LGA Link N Train

(A-hem) ...... Chambers Street

yeah, and on nights and weekends you're better off sending trains to Chambers Street

Well, if you look back in 1968, the has been trying to reactivate RBB but as LIRR service. This was unsuccessful party due to the fiscal crash of the 1970's. The rest I'm unsure about. Comparing transit projects against one another ain't no way to evaluate transit expansion son.

Simple answer to the article. No, spend money on more useful things

i foresaw that in a dream once

Now seeing the constructive arguments that are occuring in this thread, might as well have my take on it. 1) the Q52 and Q53 buses have not caused much improvement in my opinion. I do sometimes use Woodhaven whenever I'm trying to go to school or back (I'm usually driven by my parents or some other relative so I never taken the buses on Woodhaven before) and buses aren't as frequent despite the amount of buses that serve these particular area's so I agree with @Coney Island Av here. The area is actually dense enough to justify RBB. I'd suggest building a bus hub right outside Woodhaven and Queens Blvd's (which I'll discuss some other day) and do borough integraion between bus routes of different boroughs. Example B46+M14D. 2) While overcrowding is an issue I face every day (whether it be Roosevelt or Sutphin. And what not) MANY OF YOU ARE DISREGARDING WHAT @Coney Island Av Said about projects being done in conjunction with RBB. Yeah you may talk about Woodhaven being express and dwell tines becoming absolute crap at that station, but did all of you forget about the Queens Bypass? The one project that will effectively reduce crowding on the and ? Apparently so. and @RR503 I see what you mean about Roosevelt in a morning rush. It's a living hell on ALL platforms. I almost can't even railfan there. And I barely use that part of QBL anymore. Maybe if we lived in a fantasy world where people wouldn't flock for expresses then maybe we'd be in a better position. 3) the the . Where do I begin here. As someone who uses the it's actually not as bad as other lines. But it's not frequent. And I'm not expecting it to be either. If Greenpoint and LIC are going through some nice development, then it'd be no suprise if service increases. The is not useless, it just needs to be a better feeder line. Then it can rejoin QBL. 4) I agree that this line is a crucial crosstown. That's why we must start thinking 100 years into the future. Yes, there are Denser corridors, yes theyll get more ridership, but we have a rare opportunity to start working with this abandoned railroad. If we utilize this now and plan it right, then we could have a line that will be beneficial and that will act as a supplement to the infrequent train. And the fellow buses nearby. We don't need to extend the to Lefferts (or at least not until SAS arrives to Fulton) 5) @Coney Island Av already stated that Busways, LRT's and even the LIRR are Not feasible, and it's no wonder why. I was on twitter the other day and @vanshnookenraggen was making good claims towards why RBB should be subway. "I totally realize that asking people to transfer at Woodhaven goes against everything I've been arguing BUT the point is it wouldn't force anyone to transfer and would reduce crowding at Roosevelt." "Futhermore, with CBTC there will be more express service on QB so service east of FH will be added to handle the load." I'm not gonna quote everything he said cause that's too much 6) Dyre Ave. As @Trainmaster5 stated, is a different corridor and no 2 railroads are the same. RBB if built would have a different kind of success in my opinion. Welp, this is just my take. RBB is not a selfish project whatsoever and Forest Hills is one of the worst terminals that I have ever experienced. This is just my take on the whole argument

My apologies

Here's something I downloaded off of a subway weekender website (I believe it's called https://subwayweekender.wordpress.com/ ) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DY206WnlfSFuf0XPje6u-hF2KuXuVAaY/view?usp=drivesdk

The only people on here I have met in person. @bulk88 I met at a TransportationCamp event @justhafacts who encouraged me to join these forums. @MTA Rail Fan who is one of my friends from school and says he knows @Dj Hammers

A somewhat Funny video I found yesterday

I know that. That's why I kept them in this list.

Woodhaven REALLY needs to be an express station though. It's a Really good place and a dense area as well. But something I'm trying to figure out is. If RBB was built, how would QBL G.O.'s affect it since my home stop is 63 Drive - Rego Park. Would the whole line 1) be decommissioned during certain G.O.'s 2) need a new switch in advance of these G.O.'so 3) Would that tunnel section need to be reworked 4) would the tracks and signals of 63 Drive need to be in mint condition

I Caught both sets today This morning, 179 #3061-3058,3090-3093 rolled in as a but it was actually a . During the ride between Sutphin and 121, the train was like "This is, Kosciusko Street" later I heard the conductor say "What?" on the loudspeaker. Then by the time it reached 75 St-Elders lane, the announcements regained consciousness. After some time I got off Norwood and headed to school. On my way back from school. 179 #3069-3062 came along on the . The announcement was like, this is a Queens bound train. I was like ....what, but I didn't care too much cause I just wanted to head straight home

LOL. That's cause they had Bryford. I actually have to agree with this. I do think that (as a QBL rider) Queens Blvd should be fixed up. As well as Hoyt. The Southern Division starting with Dekalb (and by that I mean 4 Av and Brighton.) 8 Av could also use some fixing. For 207 yard as someone mentioned earlier, is there a way to expand it so it can handle 600' trains or is that not feasible? Broadway DEFINITELY needs fixing and anyone proposing the up SAS, the signals up there in my opinion should be built to handle 3 services on one track. However, local trains would be VERY unpopular with riders. So as an train rider, leave it alone. And let's make the a full time service or put a late night shuttle or have the via 63 on weekends.

Alright, not bad. Not bad at al- What happens to the 50 St upper level under this proposal?

Not to be rude or anything but a express is NOT FEASIBLE. It would have to be a peak express service from Broadway Junction to Marcy Avenue. Oh and you're gonna need this http://www.vanshnookenraggen.com/_index/2017/05/a-complete-and-geographically-accurate-nyc-subway-track-map/ There should be a downloadable link.

I'm not going to. Besides, I lost my wikipedia account before I could even use it

Well then, thats a coincidence

Here's an updated list from Wikipedia As of currently (for those of you who don't check wikipedia) we have 54 cars i believe.

This thread is close to having 40 LMAO's. In all seriousness though. That extension is not feasible, why not try improving bus service instead?

Lol

I see the runs a peak service in this map. But make it skip stop east of the junction or you'll ruin frequencies The and should be stopping together between Euclid Av and Rockaway Blvd. Since only the 2 local tracks can be used. The middle track is relay only. @NoHacksJustKhaks your response was funny as s*** Last but not least where's phase 2 of SAS.

Welp, I see that this forum hasn't been touched in ages. . And I thought 10 to 20 times before making a topic in this forum. But here I go. Student Metrocards. Some of us love 'em and some of us hate 'em. Here is a discussion just for these metrocards only.

This thread probably had the most LMAO's I've ever seen

I've been noticing that the Cuomo'so are making a comeback on the lately. Today I saw 2 sets (riding one right now). . I feel that they would be truly useful it the seats on the far ends were flip seats. Other than that I like riding the Cuomo R160's regardless.
