That’s correct because the overnight has a total of 61 stops. But now that the 239th St/East 180 St/Unionport Yard’s R142s have their strip maps completely combing the / , it’s impossible to add all of the 7th Ave local stops because as @Calvin stated, the aforementioned strip maps are only limited to 64 stops total.

There are a lot more s to 59 St during the AM Rush (and a lot more s from 36 St in the afternoon) in the updated August 28, 2023 schedule versus the June 26, 2022 schedule as a result of the increase in service.

I also want to further add on my post that, unlike WillyB, the MannyB with the each have the same 6 minute headways during rush hours unlike the ‘s 10 minute headway verses the combined which is 5 minutes.

The lone good thing about the Manhattan Bridge is the each run on a 6 minute headway during rush hours, meaning each side of the bridge has at most 20 tph. And yeah, they can build a tube under the river but because of how expensive it can cost, I thought increasing service on the existing bridge (the Williamsburg Bridge) would be cheaper instead. But I appreciate you for being informative with the post. Thanks.

Okay, so the Department of Transportation will always forever be shitty then. A total of 18 trains entering Essex St from 8 am to 9 am and leaving said station from 5 pm to 6 pm is very low. The combined run on a 5 minute headway while the runs on a mere 10 minute headway instead of the same headway. But whatever. I said what I said.

Typical response. That’s why the in general will always forever be shitty.

I swear. They need to increase service from Metro in the AM Rush and back to Metro in the PM Rush. During the AM Rush in particular, the gets crushed before Myrtle and remain that way all the way into Midtown. The can remain every 10 minutes other times but during peak hours, the headway should be 5 minutes like the skip-stop service in one direction. Not both directions but one direction as I stated in my above sentence. This better happen when CBTC on Queens Blvd is fully finished in the coming years.

And also a guide dog if the person is blind/disabled.

Did the R40 and R42 fleets had seats at the B ends or just C/R controls? I heard part of the reason why the summer car swap permanently discontinued was because the R32s had no seats at the B ends for the C/Rs so they were forced to stand for over 2 hours especially if the train was scraping the walls overnight. The whole concept in general with the former 60 foot SMEE fleets is just weird.

I’m gonna have to respectfully disagree with this, at least partially. The run every 8 minutes middays and weekends. The run every 8 minutes middays and 12 minutes weekends. Most of the B Division runs every 10 minutes middays and 12 minutes off peak. The I understand because it runs a total of 18 train sets all day and evening. Also understand the R46 since they are the currently the oldest active fleet in the system and also very low on spares between the day the R32s retired and the day the R211s first entered service. The are thus the only lines in the system that run with high frequency all day and evening, although the does have the highest number of trains total (both in service and as spares) in the system.

Smh. I'm pretty sure he is aware of that. He was just speaking in general. Anyway, the during the AM Rush out of Met sure does get packed before reaching Myrtle-B'way and remain so all the way into Midtown. Hopefully in the future, they have more cars to increase service and evenly match the 5-minute headway on the during that timeframe as well.

Sorry for the late reply, but just want to point out that the under your proposal cannot operate to/from 57-6 after 9 p.m. on weekdays and all weekend because you have to keep in mind the are often rerouted via 6 Av between Jay St and W 4 St, and still often continues to happen to this day. Every trunk line in the system on weekends in particular only require 3 different routes due to ongoing flagging and GOs.

He was just saying… No, you’re good. Though keep in mind, the runs on a 6 minute headway in both directions during rush hours and 10 minutes off peak (12 minutes on weekends). Whereas in the ‘s case, during rush hours, it’s 10 minutes in one direction (from Bedford Park Blvd in the AM and back to Bedford Park Blvd in the PM) while the other direction is 6 minutes like the . Nevertheless, there are scattered delays with the single pocket operation. This is especially true at 145 St because if a and heading north arrive at/leave 125 St at the same time, only one of them has to wait at 135 St, the next station, while the other proceeds to 145 St, the following station. This in turn can delay a northbound or behind it. Also, if a southbound leaves 145 St, then the behind it is delayed. The current design and layout of both Homeball Alley and the Grand Concourse Line isn’t the best. I think the Grand Concourse Line was originally meant to be four tracks but that was scrapped presumably because of some lawsuit from the IRT from what I heard. Anyway, the least they can do is run the weekday only service to/from Bedford Park Blvd permanently (meaning the would run express in one direction during this time). But I doubt the would ever let that happen unless there is demand for it, which I also doubt. Not a bad idea overall though.

Southbound trains apply the brakes midway through Hoyt St in my experience most of the time, while northbound go at a faster speed leaving Nevins Street, also in my experience most of the time as well.

So the shuttle will use a small portion of the 8-car units currently assigned to the ? Wow. Also, never knew the moved from ENY to Jamaica Yard. Agreed.

Ya’ll say anything. Very typical for a social media platform as per usual. The R211s just got here. But whatever floats your boats…

Awww, my DM sure got you in your pee wee little feelings enough to label me as a “foamer”, huh? Lmfao. It takes one to know one. Stay mad. I said what I said. You take my responses way too seriously. Go outside and have some fun. It’s summer time. And as said above, before you call anyone a foamer, make sure you use proper English first. 😂🤣 @RandomRider0101, don’t pay this dude no mind. Let him be snide and whiny.

I partially agree. I believe the NTTs in general struggle around the 40+ mph mark unless the distance between stations are long enough for them to easily reach 50 mph without worry. I’m guessing it’s because they are just simply programmed that way due to them being computerized trains. The SMEEs on the other hand seem to perform better in that regard, even though they had their field shunting removed ages ago. I read somewhere that northbound trains in Brooklyn can hit 51 mph into Newkirk. Nonetheless, I do agree that the brakes may vary depending on the car type, especially the 75 footers. BIEs are so common for some reason just going off the app as of late. Probably always have been I guess.

