Some groups on the Book have flat out deleted such posts too admins have kicked out the posters too..

Yet people still are mad like "Freedom of speech"..

I mean a post of somebody doing something stupid get thousand likes yet someone doing something positive gets a handful...

Shows how braindead some folks are by glorifying dumb stunts like that...

There are such groups that are watching what posts like these and then when it’s too sensitive, ppl be yelling that, but what they’re also doing is promoting criminal behavior. You remember J31?

oh please , that is a very valid reason to farebeat , nobody is about to sit here for attempt a bunch of work arounds if their metrocard or OMNY isn’t working. If my train is coming , my train is coming 😂 and the last part of your statement is full of shit too, the average rider whether they pay their fare or not , they’re not doing all that extra shit , we’re all just tryna get from point a to point b. Now no doubt , im not putting farebeating past those ppl doing all that other stuff but let’s not blame everyone for the choices of a select few 

Ok. Don’t say a thing if a street clothes person pulls out a badge and takes you to an enclosed room and ask you questions on why you didn’t pay your fare and you better come up with a straight laced answer. So take them words back. Because what I say is good because even getting busted for farebeating is on your record for 7 years.

Repeat that last part? 😳

I also highly suggest that you guys bring Clorox wipes with you if you plan on sitting down on the trains or the local buses. I’ve seen some nasty stuff out here 🤢

Sorry but I don’t bring Clorox wipes with me. Only time I sit is on the commuter trains. Anywhere else? 👎

As much as I want to agree with you, seems rather out of touch for you to say this 🤷‍♂️.

It usually happens during off peak hours (8p-4:30a). There was a since got deleted video of it posted on fb/ig and I myself used to see lewd acts performed while I’m waiting for the train to come. For me I don’t get involved because I don’t want myself being in a situation that can lead to violence. I’m like let it be because it not my call.

"Currently, NYPD is on lookout for farebeaters".

You beat the fare because you didn’t wanna pay. Don’t start crying when cops seize your belongings because you went thru the gate without paying. They saw you carrying your speaker, $1300 cell phone, $200 in your pocket and a new pair of $400 Trump sneakers. Boy, you know these cops aren’t stupid to let you go by. Even if you say you’re going to work. They’re gonna call your employer to tell them that you got arrested for beating the fare. They will find your replacement quicker than you can say “Please”. 
 

but also: 

people who beat the fares are also the ones who starts the mayhem on the trains from robberies to killings to surfing,

and even having sex on the stations

4150-4159 is currently burn-in testing heading to Far Rockaway at ENY as of 11:10PM. I've never witnessed burn-in testing occuring this late before.

A few seconds before this, 4170-4179 showed up going Local with blank signage on the South end of the train. It's been running like this all day.

As long as trains are in service, they will fix problems enroute. Or the motor person will check the problem during terminals and find out where minor problems are at. Once this train makes its last trip of the day and heads to the yard, the list of problems are directed to maintenance and they’ll take it from there.

13 (ten car) r211's plus 13 (ten car) r179's. That's 26 NTTs for the "A" train.

Correct?

I wonder how many r46's are still running on the "A" train (without counting the r46's that are still running on the C). 

Also, is "A" train still borrowing r68's from the "B" during PM rush hour?

Not any more

it's possible as rumored that 10 car sets R179 is coming off the  going to Jamaica to beef up fleet size for  lines once the option order start coming in, then we could see  gets R211's, Car Equipment could do a 180 and send option order R211 to Jamaica, 8car R179 could go to ENY for  services.

Btw i saw 4190-4199 in service on  2 days ago at work.

Right now, that’s just hearsay. Wait until DCE/DOS does it in action. Right now, these cars are staying on the A/C. So don’t believe any foamers. Wait until you hear from the bosses. 

Like she said. It’s up to the DCE to decide where these cars go to. If the cars go to this line and this yard, they will go to this yard and assign them to the line of their choosing. That’s why you see so many white/blue hard paper poster boards put all over on the 8th Ave line.

I don't gotta stop using the  same words at all and the bx15 stoping at e168 Street is only 1 block away from the orginal stop at e169 for bronx lebanon and your saying nobody travels the bus past 149 st so basically your that we shouldnt have a bronx bus to lga airport. Your saying people should travel to Manhattan  to catch the bus to leave instead of having our own bronx bus to lga. 

That’s what the M60 SBS is for.

