I’m on a 4 train that overshot at 161st. What’s the protocol on deciding whether to open the doors or skip the station?

Cops nationwide keep resisting. And videos didn’t stop that one guy by Barclays knocking that woman onto the curb, nor those Manhattan units from kettling protesters and hitting them when they tried going over the bridges to comply with DeBlasio’s curfew. Thats why I’m not a fan of Mayor McCheese’s using cops to expel hobos from the subway when there’s a whole Homeless Department AND Housing police units with Social Workers that should be down there sorting all this out (since all but a few would be eligible for Medicaid and housing vouchers) versus general police who are trained to take control of a situation by any means necessary except negotiating (unless you’re in a certain demographic).

Beyond the anti-terrorism unit that meets at Bowling Green in the AM, or the platoon that blocks the stairs at Grand Central, I see more NYPD on the SI Ferry than I do the or . Still haven’t seen any of those 500 PD Cuomo ordered - unless they’re the State Troopers that hang out at St George Ferry or in front of the 120th Precinct across the street. And don’t get me started about how panhandling is illegal inside St George Ferry but that entire NYPD Ferry Patrol doesn’t enforce it despite having a whole station inside. Best way to change the narrative from the ACAB Progressives’ line and get trust from us demos that are always on the negative end of police excess - since we actually want effective and respectful policing is to police sans the “YOU WILL GET BEATEN UNTIL YOU RESPECT US” mindset. That’s not what Pat Lynch & Co want though, but lemme stop with the sociopoliticals.

So indicative of the problem with policing today - if cops won’t do their jobs for fear of being filmed and scrutinized (laughable since few actually get disciplined or terminated), then it holds that the complaints about policing are salient. Easy problem to solve, but as Churchill said, “America will do the right thing after it tried everything else” - or something similar. I’d rather this be a certainty than a possibility. ===== All said, I don’t feel unsafe on the subway, but I do feel annoyed. Was at Penn on the yesterday and saw a hobo harassing a skater to the point he’s on one of the help phones calling for help while there’s 4 Blue Bloods I passed above ground at 34th/7th watching pedestrian traffic vs being in the station (which already has/had too much vice going on). We need a separate transit police back - was a dumb decision by Giuliani to merge NYCTA Police with NYPD. Also, where are those 500 police Cuomo imposed?

So I just learned that I can OMNY SBS buses by tapping like I do regular buses. Question though: say sends Eagle Teams or someone onto an SBS for fare enforcement. How do I prove I paid the SBS fare if I used my phone/watch or bank card if one of the Team Members ask?

Wasn’t it always? They do that on R46 and R68 trains. Stops changing cars, but like that one time I was stuck on the at 207th during a track fire, or those folks on that R46 when it lost power, what do you do when the crew’s button releasing the locks don’t work and folks need air or to escape?

Vegas did that at a few intersections on the Strip and built bridges to reduce car vs people collisions. Transit systems around the world put up PSDs to reduce passenger track incursions. Dunno why anyone would be against anything that would reduce delays from someone getting hit by a train, but you do you.

Why don’t you just use your phone/smart watch?

Oh gawd if it was buses I would’ve thrown my phone already. Although that woman at Apple SoHo’s Genius Bar was bangin, so a broke iPhone would be a good excuse to go back for another repair and holler at her.

That’s the problem. Technically you could do to 161st to to at Barclays. But why to TSQ to ?

It’s the most absurd subway-based game ever. After my 3rd time doing it, I was confident it was some bored programmer and not @Wallyhorse who made it.

Bruh. I did that one and almost threw my phone. If it were about finding the most absurd way to get somewhere, I’d “overstand”, but even with how redundant the subway is, no one’s ever a) gonna do it if they’re not fanning, and b) there’s too many ways to do it. Someone just looked at the map and said “okay”. At least the ones using made some sense.

Somebody figure out who created Subwaydle and tell him/her to join this forum so stupid things like this don’t happen:

All that like folks wouldn’t take buses, or ride to Jamaica and switch to to or and enjoy the time savings.

Whomever it was that made Subwaydle knows nothing about the subway.

If they did that while on a Sun-Sat capping schedule, they’d be giving away free rides. Thats a marketing promotion. Once they see it works - operationally and financially, maybe the 7-day period goes Mon-Sun, or is based on the first swipe after “x” days of no swipes, or maybe you’ll go on OMNY’s site/app and pick a day. Or maybe they’ll count fares up to a 30-day unlimited equivalent and then give you the rest of the month. It’s a test now - let them get the answers right so we can have nice(r) things.

Maths: Fare is $2.75 for a ride and transfer. Round trip is $5.50. $5.50 x 6 days = $33 Unlimited card is $33/week. So if you needed to travel Saturday, with fare capping it’s free rides; without it it’s another $5.50. What’s the problem now?

Was this someone here?

Fare capping is saying “you spent this much, so we’re automatically upgrading you to this unlimited so you don’t spend more money for ‘X’ timeframe”. Its never been “spend this much and get a free bus pass” - that’s a marketing promotion.

Pretty sure I saw this, but I was sitting on the and people were in front of me, but did anyone else see a train run southbound on the uptown express track at TSQ ~5 minutes ago (5:20-5:25)?

And someone crashed it. https://jalopnik.com/two-mta-employees-wreck-the-mtas-only-boat-1848261064

Now an essay. Since your ego’s invested in this, go ahead with the last word. I won’t read it - like I haven’t with anything else you’ve written since Saturday (because 1) it’s all from a flawed premise - that piss-poor analogy, and 2) I’ve watched you for years throw fits whenever you’ve “decided” to come for someone that had nerve to disagree with you OR agree with you but not enough), but I’m sure you’ll feel better. I’ll even do you the solid of not even replying to your future comments unless I have to moderate something in them. Floor’s yours.

Yawn. I mean, props to you for trying to find a way to win an argument you started with a piss-poor analogy and deliberate misreading and misinterpretation of a post, but yawn at the latest attempt to prove yourself superior over others on transit stuff. I’m sure your parents might be proud, but I’m bored. Aight then.

So your whole argument is based on a bunch of broke ass hoteps and misogynists whinging on YouTube and Clubhouse to get likes and paid as creators. <Insert Muttley Laughing gif> Aight then.
