  1. Where else are you going to run the ? My main concern is that they want to run near-late night headways on one of the busiest Broadway Locals on a weekend. That’s why I offered 96th St at first, then 21st St (but I forgot the shuttle is going away this weekend), then Queens Plaza (have the go via 63rd St).
  2. And why not cut the between Prospect Park & 96th St/2nd Av while they continue 7th Av’s track work and fit the on 2nd? Solves both issues.
  3. It’s one of their most profitable routes though, why cut it??
  4. https://www.njtransit.com/sixflags it’s confirmed. RIP route 308. You will be missed.
  5. That seems completely unnecessary. Split the by alternating between 96th St and Astoria so everyone isn’t waiting 15 minutes for a train.
  6. Oh, my bad. Someone also said to install fare gates like these along the Atlantic Branch of the LIRR and Melrose & Tremont of MNRR.
  7. The full tall ones? Like the one on the uptown platform at 225th St.
  8. That is what we had in the past, not sure when or why NYCTA transitioned to the fare gates we have now.
  9. From twitter: According to the NYPD, farebeating is the #1 complaint from the riding public. As usual, it’s caused some controversy among elected officials and the comments are mixed reactions. What are your thoughts?
  10. And it has to be at the window, which I always thought was dumb that you couldn't buy it on the app.
  11. Actually, they were fully planning on using those new 500's on the 4C's because they thought the riding public wouldn't care. That was quickly changed the two times a 500 ran on the 4C and the county got over 100 complaints. I also wouldn't count on the 4C going away just yet, the last three times they tried to get rid of it, the public fought to keep it.
  12. Because the entitlement is off the charts. Not to mention those that don't pay, and then openly smoke or vape weed or god knows what else in the back of that bus, and then still have the sense that they are in the right! But i do agree that making the bus system free is not the solution. The same way congestion pricing also isn't the solution, the "congestion" from before the pandemic just isn't there to justify it.
  13. Fairview should just be 90% artics and 10% 40 footers. The ridership signifies that much. Any run that has a cruiser should be done from a depot that can actually handle them, like Meadowlands. I remember I was on the X-board and got assigned a 156 run and it was crushloaded, not to mention the amount of times I had to stop and give change (why Fairview still isn't exact fare is beyond me) had me running 20 minutes behind on every trip. I had a cruiser even though the run called for a 60 footer but we had none available at the time.
  14. Literally 80% of riders went through the back on both the local and the 82SBS, and not a single person tapped from the back door on that 82SBS. I was riding the B3 earlier today (which was crush loaded, only half of the bus actually paid) and those who did pay were either left standing or got left in the bus stop because the bus was full. Am I the only one who finds that completely unfair?
  15. In cases like this where the is effectively split in half, if there are still two crews in Manhattan working the shuttle from 2nd to 96th well after the extended service was suppose to end, do they run back in service or do they deadhead?
  16. I was bus fanning along the B6/B82/82SBS earlier and not a single person in the span of 15 minutes paid the machine for the SBS82. I seriously think the TA needs to temporarily discontinue the B82SBS, convert to front door boarding, or have the eagle team at high usage stops to fine anyone who doesn’t pay. This is crazy.
  17. @Kamen Rider hey, is LES 2nd Av controlled by West 4th tower now, or does someone have to manually go to the tower at 2nd Av to operate the switches?
  18. Does anyone know what some of the highest used ridership stations along are? Since fares are only collected at two stations (when are they gonna put turnstiles in the rest of the system) its impossible to use 's public metric chart to see.
  19. To be honest, yes. I’ve been reading some of these complaints and most of them are basically along the lines of “I’ve been riding this line for x amount of time and don’t want change”.
  20. At this point, they’re spending more money changing each redesign then actually implementing it…
