R68OnBroadway

The only way to build a practical subway line to SI would be to extend Broadway or Nassau to St. George, and that would be unbelievably expensive. The ferry is the best there is.

No need to put the 32s on the . This is just to get pics of 32s on SAS.

There is no need to put a crew there. The is just not suitable for the R32. R32s will not go up SAS except for museum and work runs as if 6th Av closes, there is no choice but to send them down Broadway, and since 6th is closed, the south side of the bridge will be packed with trains into Manhattan, crippling the Southern Division (minus the ) as well as the regular crowd of s and s.

Probably SMS. If not, it's part of Cuomo's crap agenda which also includes turning Penn into a mall and painting R160s into daycare centers.

It could be because Greenpoint was rebuilt in the same way as Montague.

Assuming that about 100 R32s will be left if the R179s stick to schedule (this is a dream world), I would assign 16 cars to the RPK (3 with a backup at RPK yard), 82 to the (8-car sets), and possibly keep a Phase I set for the NYTM (if not, I would assign it to the RPK shuttle). I would still keep 40 R68s (8-car now) on the , which will lead to a frequency of 15 TPH and increase capacity. Extra 68s can be sent to the and for increased service. RPK R46s could go to the to increase frequency.

They better be. They should have a backup system that can take over during scenarios such as: 1. CBTC failure 2. Work car and intra-division movements 3. During operation of museum trains

As for the CBTC-museum train fiasco, trips usually run weekends, so they can use the express track. As for areas west of Rawson, they can just keep the fixed block signalling infrastructure in place as a back-up if CBTC fails, and if it is kept in sync with CBTC, older trains can operate. They could also just switch off CBTC that day as operators are usually in the cab anyways.

It always seems as if the MTA takes great contractors for smaller projects, like here, but they still go crappy ones with SAS and others.

The would lose its yard, and having trains on different lines at different times of week wouldn't be too great. If I were to restructure QBL, I would do it this way. operates as normal. via 53rd rather than 63rd weekdays only (except late nights), this is to take pressure off the . operates as normal. operates via 63rd now. Weekends and late nights the will take over for 63rd. While some riders find this confusing, they did something like this back before the connector opened, where the would go to Queensbridge on weekends and the on weekdays. If people are too confused still, they can just take the tram or walk to 36th if they can't get that the replaces the outside of weekdays.

I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to hold the Fresh Pond R42s until the L shutdown is complete. They would probably retire 4 sets, keep 1 in storage, and have another as an emergency put-in.

Just a question on the remaining 42s: Do you think they might become better performers if they are sent to CI or Pitkin? ENY seems to favor the 32s, 207 treats their grass better than their cars, and Jamaica decimated their 42s back in the 2000s.

He is in traffic, so that is less of an issue...

The R62s spent six months in testing

I'll be fine if they die on a quiet line, like the , , or . If the MTA decides to have a ceremonious final run though, it should be on the as that was the line it first ran on.

If sea beach doesn't like it, it is only one set so they can wait for the next train. What I am saying is that some 32s should be put on the or (preferably ) if extra service is needed on those lines.

Send it down to Whitehall or Canal, then flip it to a , or run it light up Broadway to some storage area. If Jamaica is not 100% CBTC ready by the time the R179s have replaced half of the R32s, it would best to put them on the or as the riders aren't like the riders, and the can worry less about the rollsign as it is a flipdot, and no commuter will usually look at the side signs. Plus, I have seen 46s without rollsigns on the , and the MTA once put an R44 on the with a piece of paper with a marker "A" on it as it was missing its rollsign. (this was from some photo on nycsubway.org)

They could put one on the then as an extra during rush hour, that way riders can't complain as much. The would be less effective as Cuomo does not want "rickety old R32s" on his "precious" Second Avenue line.

Do you mean mechanically or as in the riders will go crazy?

Can you also fix the 10:30am to be 10:30pm? (Sorry If I seem too pushy.)

Not to be rude, but you wrote "take to " instead of "take to" on the sign, so can you fix that if possible?

Those are some of the cleanest buses that I have ever seen.

Hi! I would like a sign. 96th St & 2nd Av To Ocean Pkwy all times. Via Broadway Exp/Brighton Lcl Late nights local in Manhattan, skipping 49th St To Canarsie-Rockaway Pkwy. Via 6th Av/Jamaica Exp/Canarsie Weekdays 5:30 am-10:30 pm Weekends/nights take to Union Sq for

Why bother with the when you have the ? Rerouting the would be terrible. This would require sending it via 53rd, effectively cutting off most of Midtown, and that line would empty. This would put more pressure on the and and strip local Bronx and Manhattan riders of their one-seat ride to Midtown and Brooklyn. Sending the down Brighton will piss off the East Asian community in Bensonhurst as you killed their one-seat ride to Grand Street. The is a local in Manhattan, and its longer travel time to Manhattan will overcrowd the . Plus, with the now on Brighton you have to operate an extra service on late nights and weekends, which is why the and swapped in 2004. Would it really hurt to to introduce a new service?
