It may be, but it actually kind of helps in passenger flow IMO. It hints to passengers getting off before others get on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's mainly the issue. Kind of like the silver line on Washington metro. They did it right. Part of the line was built, but they ended phase one at a station that wouldn't of really made sense to end at. That was a move to make sure the full line would be completed, cuz it didn't make sense to not continue. But phase three, it is mostly complete, so phase 4 could get put on the back burner.

Very exciting! Does anyone know the first time the general public will be able to see them on long island? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does anyone agree it makes sense to try to on some level combine phases three and four? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really? On the map mta provides for full buildout doesn't show transfers at 14th. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was advised to bring this conversation over here... Phases three and four of SAS need a little work IMO. I know we probably won't even see phase two for another decade at least, but never too early to start prepping. First, I feel like these phases should just be combined into one larger contract, or at least have funding for both at once. Progress is just too slow otherwise. Second, I feel that stop placements are a little off, and so are connections. For example, East Village is basically skipped over, with two stops on the outskirts of the neighborhood. And, with having a stop on 14th street, why not connect to the L? It wouldn't be a bad thing to have riders from Brooklyn taking the second avenue line instead of further crowding Lexington first.

Probably yeah... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Probably, like a connection to first avenue on the L or something Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Gotta disagree with that. The lower East side really needs another north south connection. Although, I don't understand some of the stop placements. East village is kind of skipped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm starting to think the R211s might already be RETIRED before the full second avenue subway project is complete [emoji19][emoji19][emoji19][emoji19][emoji19][emoji19][emoji19] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Does that mean they'd be even more cheap than they would usually be now? It's still a very large order. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yup, n23 back in 2014 and n22A literally three days ago. Don't even have weekend service on n27 anymore. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of the bus stops near me: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1IlJL3_8EKh4cd499bYqv9LbIIAVmr4Euaw Kind of makes me sad to see it so empty Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Definitely. They only updated the signs in one direction tho, so still waiting. The interactive one on the website from my last check is missing the n20H, so that's great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well, NICE finally updated the bus route signs by my house, after 4 1/2 MONTHS of the route being eliminated. Smh... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am very confused about this entire thing, does anyone actually know when the first cars will arrive in Long island? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sorry to bombard you with questions, but do all of the train sets have to be tested there? Or just the pilot cars. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So the trains, after tested by the FRA, will probably be brought by a freight carrier? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Oh, completely forgot about the federal railway administration testing. Thanks. Is there a freight carrier that'll attach the cars to bring them over to long island, or by a different method? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I had actually thought some already arrived, at least the pilot cars. Some official sheet said they would be tested in "Pueblo". I don't think they mean Colorado, or Kentucky for that matter. I have no idea what that meant. But at least according to the original schedule, the pilot cars are here. I really don't know, sorry. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'd imagine Xcelsior has quite the backlog at this point. It seems like at least once a week they are receiving new orders for the Xcelsiors! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Lol, I thought the train at 4:42 was an M9. That would've been weird. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay thanks. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
