That's good. I've heard that the (J) can run trains at 26 TPH. Is that still accurate? I noticed CBTC infrastructure (namely those yellow signs) on the Culver section of the line in February 2018. Are they considering that corridor for CBTC? If so, what's the timeline for activating it? Reader Note: I haven't rode any train into Brooklyn since May 2018.

Isn't there a certain cap to how many trains you can squeeze per hour? That sounds like a bad idea. But I could be wrong. What is the TPH limit for the crosstown?

Now that they've axed the shutdown, will they still lengthen trains? They always seemed overcrowded anyway, and I know the feeling** of coming down to the platform on the staircase that's too far away to the train as its doors close. Are they still going to fix the tunnel using the 3-year plan? **Although it's been a while since I've had this feeling.

That's a good way to sum it up. Kinda like moving fast and breaking things.

The fact that this bus can be in a museum and in operation is appalling. Accommodating wheelchairs on these buses adds 5 minutes to the trip every time. It isn't fair to them, and it isn't fair to able-bodied riders on a tight schedule. Flatbush deserves better and I hope they get better equipment.

This thread is a fantastic window into the transit authority's difficult-to-shed past. Those rollsigns were something else.

CDTA is making a bid to annex Montgomery County to the service area. It's a move that's welcomed by the County Executive, State Senator Amedore (49), Assemblyman Santabarbara (111) and numerous employers along Route 5S, including Fulton-Montgomery Community College. Amsterdam, the US House District Seat, is 15 miles from Schenectady to the West. Montgomery County shuttered its transit authority in April 2018. https://www.wamc.org/post/montgomery-county-leaders-seek-cdta-service © WAMC | story by Lucas WIllard | 3/22/2019

CDTA has been awarded funding for the River Corridor BusPlus Blue Route, which will complement the 22, 182, and 370 when it opens for business in a few years. The contract is nearly $27 million. BusPlus Red (905) is the most trafficked route in the system, with 3 million annual riders. The (1blue) comes in second at 1.5 million riders.

I rode it last weekend as a 117 on my way to the Crossgates Mall. I really like the deat design. It's catchy and hypo-allergenic.

About 3-4 MPH. It depends on whether or not I'm in a flat or hilly area. I run at about 6 MPH at best. I'm in better shape than I was in 2013, but not in 2008. When I enter the city, it takes me about ninety seconds to get from coach to subway, and another one hundred seconds to properly load my MetroCard and use it.

and given this Governor only won a third term by the hair on his city-chin-chins**, he should try not to upset the largest constituency in the state (Kings County). ** - Why the Mother Goose reference? I mean this.

Brooklynites' input be damned. This is what happens when we pander to irrational mobs. My statement on Mastodon: This is also on my Twitter, but that is private. https://mastodon.cloud/@masstransitkrow/101354843094595387

that makes sense. I've heard that the train arrivals line up worse with the buses at 86th St.

Someone mentioned about the timing between trains terminating at South Ferry and missing the ferry by a few minutes because of the offset. Do they plan on adjusting the Ferry or times to compensate? Also, I previously mentioned that the (via 86th St in Brooklyn) can be used to connect to buses headed to Staten Island. While this may add as much as half an hour to commuters from the Bronx and Manhattan, the difference might be less if you're commuting from Brooklyn or Queens. What are this community's thoughts on that now? And if you have a final destination in Staten Island, how do you cope?

What I wished they did was put those students on the EasyPay program and simply have educational institutions subsidize the cost. This way you can have a card that works with Bee-Line and NICE and can be replaced if it's lost or stolen with the balance you previously had. I wish they streamlined it so that people didn't have to wait ten days, and that full fare customers could benefit from the dual use mode that seniors enjoy. However, they will not work with PATH or JFK AirTrain (unlimited version). Upstate, a system like that is already in place, called "Universal Access." My suggestion is more ad-hoc though. At the February 2015 public meeting at the Westchester County Center, I mentioned the above idea.

TransDev is now Transport of Rockland's bus operator. The change occurred earlier last month.

I thought this might be useful to leave here. An entire folder dedicated to all the buses I ever rode and hope to ride. I update it every few months, but if anything is out of date, let me know. Folders listed by Agency. It's public. No login needed, although it would help, because you'd be able to save it to your own OneDrive.
