If demand keeps expanding, the MTA might need to add more and trips there. All the more reason to hurry up with Phases 2 and 3, preferably at the same time so the could open.

I heard on Facebook that it went down on September 3. I don't know why though. The Forum is registered in Dallas, Texas, so maybe it had to do with the hurricane there and the resulting infrastructure collapse.

You mean Church St? The 8 Ave line doesn't run under Chambers. In fact, Chambers doesn't have any lines under it. Theoretically it's just wide enough for a two-track line. Church is five and a half lanes. The QBL runs under Broadway in Queens, which is even narrower. The Broadway line runs under Broadway in Manhattan, which manages to be even narrower than Broadway in Queens.

That's the better-looking one. The closed entrance is even "lovelier". It's even decorated with graffiti over an ugly corrugated gate!

I can see why but maybe they do deadheads too. I saw another CBTC today, so I'm thinking that ENY has too few non-CBTC R160 cars to not use the CBTC cars on other services.

Yeah, the subway is above 174th Street. The entrance is on the side of the tunnel under the Grand Concourse and the IND Concourse Line. Then you walk upstairs to the platforms after going through the fare control. (Edit; fixed typos)

I guess the MTA thought that, "These are never going to be used again, but if it makes the platforms on each side of the track look symmetrical, then so be it." Then wasted a lot of money renovating unused platforms. Not to mention that 174-175 St is built across a gorge with access from both below and above the station. From the looks of it, the climb from 174th Street to the Concourse is a very long detour without having to go through the station mezzanine. Closing the station will cut off that shortcut. I hope that after the renovation, they reopen the 175th Street exit. Another potential shortcut for riders in the area.

That happens literally all the time. This would come in handy when Queens Blvd is automated in 20 years, but for now, the R160 CBTC trains aren't a problem. There's only a problem when non-CBTC R160s go on the , because they can't. I heard it was June 24 or 25.

Or just move the switch north of the station... nah, too expensive. Anyway, with 148 St so close, I don't think most riders in the last 5 cars would mind having to wait a few minutes to get off at 148th, or walk the extra few blocks. It's not like 145th is a major source of riders, unlike South Ferry, which is that plus a terminal and transfer hub.

Aw man... but hey, at least he has his world record, which he already bested once. 'cuz that's how *some* New Yorkers are...

It duplicates the for most of its route. If not that, then the LIRR. I highly doubt that the MTA will convert an entire route to an SBS route if the bus mostly duplicates the subway. I could be wrong. The B44 and M15 are the exceptions since part of each route duplicates the subway. But they both have local variants and have long stretches with little to no subway duplication.

Probably Mr. Ahn trying to beat his own record... again. He already did it once after setting the Guinness World Record. Rode all 469 stations and got a shorter time. At this rate it will be at R35XXX by the end of the century. If the subway survives that long.

The Bx6 SBS is unusual. First, the route doesn't have an existing limited route to convert to SBS, unlike the Bx12, M15, B44, or B46. Second, the local route will stay, unlike the M86 or M23. IMO the B82 SBS should continue on Kings Highway past Flatbush unlike the current B82, which turns right. Then the B82 SBS should turn right on Glenwood and continue the whole way until Pennsylvania Av. This should be done for both directions of B82 SBS, and anyway, even if the B82 retained the same route, would be much faster for SBS riders since Glenwood has fewer routes and bus frequency than Flatlands. If a LIC route is being converted to SBS, how about the Q69? The only thing is that in the north, it parallels the M60. Looks like the most logical choice though; the Q102 is right under the Astoria line, and the Q103 and Q104 basically hug the shore, serving a smaller area.

Thanks. Do you or anyone else know if the MTA is doing platform closures or just expansion and component repair? According to the images, the full closures will only be done in the renovations of 23rd, 28th, and 57th. Besides, these stations are just too busy to close fully, and both look like they've been renovated within the last decade anyway. At the time it was the , and I think the MTA was only concerned about sorting the stations based on the services that were currently stopping there. If the MTA had just put the , they would be dealing with nonsense about "Why is the MTA referring to a service that doesn't exist anymore?" as soon as that plan was published. It's not like the official map which, unlike this plan, has to be updated with the correct services. Most of the public won't see this plan, or if they do, won't care. There would only be a problem if both of the services were changed, e.g. if it said "30 Av ".
