  1. The sign for the B67 and B69 at 7th Ave/Flatbush has been OOS for months. I guess they gave up on it because eventually they installed the schedule back on the pole.
  2. - This train should've been announced as a via the to 36th Street and then via the to Coney Island. - It's impossible for a train on the express track going to CI to stop at Bay 50th without being on the wrong side the rest of the way.
  3. I was unable to get one. If I see this train again I will make sure to get one.
  4. There's an combined R68/R68A set on the right now.
  5. I've noticed this only on my cell phone. I haven't noticed this on desktop.
  6. All those routes cross bridges without bike paths.
  7. Prospect Park to Brighton Beach in 15 minutes on Brighton express is normal. The only timers between the two locations are north of Kings Highway on the SB express track. The Q with R160s only takes slightly more time, but that's mainly because it makes more stops.
  8. The plan is to use the existing tunnel for Phase 2. IIRC 125th Street is supposed to have three tracks.
  9. I didn't consider that it could happen until I saw it. Is this a regular occurrence that I just never noticed?
  10. There's somebody panhandling on the Staten Island Ferry right now.
  11. The answer is on the previous page. Only thing needed is burn-in testing.
  12. Southbound trains slow down before Kings Highway, but the doesn't.
  13. I guess this has something to do with the slow speeds for southbound trains near Prospect Park for the past couple of weeks due to work in the area. The Service Alerts said they were supposed to end on Friday.
  14. The closest thing to GPS tracking it has is the Transit app, but that only shows where the bus should be based on the schedule.
  15. It's interesting how the station name signs are incorporated into the tiles. Also, the underpass at the north end of the station had a very unusual slightly clean smell.
  16. I saw 1086 heading south on the BQE near Red Hook at 4:30 PM.
  17. There are a number of places where adjacent infrastructure limits station length to 480 feet, like Essex Street, Chambers Street, or Broadway Junction, for example. There are other places where stations would end up too close together. At Marcy Avenue due to the curve to the WBB the station an extension would have to be built to the east, and the station would get too close to Hewes Street. Of course in that case Hewes Street would likely have to close, and maybe a new Union Avenue station could be built to transfer to the .
