  1. I wanted to confirm, do the R211's have an internal P-wire system or something? I keep seeing it referenced in technical documents.
  2. Is it really necessary to be putting CBTC on the ?
  3. If you have transee premium and look at the history it popped up on the x27 on the southern half of shore road.
  4. 7840 was on the x27 earlier. What is going on? 😂
  5. Or when you broke down and could see how far away the replacement bus was or what type you were getting.
  6. You want to have ANOTHER Queens —> Fordham route?? Where would it even go or end??
  7. Looking at a track map, how hard would it be to extend the north along the Bay Ridge Branch to just around Jackson Heights and build a new tunnel into 74th St, allowing the to become a full loop?
  8. Here's an idea: Extend M track at Marcy Ave to continue onto the bridge tracks, and have express trains skip Marcy Ave. Marcy Ave tends to be a huge bottle neck with slow speeds and it would be better overall to have it skip.
  9. Who are you to be telling members what they can and can not discuss here? For the past month all you’ve done is insert your unwanted two cents into any discussion remotely regarding the R211’s, which last I checked, the R32’s is apart of.
  10. You make me laugh with your comments. Grow up. That’s what I mean in the long run.
  11. Get off your high horse. Your acting like I have nothing better to be doing then wanting for the R32’s to come back.
  12. It's not being wrong, it's being logical. If you didn't work for the TA, and you missed a job interview while waiting for the and later find out it's because the MTA refuses to use old train cars, you wouldn't be upset?
  13. I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with you. The R32's have single handily saved RTO multiple times since the R179's came onto property. The TA should have learned that scrapping cars early before all the replacements were in was a BAD idea. Let's not forget the R44 fiasco. I do understand what your saying, I truly do, but keeping at least 50 ten car trains of R32's on strictly reserve status until all the R211's came in would make sure that passengers aren't getting affected from missing trains and longer headways. If the wasn't suspended on QBL right now it would've been even worse with the car shortage. They managed to run them with switching cabs for 50+ years. They can do it for another 9-10 months, or however long until all the R211's are delivered.
  14. Yes, actually. Had they not been so scrap happy with them, it would have saved the day. Again.
  15. NJT needs to come up with a better way of doing fare payments. There is no reason the driver has to be collecting tickets, especially at Port Authority. I can’t even begin to remember how many times I’ve left PABT late because all I’m doing is taking tickets or helping someone to buy one.
  16. Apparently the R1/9's got taken out of service because of vandalism or brake issues...can't get verification as to which one.
  17. This whole division thing is pointless, especially with control center. I can't tell you how many times I've had issues on the 319 that I let North know, and they don't tell south what's going and I'm getting yelled at from the south control center.
