I’m late to the discussion somewhat but I find it disgusting that smashing windows is the only things these kids can think of doing nowadays. Whatever happened to doing normal kid activities like chilling at the mall with friends, after school programs or just laying low at home and playing video games? 
 

The MTA wants to do a full investigation of this incident but my question is what is the end goal? The way that the city has been handling crime is honestly a joke to me. A lot of youth these days don’t have any guidance and instead of teaching these kids a lesson they get a slap on the wrist and then they go out and do more crazy stuff. This is why places like NYC, San Francisco, LA and etc are on a decline. I would be mad if I was one of those people who had somewhere to be but was late because some mentally unbalanced kids decided to vandalize stuff. That’s why we need that 90s style crime crackdown in our city today. A lot of people would think it’s harsh but if deviant behaviors don’t get corrected it’s going to be the Wild Wild West out here pretty soon . 

Nowadays, they use social media sites   track down on people. All they gotta do is

s

until they find what they’re looking . Once they get that, that’s where the “Aha! I got you” moment gets in. 

Vandalism on the R46 cars was said to be done by “Conquestors”. Conquestors are fake transit fans who mostly stand at the rear or the front of the platform depending on where the train is heading. These people are considered dangerous and unfriendly. They will attempt to do destruct and vandalize cars until they get their way. And so far, it’s not working in their favor. And they’re about to get sent a harsh message by authorities.

the only thing they'll do which they always do is order option II (they are going to have to anyway for the 2nd ave extension to 125th st)

 

Again this agency is dumb, the one thing to encourage people to take mass transit and they are shooting themselves in the foot by telling the riding public they aren't boosting any service. This is the main reason why more people went to cars between 1995-2000.

 

Also things could change if congestion pricing is in affect.

The main reason why that many people went to cars during that same time frame that I was working for Choice Courier Systems in Manhattan, was a promised increase back in 1994, then Gov. George Pataki later cut $86M from  and used it to paint bridges in Rochester. Meanwhile, September of 1995, the  cut 60 bus routes (reduced service and discontinued 3 routes). Then November of the same year, the fares were increased to $1.50 a trip.

The funny thing is they prob already know who these vandals are...

Knowing them they posted it online or in group chats...

All they need is to catch one of em..

Most of those come from ig. There are some fair weather foamers that also part of that group who smashed windows on the R46/R68 cars. If I catch them, I’m hauling them in. Idc if you’re related

Exactly, this is why the r211's need to go on lines that have high ridership and are getting CBTC.

The Base order first . Before other lines get them.

It’s not just ppl holding the doors, it’s the ppl confused about what train to get on as soon as train doors are closing. This one lady on W4th St nearly got squeezed by them on Saturday afternoon as I was on the .

Their old, unreliable and break down often, and most of the ones in service either have a dead motor, bad brakes, or both. a few weeks ago they took a r46 N out of service at ditmars because it had 3 dead motors in a row in the front of the train and every time it would brake the damn thing would lunge forward, im surprised they even made it to ditmars

If y’all 🛑 😭 about service, maybe these cars won’t break down often. Ya can’t take care of new buses neither.

Let's not forget that we have a federal government, especially in Congress, who have a hard time understanding that driving is NOT for everyone and they refuse to invest in more public transportation.

Is there a US city that has better public transportation than the MTA??

As for the r211's, the MTA better purchase option order 2 if they really want to avoid big headaches in the long term.

There is 👎 city in the 🇺🇸 that can outwit the  none! 

‘s MFL M-4s are wearing out and they’re 26 years old. They need new cars for them and extra trains on the Broad St Line. 

WMATA’s Metrorail had their issues with their 7000 series subway cars and the system’s accident prone. 

CTA & MBTA has issues with CRRC. 
 

maybe small town buses are ranked better, except they operate every 60 minutes. 
 

just be patient & wait, because 💰 doesn’t grow on 🌳. 

Add 4 more more new XDE40s 3593, 3594, 3595 & 3596 to Southern District. As for the D40s, these are the final 10 buses operating: 8001, 8008, 8018, 8024, 8042, 8044, 8051, 8053, 8062 & 8070. 
 

Callowhill has 8 D40s remaining: 8075-8076, 8079-8080, 8083, 8085, 8088 & 8091

Frontier has only 5 D40s remaining: 8101, 8104, 8109, 8112-8113.

Blame it on the knuckleheads who broke the windows on the r46's.

Don't be surprised if these idiots did these acts of vandalism to pressure the MTA to put NTTs on the NQW. Notice that AFAIK they only vandalized CI r46's.

I just hope that these vandals get caught and serve time in jail. 

Also, the MTA needs to exercise caution in regards to retiring the r46's. IMO the r46's should temporarily be stored as emergency fleet before being scrapped.

