  1. Thinking about this for awhile, I don't see any reason why they cant run the on weekends. It has better frequencies than the whenever it runs.
  2. I'm pretty sure I've never seen any other fleet on the and except what they run now, which I'm pretty sure has been consistent since the mid-late 80s. It'll probably remain that way til 2035 at least
  3. Sometimes you get lucky when a BxM1, 2, or 3 operator is a speed demon flooring it down Madison Ave or 3rd Ave to get to the Deegan. It's always north of 80th St when its really noticable, and usually only on northbound trips.
  4. Why did they ever remove R62s from the around 2003/2004? That kinda took the heart and soul out of that express line. I dont think its ever been the same since the "This is a Manhattan bound 4 train, the next stop is ..." have overtaken the line...
  5. Interesting stuff. I wonder what went on behind the scenes with all these 80s/90s moves within the subway system
  6. But they still got the going local from BPB via Concourse to 59th St, making every stop along the way
  7. Why did they ever stop running the to Bedford Park with the ?
  8. the new route to Inwood would be the M99, different from the M98 north of 125th, as it would take the HRD all the way up to Dyckman. Then It would serve Inwood.
  9. How about a new LTD route along Lex/3rd Avs, the M99, between E Midtown and E Harlem, then up the HRD to Inwood, serving Dyckman St and Broadway terminating at Bway/220th St. This would eliminate the Inwood service on the BxM1 and make that a quicker route, as well as giving Inwood residents an express route to Midtown for $2.75
  10. I like this idea of shortening the really long routes a bit. I'm thinking terminating the M101 at 125th St/1st Ave where the M100 ends is pretty good. The M2 and M4 both could be truncated to 96th St/Madison Ave (except late nights for the M2) install a new route (M13) making all local stops on 5th/Madison Avs between 8th St & 106th St, route will replace M106 along 106th St and terminate at 106th St/FDR Drive keep the M3 and add full time limited service except for late nights. extend M5 back to Houston St like the pre 2010 days renumber M55 back to M6 and install a new southbound route via 7th Ave, 32nd St, broadway extend the M1 back to South Ferry just like the pre 2010 days, also revert back to Park Ave south of 40th St extend M10 and M104 down to Penn Sta, terminating at 31st St. increase frequencies on the M102 and M103 as they are now the only two Lex/3rd Avs routes. Also implement Limited service on the M102 with the M106 eliminated, more resources will be used for the M96 and the new M13. M98 extended back down to 34th St. this is all for better Manhattan service
  11. But when there's no incident on the RFK I feel like they would kill a lot of time and beat traffic
  12. I wonder if any northbound BxM6/7/8/9/10/11s have skipped the RFK bridge hassle and taken the Willis Ave Bridge to Bruckner Blvd/Bruckner Expwy. Wonder how much time that would save
  13. When I get the or home from work at night (I get on at Chambers St) it doesnt matter which one i get because theyre both going local. They're always being held up somewhere along the line too, sometimes for 10 minutes
  14. I remember as a kid when they only ran to 34th St under Manhattan bridge construction. That took the soul and identity out of the and
  15. Anybody else tired of express trains constantly running local... especially the
  16. Anyone here think the Q2 and Q8 should be combined into one route.
  17. How will all the detoured routes be affected tomorrow for the marathon?
  18. The QM1/5/6 should use the LIE to the GCP to Union Tpke. It could kill a ton of time, especially in non rush hour
  19. Those RTSs were powerful rocketships, and I've ridden both the old and the new. The older buses had more speed, and power, and will probably get way more years than these newbies
  20. Does anyone notice that the has the best frequency of all the CPW lines yet it's the only one that doesn't run on weekends.
  21. the only good low floors are the older Orion VII CNGs. Other than that, the buses all sound the same, and have a weak sound to them. The RTSs could get you from Riverdale Ave/263rd St to Riverdale Ave/231st St in 10 min. The hybrids take 20 min. Even Orion Vs had stronger sounding engines. And those MCI Classics were speeding bullets going 70mph on the Deegan
  22. the new buses also don't have much power or a unique sound identity to them