It's never to late the bx15 limited makes alot of sesne to the airport  the bx15 is already going to e149 it is  already going to the hub and so is the limited your reason of why it shouldn't go to laguardia is  not much of a reason  and the bx26 and bx30 argument  is not much if a  answer either 

 

But you’re also taking away the service to Fulton Ave Bronx Lebanon Hospital for limited stop service. That is very highly used. But you also gotta stop using the same words twice and using run ons every time you write. Now the reason why i say no to the Bx15 LTD to LGA, not too many passengers along 3rd Ave past 149th St unless you got zip bus

I think 3 bus should be extended 

The bx 26 should go to Riverdale 231 st station this would connect coop city and Riverdale  it can go on goulden  Ave and turn on reservoir Ave  than go on sedgwick Ave and follow the bx1 route to 231 st and Broadway  end route at 231 st and Broadway 

 

The bx30 should extend to bronx zoo  instead of a random place like Pelham parkway 

 

 The b15 limited should go to laguardia airport. The bx 15 local  can end at the hub and make all stops. I would keep the bx15 limited  stops expect for  166 street.

 

After the limited reach the the hub I would let it turn left on e149 st and  then turn right on brook Ave  and take it down turn left on  e134 st  to enter 278 highway and then follow the m60 to laguardia airport 

  Bx 15  limited stops after leaving fordham  total 8 stops

1 st Barnabas hospital

2 e180 st

3 e tremont

4 claremont parkway

5 e 168 st 

6 e163 st 

7 the hub

8 brook Ave station 6 train 

Then follow M60 route 

 

         

           

You’re kinda late for that. The Bronx redesign is done. 
1. the Bx25 & Bx26 is not warranted past 205th St, plus, there’s 5 bus routes that go that way as well. 
2. the Bx30 now follows the old Bx7 route that terminates at Pelham Parkway. 
3. no to the Bx15LTD to LGA. They already cut that route to serve 149th to Fordham Plaza. The Bx15 LTD follows the old Bx55 route, minus 174th St. people on 3rd Ave wanted the limited bus stops to continue to serve the stations the 3rd Ave El made. 

the Bronx to LGA had 2 proposed routes only to have them scrapped

Well that was my point. I made that point about them having expensive cell phones and sneakers but supposedly being "unable" to afford $2.75.

Even a rich white kid don’t pay on buses either so don’t get it twisted. I’ve seen it happening one  many times. Says a guy who was raised in the projects and paid his fare. 

 This is R211 4180-4184 & 4080-4084 separately on the  line heading for Pitkin

Nice. I wasn't expecting this. That would be the 13th train in service (that's including the 4080s). But I've seen nothing with 4140-44 and 4160-64 tbh. I'm worrying that set might be a false report.

Can someone post photos to make sure 4140 and 4160 being in service isn't false?

The reason you didn’t see it because many META accounts were frozen. So nobody got the message. But I followed the guys who were up & down on 8th Ave today

I have an idea for many bus routes. The MTA should bring back the culture loop routes again so that tourist starting at JFK or LGA can explore the city.

If they didn’t sell their souls to private companies, then the M41 & B88 will still be alive today. The 3rd one, Bx56 would have made it past 1974. The forth one: Q90 & the fifth one: S119 would have kicked in gear in 1976 & 1977 with the arrival of new buses. Q90 would operate out of Jamaica and S119 would operate out of Castleton. All 5 routes would meet in Midtown Manhattan, using express buses that normally operate on weekdays only.

So, this isn't completely official yet, as it's pending FTA approval, but Green Mountain Transit up in Vermont is planning to transfer 7 2013 MCI D4500CTs over to NYCT. These buses have not been used in service for some time. I can definitely see Castleton getting all 7 of these.

There is a pretty good chance that these will also be in the new scheme, just completely wrapped. Whether or not the signs or the alcoas will remain will be up for debate(they'll likely get swapped out).

-edit-
lol to whomever that reported this on Discord. Y'all are quick!

2305-2311 if approved. And why are ppl still using Discord? Me personally, I’m against discord or any political supported social media network

If all continues to go well with the r211's, the r46's will become a minority of the A fleet by the end of this month.

Hopefully, the C can keep the r179's until option 1. I'm not crazy about the r46's running on the C.

Pitkin should send the r46's to CI or removed them from service (not retire them yet) once more r211's enter service.

A fleet? That’s the IRT. You mean B fleet. 
but remember this: You also have R211Ts on the  as well. Pitkin will send the R46 cars to CI. The worst performing cars will go, while the best performing cars will be stored in case of emergency 

On 3/1/2024 at 4:09 PM, Ale188 said:

And which ones?

50- a possible 100 cars. 4200-4300? That’s why they’re trying to get things done. 140 cars are in, with several in service and burn ins. 

I seen 2 buses: 7723 and 7527 that have gotten into separated accidents on threads that do NOT belong there, it should be on this particular thread. 

On 2/25/2024 at 5:07 PM, DCTransitFilms said:

so all being retired?

No. They will be held until each bus that was involved in the accident is accounted for and given what reason. NJT has some very strict rules on what and why.