How…

Yeah, that’s what I was saying. I understood what you said from the jump.

I think @trainfan22 meant the Redbirds had the lowest breakdown rates in 1999. Low MDBFs = high breakdown rates High MDBFs = low breakdown rates

The inspection shops inside 207th Street Yard apparently can't.

Deadass? Was it southbound or northbound?

There weren’t enough cars in the Eastern Division at the time to warrant the current , so they thought it was easier to reduce the to free up cars for the ‘s existence. I believe the only way the current could have existed in December 2001 is if the R27s and R30s (known as the B Division Redbirds) were not permanently retired and that those cars would have been rotated between the and , with the being all R42s like before prior to the R160 phase in.

MTA plan to boost weekend subway service under Hochul’s budget deal By Nolan Hicks May 2, 2023 2:22pm Updated 0 of 1 minute, 11 secondsVolume 0% MORE ON:MTA NYC’s mental-health failure: Letters to the Editor — May 8, 2023 NYC hasn’t ‘failed’ like San Fran, but we can’t let our guard down Biden administration allows NY’s traffic congestion pricing plan to move forward How Jordan Neely’s subway encounter took a deadly turn with fatal chokehold It’s a B/F/D. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority is plotting a dramatic expansion of subway service that will have some lines run as frequently as every six to eight minutes on weekends, The Post has learned. No, it’s not April 1. The changes are tentatively set to roll out in three waves over the next twelve months beginning this summer, sources say. The first wave is expected to begin in July and will boost weekend service frequency on the G, J and M trains to every 8 minutes, up from the current 10 minutes. Beginning in August, the MTA plans to add more trains to the midday Monday-Friday service on the C, N and R — pushing frequencies on those lines to every 8 minutes from every 10 minutes as well. The 1 and 6 lines will also get additional service for the midday Saturday and Sunday schedules, with trains expected to run every 6 minutes. The second wave of improvements is expected to roll out in December. MTA chairman Janno Lieber holds his arms out wide in February as he showed off one of the agency’s newest subway trains. Paul Martinka It calls for increasing weekday evening service on the C, N and R trains to every 8 minutes, up from every 10-12 minutes; the G, meanwhile, would see trains arrive every 8 minutes during its midday Monday-Friday service. Officials also expect to expand the weekend six-minute schedules on the 1 and 6 trains to cover more hours on Saturdays and Sundays. The third tranche is expected by summer 2024, when the MTA plans to up Monday-Friday midday and evening service on the B, D, J and M lines by running trains every 8 minutes. The 3 and 5 lines would see their weekend service increased, too, with trains running every 10 minutes instead of every 12. People wait to board a C train at Hoyt-Schermerhorn in Brooklyn in January 2023. C train will be one of the biggest winners of the MTA’s coming service expansion, with trains expected to run every 8 minutes on weekdays by the end of the year. Getty Images Riders disembark from a 1 train on the Upper West Side last week. The 1 train and its sister on the Lexington Avenue subway, the 6, will both run service every 6 minutes during the day on weekends starting this summer. J.C. Rice The service boosts do not come with route extensions for lines that are truncated during the evenings or on weekends: The M would still terminate at Delancey-Essex Streets and the 5 would continue to turn back at Bowling Green. Sources caution the plans are not finalized and that weekend service will still face disruptions due maintenance and the multi-billion dollar program to replace the MTA’s century-old and failure prone stoplight signals with a new computerized system. A person familiar with the plan added that the MTA is also seeking to increase the speed at which trains can travel through work zones — which commonly disrupt weekend service — by 5 mph in order to fit the new schedule. Trains currently crawl underground at speeds of fewer than 10 mph. Despite the caveats, transit activists and progressive politicians hailed the plan, seeing it as vindication of their hard lobbying of Gov. Hochul to include funding for improved service as part of the MTA rescue package in the newly unveiled state budget. The J and M trains would both see their midday and weekend service improved to every 8 minutes by summer 2024 under the MTA’s new expanded schedules. Paul Martinka “This is a huge victory for riders,” said Danny Pearlstein, the top spokesman for Riders Alliance, which campaigned hard for the service increases. “It’s a renewed public investment in a basic service.” “It’s going to make our city much better,” Pearlstein added. “More frequent service cuts travel times for essential workers, makes it easier for all of us to visit our friends and family and it ties the whole city closer together.” “Our campaign to ‘Fix The MTA’ has won important victories that will make a real material difference in the lives of working-class New Yorkers,” said Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani (D-Queens), one of the most active boosters of the effort to expand service. Advocates have argue the bolstered schedules are essential to the MTA’s post-pandemic future — a future in which fewer workers commute to the office while long waits during off-peak hours lead potential riders to hire a car rather than take the train. 12 What do you think? Post a comment. Officials, meanwhile, hope the increased regularity will better align train schedules with post-COVID ridership trends, which have seen straphangers return at around 80% of pre-pandemic levels on weekends. They also are banking on silencing long-standing complaints about infrequent service and crowded conditions during off-peak hours. The stepped-up service will be funded by a $35 million deal struck by Hochul and state lawmakers in the recently concluded budget talks. The MTA bailout is primarily funded by a $1.1 billion hike in payroll taxes for major companies based in the Big Apple, while City Hall is being forced to contribute another $165 million to the MTA to pay for a greater share of the para-transit costs.https://nypost.com/2023/05/02/mta-plan-to-boost-weekend-service-under-hochuls-budget-deal/
