The benches are useful when the train is late or operates on low tph routes, and one simply doesn't have the stamina to stand (especially the disabled). It's quite a shame most of them are dirty, though I will say, the seats on the trains themselves are typically on a whole other level of disgusting. Found it even worse when they add leaning benches into the system. IMO it detriments riders, and has little impact on the homeless, total miss...

Certainly is a decent way of expanding the on the west side and linking that developing area up to the rest of the subway network. If the costs can be slimmed on such a project (considering how pricey 34 St was), I don't see why not. Pretty much, that area is fine surviving without the subway. Unless it suddenly became populated, I'd see no use in carrying the line that far down anyways . I had to do a double take when I saw that plan. I'm not sure if the population up there uses the subway frequently, but it's still a better use of funds carrying the line to LGA regardless, more useful to more people. I seriously see no reason for carrying the line in that direction, besides possibly extending it further to Randall's Island, helps take some crazies off the M35, lol...

I actually learned what it was a few days ago. The Luminator Titan is a bus sign produced by Luminator. Extra info: It's a 24x200 display for the front rollsign (16x120 for the side rollsign), so it's pretty detailed. It used to be marketed and sold as the Titan (hence the TITAN in the video), but later on, it became marketed under the Luminator Horizon name. I'm not exactly sure why that change was made though.

I have no words, that is terrifying. Thankfully the B/O (and everyone else) is alive. I do wonder how the bus will be removed from the overhang, now that I think about it, that task to me seems possibly dangerous...

Yeah, I remember that tweet. To this day, I don't know why I supported it back in 2019. Trump helping finish phase 2 of SAS would be rarer than getting struck by lightning for sure, he'd have no benefit in it besides it being a political stunt (and a tiny one at that). Besides me, he fooled nearly no one with that tweet, I believe Cuomo short after tweeted he had no idea what Trump was saying in regards to SAS. Probably just laughed it off for all I care.

I honestly forgot the Cedarhurst Q111 even existed until recently, never seen it all the times I've been driven down Peninsula. I thought it ran more often actually, just one a day SB and NB is basically nothing and the route probably won't even touch Nassau in due time. Kinda sad though since I haven't been able to find any video of the route on Cedarhurst over all these years. I do understand the waiting around fear, especially SB on the 111 since there's a stop light and store at the end of the route which plenty of cars stop at. But NB near the first few houses (next to the red gas station), most drivers are moving and likely care less about someone waiting for a bus, the area is pretty dead pedestrian wise beyond the cars tbh.

Never say never man, a northern extension to Jamaica would literally make foamers go wild.

Many R46's are now assigned to a yard that doesn't typically operate them, and the above comments on spare factor also apply. These are older trains and making them run well takes time and some experience. R46's on broadway will likely fail less with time and experience. Also, R46's on the were not flawless either, they broke down decently often as well when they dominated the line.

Penn station and all its underground lines are still standing ever since it was built, but the above ground head-house structure was demolished in the 60's and Penn Station became mostly underground after renovations were made.

The vast majority of businesses go out under those two situations, especially the first one, bad planning kills a surprising number of them even if they have extensive funding. I'm a novice here, I know almost nothing about filing the IRS at this stage (considering most of my income is low and filed on my parents account), but Garibaldi's advice seems good to me. Definitely ask a preparer if you have one. I'm not sure if the IRS lets you put no revenue or assets as an option, but that seems like the safest bet to me if you are truly worried, and there is no money behind the place. And yeah, I don't get good vibes from that startup you're at either, everything said makes it seem shaky at best to me...

Hard to believe this last ran 10 years ago, the pre-renovated elevated stations and Coke window ads make this feel even older. My recollections of this model are faint to say the least, but great video nonetheless!

