When leaving, it will turn left on Palmetto Street, and continue until Seneca Avenue, where it will turn, and then, go back right into Gates Avenue continuing its normal route. It will not terminate there as its existence of being a rush hour stop.) Q55 Q58 Subway/Commuter Rail Connections (Free MetroCard transfer.) Design This terminal would use this design, similar to those being used in Hong Kong (shown here). There will be bus only dedicated lanes around the terminal to control traffic and parking. How It Would Benefit The Community In general, more housing would be affordable, and getting around the area should be easier. What do you think?

Hmm... You are right. I may do a revised version later.

My first proposal in this thread. Name Flushing Bus Terminal and Transit Center Location Between 37th Avenue and 39th Avenue (Entrance for buses are at 138th Street) Bus Routes Involved That Will Be Using the Terminal Q13 Q15/A Q16 Q17 Q19 Q27 Q28 Q50 Q66 Both N20 and N21 QM3 (rush hour stop, and does not terminate) Subway/Commuter Rail Connections LIRR (This connection would be made possible with an underground walkway, with stairs at each of the bus stands. There will also be portals to the bus terminal and LIRR station at other locations, such as at Macy's and Roosevelt Avenue) Design The terminal would look like this.Benefits for the Community This would attract more tourists to Flushing than usual. It would also pour in thousands of dollars as well in terms of money and economics. Housing would be more affordable. More businesses would pop up. If it is a success, then Flushing would become the next tourist attraction in New York City. What do you think about this plan?

Actually, I saw one at Chambers Street just today.

Time for a simple and basic scenario that doesn't involve suspension system-wide. Due to an supermarket fire at Simpson Street (plus debris from the fire ending up on the uptown station platform and tracks), and train are running with delays. Reroute or suspension away (you get a vote up for adding the effect on bus service too as of extra credit just to make it a bit fun).

Okay. Quill, I really like it how you described the idea. In addition to that, I have another proposal for the in Queens which should be a good idea. This one is another proposal for the defunct line, but for its service in Queens. During rush hours, the acts as an express between Astoria-Ditmars and Queensboro Plaza. The and will remain local. The express service runs like just the and ; AM to Manhattan, PM from Manhattan. This is so that way the middle track on the BMT Astoria can see some revenue use.

Another proposal of mine. This one a line revival. Line ( R ) BMT 4th Avenue-Nassau Street Line Subway Cars It Would Be Using R32 R42 R143 Times Available Rush hours only. Both direction General Service The line starts at Bay Ridge-95th Street with the main . Once it meets the at 59th Street (and the at 36th Street), it will run local all throughout most of 4th Avenue. It would then cross over the Manhattan Bridge shown here on your right (2 trains each in both directions due to weight limits), and turn into the lost Nassau Street connector to the bridge (thus reactivating those tracks), before eventually going into the middle platforms at Chambers Street to terminate. What do you think?

Guys, he has a point here. Let's keep it sensible. Actually to top that off... There is a switch problem at DeKalb Avenue. It is affecting the , , and . Rerouting, line suspension, and use of shuttle buses involved.

Another proposal of mine (based of my own line!) Line Name <1> Hamilton Express Purpose Super express Service Rush hours only (AM to South Ferry, PM from South Ferry. It's going to use the middle tracks at the following: 96th Street to 168th Street; Dyckman Street to Van Cortlandt Park-242nd Street) It will also run on the 7th Avenue express track from 96th Street to Chambers Street. 7 trains every 5 minutes during each rush hour everyday. Stations Van Cortlandt Park-242nd Street 181st Street 168th Street-Washington Heights 96th Street 72nd Street Times Square 42nd Street 34th Street-Penn Station 14th Street Chambers Street South Ferry-Whitehall Street Subway Cars It Will Be Using R62A Selected R142s or R142As'

Thanks. For that, I give you a vote up.

I'm back! - Extension to Bellrose Terrace. Same two-level tunneling. acts a local. and as an express. Following stations part of the extension: (Green is local, Red is express.) *turns onto Jamaica Avenue for the whole extension* 168th Street 181st Street 196th Street Francis Lewis Boulevard Hempstead Avenue Springfield Boulevard-Amboy Lane (Transfer to LIRR) 241st Street-Cross Island Parkway (Terminal)

Here goes mine... Services On Suspension Until Further Notice Services Unaffected Changes On Affected Services -Rockaway Park rush hour is suspended. Also an all-time local in all the boroughs it serves in. -Runs via the Brighton Line as an express. This includes stopping at DeKalb Avenue. -Local at all stops on Queens Boulevard. -Service cutback to Smith-9th Streets. -Via West End to Coney Island at all times. Also, skip-stop is on suspension. -Between Essex Street and Metropolitan Avenue at all times. -All time local in all boroughs this line serves. This line will also stop at DeKalb Avenue. -Between Atlantic Avenue-Barclays Center and Coney Island. -Between Court Street -All time local all boroughs. -Cutback to 96th Street, 135th Street, or no service at all during late nights -Local on Lexington Avenue. Eastern Parkway express unaffected. -Service to both Nereid Avenue and Flatbush Avenue on suspension, therefore, it runs to Bowling Green on weekdays. Weekends, as a shuttle to East 180th Street. -Late nights between 125th Street and Pelham Bay Park -Late nights to Queensboro Plaza.

A What If situation if an actual "Pelham 123" hijacking did took place. After Hijacking (Generally When The Train Involved has Been Disconnected from the Other Cars, and has Left 28th Street staion) - Still runs as an normal Lexington Avenue express, but bypasses Grand Central-42nd Street and 14th Street-Union Square (this also includes running via 7th Avenue) as of precaution. -Some trainns via 7th Avenue as an express. -Service in the Bronx only (3rd Avenue-138th Street-Pelham Bay Park). is suspended. When Hijacked Train Becomes A Runway Train (Overunning the Car's Dead-Man Switch) To South Ferry -All Service in the Bronx only (Woodlawn-149th Street-Grand Concourse) -All service via 7th Avenue in Manhattan as an express. -Limited service in the Bronx to ease switch controls at 3rd Avenue-138th Street station. After Runaway Has Stopped at South Ferry is not in service for the rest of the day. continues to run in the Bronx only. via 7th Avenue until further notice. Do you like my service change throughout the hijacking? Or do you think there's a different way to handle the situation?

My own sensible scenario. In the PM rush hour runs, there is a blackout in all of the Bronx and Northern Manhattan (Inwood and Washington Heights in general) due to a power connection difficulty at Indian Point. Chaos? ​Indefinably!

Wonder what's going on there...