Fair weather foamers is what I call them. If They think the  is gonna put new techs on the  & , they got another thing coming. If they’re not paying attention, they better be now. Extra security is being place at ALL ,  &  stations for any person or persons of interest who dare to smash windows again. It’s $500 fine & 1 year in jail. And I don’t wanna hear NONE of their parents or legal guardians of that person saying that he or she was a good person. These NASD windows are very expensive. You want new subway cars? I’ll see you in a year!

Is CBTC still having issues with the 63rd St shutdown? I thought maybe it was because it struggled to handle trains entering CBTC territory and then immediately afterward having to deal with the merges at Queens Plaza.

I occurred many activities along the  &  lines and someone got busted for 🏄‍♀️ at Nostrand Ave trying to do it sideways.

That will depend if things go well for them in Canada. It will be quite a while before Solaris enters the US scene and I doubt they would want to go to MTA for orders as a new player in the market.

Unless they do electric buses. 

With all this GO going on today, there was only a train of  set of R211: 4090-4094 + 4125-4129 in service on the  and a set of R160s 8401-8404 + 8489-8492 on the  between both 207th & 168th Sts respectively to Euclid Ave. I didn’t check the Rockaway section today.

The R68A's will be stuck on  for while until about end of 2027, the way how R211's deliveries are coming along, The  should be 100% R179 and R211's by end of 2025 based on deliveries rates 20 cars per month, so basically we won't likely start seeing R211A's on other lines until beginning of 2026 or end 2025. 

Very, very well. Right now, the R211A delivery is up to 4140-4144, with 6 sets in service. 
the 6 sets are in order:

 4060-4064+4065-4069

 4070-4074+4075-4079

 4085-4089+4095-4099

 4080-4084+4120-4124

 4090-4094+4125-4129

 4110-4114+4115-4119

—————————————-

the th set: 4100-4104+4105-4109 is in burn in test. 
 

R211T: 4040-4059 are in the system and ready for passenger testing in 2024

R211S: 100-104 are in the system and it will be shipped to Staten Island and operate on their tracks after going thru testing

R211A: 4130-4144 so far are in the system and will go thru burn in. 
 

R211A: 4145-4499 will be delivered 5 cars at a time with timing from both ,  & Kawasaki.

True

If the B D don't get the r211's, then the B D will get r160's.

Regardless of the outcome, the r68's cannot stay on the B D due to CBTC on 8th Avenue and 6th Avenue.

You too

So, we have 110 R211s delivered to NYC so far, but I'm assuming 4145-49 will get delivered next week.

And MAYBE, MAYBE  a T will hit service next week cuz it's usually 1 R211A train every 2 weeks. It has been back to back, last week being 4090-94/4125-29, and today being 4110-4119. And that's probably why the MTA did so. But it's whatever. My damn diagram, but actually correct.

R211A: 4060-4144, 85 cars, or 8 10-car trains and 1 5-car train

R211T: 404-4059, 20 cars, or 2 10-car trains

R211S: 100-104, 5 cars, or 1 5-car train

Total: 85 + 20 + 5 = 110 total R211 cars

R211s in service: 4060-4099, 4110-4129 (all As), 60 cars, or 6 10-car trains

Lines R211s run on: 

Lines R211s will soon run on:  ( is still possible if the Softee transfers back to 🇯🇲)

 

You gotta take it one line at a time. You can’t assume until ALL BASE order is done 

as for the R211Ts, nobody knows for sure once the R211Ts start late this year

What do you expect? School kids come out and they wanna do damage. These parents, who don’t care about them while they’re at work, trying to support their bills, meanwhile, the kids doing all kinds of bad things: robbing, stealing, assaulting the innocent. Then they see new trains and think: “oh, new toys to bash”, however, these R211s have cams on them. They see damage, they better start running for their personal freedom, that kid gets arrested, don’t come to me crying that he or she wants to go home when they SHOULD BE HOME instead of in the subway proper. That’s why that person is always on the news, then when their parents sees this, that kid better not go home right away. If that kid does, he or she got a belt waiting. 
 

but at least on the 6th set, it’s going “complete”

Funny. The 117 and the 110 now have a connection to the Media/Wawa Line. the 110 can also go up to PA 352, along with the 114. The 127 will go from Neshaminy to Trenton, the only bus route to go to Jersey. The 14 is shortened by a lot, too, going only from Neshaminy to Oxford Valley Mall. the 130 goes to BCCC, and a couple other things I didn't mention I'll mention later

The 14 will operate 30 minute max from FTC to Neshaminy Mall and 60 minutes from the spot I bold it. The 127 has been the only bus route that goes to Jersey. But look at that whole blue shaded spot. That whole area is gonna be served by microtransit