1. By time (and likely distance): The Q35 when I rode it from Brooklyn College to 116th in Rockaway, the ride typically took me around 30-50 minutes to complete. Though last year on one instance, it took over 2 hours. Traffic near the Aviators had the bus completely stalled for nearly an hour, and the rest of the trip was sluggish to go along with that. 2. Most amount is six. It was the to Franklin to to (which ended at Broad Channel due to issues at South Channel) to Q53+ to Q22

Here's a readable version of that message: https://www.reddit.com/r/nycrail/comments/g7rc8p/r32_officially_retired_i_always_hated_seeing_one/ I personally am glad the R32's will meet their end now, since ridership has declined, the R179's have been getting more reliable and R211's will be rolling through city tunnels in just a couple of years. R32's will be missed, but times must go on; and I imagine the agency would be relieved at not having to maintain them ever again (at least for revenue service).

No The was rerouted to the Lexington and the ran on the line to 137th street from 96th street I believe. With every regular stop after 96th street being served by shuttle buses. 86th and 96th street were also closed briefly for FDNY investigation https://mymtaalerts.com/m?D8D32

Possibly, I feel the picture would not have been taken if they did know about it, and I do also feel it should be removed. Putting that aside, the T/O's response in such a tragedy must be commended, he helped out even at a time when less and less people are riding the system. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family, as well as the people affected. @B35 via Church Me and my AP Physics teacher actually talked about the possibility of the system getting shut down (when talking about the coronavirus, before it closed schools), we both agreed it's basically impossible. The public would want the system shut down, without considering the people and workers it still continues to serve. People are instinctively anti-subway when tragedy hits, and it's usually not necessitated.

With the AP classes and extracurriculars I'm in, I could never! 🤣 The is a very excellent route for fan railing, right next to the bay and also traversing many different station types and surroundings.It's also where the R40's retired around 10 years ago, so it'll be nice for many to relive those times. The current reality of the MTA hasn't been met with mass fortunes or plain stability as it had in the past, I expect the NTT generation of cars to outlive the R32's if the agency doesn't get itself together.

You win by not playing, because when you play, you’ll never win...

They basically do the same thing, use whichever one you like. He definitely did in many ways, he flipped the state of Toronto’s transit system so I had no doubt he would do good for us. I do hope the gets better from here, at its current state though, that sounds like a hilarious thing to say.

Everyone I know has been freaking out over the possible removal of the Q53 for a few days, and rightly so. The Q53 easily beats out the Rockaway in ridership and usually time during peak hours and properly serves the area. Keeping the 52, when riders in that area have the and Q22 (soon QT22) and prefer to use that, seems like an arrogant move to those on the west side, and those needing to go to work and schools in it. Reinstating the 53 in the summer is nothing but damage control. A lot of people going into the peninsula will clog westward 22's once they reach the Beach 90's, and the problem will get worse for new riders when it has delays, or the bridge goes up. Any way the slices it, they'll have a huge opposition with this plan, and I wouldn't be surprised if they scrapped it immediately, hopefully eventually...

The is a public agency and it cannot go explicitly bankrupt in NYS. They would be well underfunded and changes within the agency would have to occur, but they cannot file for Chapter 7 or 11.

Nice...

Not at all, the extra MTAPD forces are intended to combat farebeating and homeless troubles to my knowledge in certain stations. They pretty much serve as assistance to the NYPD.

There is no service in both directions between Broad Channel and Far Rockaway Mott Av because a customer was struck by a train at Beach 25 St. Use the Q22 or Q52 as ’s will run to 116, the LIRR will accommodate metrocard holders as well at Far Rockaway LIRR station. — Beach 25st seems to be a hotspot for these incidents in the past decade.

Correct, (for wally) It lies on the former Rockaway Beach Branch track, but it never served any LIRR trains to my knowledge as it was built and opened alongside the racetracks renovation (around 1959). Which was after the LIRR line closed. Map below was before the RBB closed i believe. The MTA is the one to blame for not making the racetrack stop southbound after it was built, as they rejected the proposal to do so earlier in the decade.

Haven't met anyone, but I saw @Around the Horn in early July taking photos of an R179 at Mott Av. (was when my profile picture was taken). I didn't realize it was him shooting the photos until now when I looked through his flikr and saw the photos were dated the same. Wish I'd known sooner, small world...
