  1. So.. there's less than 100 Orion IV Second Gen buses and about 550+ Next Gen And about 210+ old Gen express buses.
  2. How much do you think it will cost and how much time would it take if the MTA opened up the 95th street wall to have trains be able to cross over past the station? Do you think the MTA would ever look into this so to increase frequencies. Only bringing it up because the MTA announced today that they will increase R frequencies to 8 minutes during Mid-day.
  3. I must of wrote it in the wrong thread by accident. My bad.
  4. Why would opening up 95th street for crossovers affect lower Manhattan?

  6. What is the status of CBTC on QB? How much (%) is finished local and express tracks? Also east of Kew Gardens..?
  7. I was under the assumption that it past the first 30 day test since they didn't take it put of service during the first 30 day revenue service.
  8. What's going on with the 211s? They has power issues after the 30 day test? Does that mean they will have to do the test again?
  9. Neither are any IND south of 59th street.. IRT has the best express in Central Manhattan then BMT Broadway.
  10. Glenwood Rd by Flatbush Ave is not very busy until you get on to Flatbush Ave. I am aware that East of Flatbush Ave is very bust but maybe have a small number of short turns at Glenwood Rd because it's severely packed going towards 86th Street.
  11. Then why can't they short stop busses at Flatbush Ave the same way they short stop south bound B6 busses at C.I Avenue?
  12. Why can't Ulmer Park send in more B6 busses to pick up the clogged up amount of Midwood H.S students going towards Bensonhurst 86th Street?
  13. Do you know the name of the group? I wanna join.
  14. I'm thinking the MTA will send a second option order of R211s to replace the R68 fleet because the R68s are a small fleet, They are approaching 35/40 years old They're 75ft And there will be problems with sign switching at Astoria for N/W trains.
  15. It's predicted that BMT South line's won't get the R211s except for the
  16. I don't understand what's going on.. how are they experiencing issues? Is it cubits fault? Still no access a ride OMNY either..
  17. The BMT is truly the MTA step child sadly smh..
  18. I don't understand. What is stopping the MTA from turning on the rear door OMNY readers!? People enter throught the back anyway and especially when the bus is late or packed.. Atleast with the OMNY readers turned on in the rear, there will be more of a chance that people will use it..
  19. He came back a couple of months ago, he left London to stay with his family in the states
  20. Did anyone see this? What is this telling? Will Byford by back in NY? With the MTA to finish his unfinished work?
  21. Not many people will get this reference. You're a real one.
  22. Yes exactly! It should be one corner seat removed per car! Not 2 or 4
  23. I know we need to make trains accessible, but seriously.. when is the last time you've seen someone with a wheelchair or walker on the train? Most of the time I see them on the bus or access a ride.. I think all this extra accessibility is overkill..
