The UFT is the teachers Union and teachers are part of the city as well, but that’s another story for the topic. To the R211 topic, there will be enough for the & to cover the fleet when all this is said & done.

Frivolous or fabricated lawsuits. People want money the easy way

They haven’t got to excercise Option II yet. Let Option 1 play out first before Option 2 is officially placed in order.

The above post part 2: SEPTA NF XHE40 701 is part of a 30 bus order which includes 10 Battery operated bus in 40’ and 2 different articulated buses, 5 buses each of battery & hydrogen. The Hydrogen buses are also replacing the 82xx series in Midvale and transferring 5 73xx to Comly. The electric 10 buses could be heading to either Frankford or Comly for 81xx/83xx/84xx replacements and 5 articulated to Allegheny.

But it also depends on the need of this bus. If the accident was minor, then yes, bus can be repairable and return to service when deemed operational. That’s up to the depot’s maintenance crews and the dispatcher. If the bus is not, then this bus will be used for parts once a second used bus arrives at the depot within the time of call. But since this bus is 16 years old, then it’s time to go.

SEPTA NFXHE40 701 has landed. These buses, numbered 701-710 will be assigned to Midvale Depot

There were problems from the very start. wiring, emergency exit windows, and failed watertightness and brake-test failures were the biggest issues that have plagued these cars since the first 2 cars were built. So for all the excitement about the bi-level cars, it’s gone out the window

The reason it’s not done by rail because of previous accidents on the tracks. So They use 3 to 5 oversize fit trucks to deliver them to Brooklyn. They are lead by either a pickup truck or a car with yellow sirens on them to let other vehicles know to pass them. These excess weight trucks have a restriction on speed.

I wouldn’t even list them as this. I’ll go as what’s in service, what’s in BIT, and what got here. All others it’s just wait & see

It’s there only for CBTC testing only.

6 cars on the (7), especially during baseball games? That’s pathetic! They should’ve treated baseball fans of yesteryear than what they do today. I only counted off peak hours, not peak because most of the lines were full length, with the exception of the & the . The very short AA becomes the long CC during peak hours, so they do share the same car lengths

4-6 weeks. Remember: cars must be redeemed “Safe to operate” by said yard before it can be placed in revenue service. So far, 13 R211As and 2 R211T sets (130/20) are in service.

You have to factor that: 1. It has to go to CI for installation of gates and programing 2. then it goes from CI to Pitkin fir training and non revenue burn in 3. once it is deemed ready, the cars will enter service.

Unless you have been to the Kawasaki plant, do you have any sources confirming that these cars up to 4309 have been built?

So many breakdowns, especially on the R17/21/22 cars. Many of these cars has massive flats. I lived to see a train being taking out of service because of flats. R21 7156 on the was a problem and a half! It was good for 3 stops: (174th to Simpson), but after it, the train pulled hard, causing the trune wheels to break, then it ran from Simpson all the way to 149th St-GC before the motorman discharged everybody off. That whole time, I heard the dispatcher saying discharge at 149th St, and take the train to the Concourse Yard, so the train went oos carrying that car plus 7561+8924-8925+7140+7553+9014-9015+9032-9033. The train reversed and stayed on the middle track on the to BPB.

The shortening of lengths go way back to the mid to late 1970s and it follows during off peak hours on evenings, nights and weekends: , & : 5 cars : 8 cars : 6 cars : 8 cars : 4 R44 cars and 6 R38 cars : 4 cars at all times except peak and nights , , , {6th Ave Local from 57th St}: 8 cars , : 4 cars R46 , , : 4 cars All other subway lines did not operate. the & all lines are normal

Passenger volume is less during overnights

Don’t forget the R211Ts on the C

Actually, none of MWP is accessible

The only way that the MTA is gonna change for the better isn’t done by the MTA themselves. History traces way back to where merges are a thing now. You saw how private bus companies were being taken over when they’re bankrupt, they sell their assets to the city themselves. The BOT took over every bus company from 1940-1950, then were succeeded by the in 1953 until 1968 when the took over. Only one bus company is off the MTA: Long Island Bus, now Nassau Inter County Express. In 2011, the MTA forced LIB to pay its fare share or have a draconian cuts to its routes. Nagano said “Hell No” and the agreement ended. On 1/1/2012, LIB became NICE. so there could be a new company if someone can get things: 1. start up 2. signatures

You just stole my words what I was about to say. If you and the rest of your NIMBY friends and neighbors said no to the Airtrain to LGA, then Mets-Willits Point (Willits Point Blvd originally, and a local station to top it off) would’ve been accessible maybe either now or next year. Be careful of what you wish for! What you didn’t wanted back then is now what you regret now.

You need equal trains to make service, not one less. There are WAAAAAAAAAY 2 many errors to make it real. This is an April Fools lame joke. Cause, right now, you need to go to Ohio and tell them you made a BIIIIIGGGGGG mistake

They already got their XD40 orders in. So there’s no use of bringing back the NXG Orion 7s
