For Phase 2 of Penn Access, I propose having the former Domino sugar track rebuilt, with Riverdale & Ludlow’s southbound platforms rebuilt into island platforms, and Yonkers having new switches to allow it to be used as a terminal.
Fairview makes no dam sense to begin with. It’s a full service depot, everyone is running late because they have to keep making change for a $1.50 fare, and the MCI’s are just the icing on the cake. I wouldn’t mind the MCI’s on the X variations, but on local routes is insanity.
Can we talk about the safety standpoint of this for a second?
I watched both POV videos, and again the R46’s continue to be an issue that customers can not flee a car with a problem in situations like this. I think a later photo I saw one car with the blue light on indicating the end door was unlocked. Especially if your several cars away from the conductor, how are any of them suppose to know there’s an emergency to unlock the end doors?
Ordering four car R179’s was absolutely unnecessary in the first place (except the ones for ENY). If the plan was to always have the become full length, why order four car sets in the first place?
Now you have this mess of fleet uniformity because the has always been the oddball of 8th Ave. Sure the R211’s will sort of fix the problem, but where will you send the four car R179’s?
@Kamen Rider @RTOMan hey, just curious, how does transit navigate day light savings time in both instances when a train is scheduled to depart at 2 AM?
Repeat that last part? 😳
I also highly suggest that you guys bring Clorox wipes with you if you plan on sitting down on the trains or the local buses. I’ve seen some nasty stuff out here 🤢
It's become culture. "Screw the and your $2.90!". The same person a month later when service cuts because of no fare: "Screw the and your $2.90!" and it goes on, and on, and on...
So Far Rockaway has been having switch and signal problems, it’s broke at least 4 times in the past 30 hours. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see an emergency G.O this weekend.
Sorry to dig this up, but is there a way to restructure or have a new bus route serve Carlsdat? I feel like the 772 is pointless over there but the 703 span is also all over the place.
