Just a thought… to avoid situations like at 59th St on Lex, how about the MTA programs announcements so that the next stop is announced with transfers after you leave the previous stop instead of when you arrive at the next stop? It was done during the bus announcement pilot, so why not on the subways?
Then again, the MDBF of R46s is actually in the middle when it comes to all the NYCT cars. How come they're often involved in the most high-profile incidents, like when that R46 F train stranded passengers recently?
No, they haven't. There isn't even a Guide-a-Ride. I think they just put the local sign on the same pole as the SBS sign.

People already have trouble knowing the difference when Bx12 SBS service ends during late nights and are waiting at 10th Avenue at around 11 or so. They never read the destination signs!
I'm sure you know about that very well.

So I was on 4079 on the Bx12 tonight and it has info screens but no announcements. Have they expanded the pilot?

Why is the trackbed on the between 145th St and 168th St so noisy, even with all the construction that's been happening on that line?

What if you ran SAS under Third Avenue in the Bronx up to Tremont Avenue then turn it east under Tremont Park to make it a crosstown to Throggs Neck? Or you can turn it at Fordham and make it a Fordham/Pelham Parkway crosstown to Co-op City.

Wouldn't it be useful to listen to radio chatter to find out about unplanned service changes in advance, or would a simple notification from the MTA website or announcement be sufficient?

Does anyone here have a scanner/listen to NYCT radio transmissions? Cuz if regular railfans have it, then why not MTA railfans?
