Lil 57

Think it has to do with the length of the route. The is much longer than the so to better reliability overnight, it runs express so it doesn't have to merge with the and the in Manhattan like it has to do with the in Brooklyn.

According to the Bulletin it says that r211t cars are prohibited from running on the express tracks and if trains must be rerouted onto the express tracks in case of a service change they must discharge passengers and run NIS. Why is that?

Service to Coney Island has been restored with trains using the SB track in both directions.

Won’t be surprised if the goes into another state of emergency.

service is suspended between Huguenot and Tottenville in both directions because of flooding. Alternatives Limited free shuttle bus service is running between those stations. Also, consider taking these nearby bus routes: For service to/from ‌Tottenville‌, take S59 (which also stop at ‌Eltingville‌) or S78 buses (which also stop at ‌St George‌). For service to/from ‌Pleasant Plains‌ and ‌Prince's Bay, take S55 buses (which also stop at ‌Huguenot). Posted: Tue, Jan 09 2024 23:44 Funny this is that the S55 doesn’t run at all at this hour and the S59 stopped running to Tottenville several hours ago.

The service alerts are saying that service is still suspended for the rest of the day at least.

As of 9:20 AM all buses running on the S56 are express buses.

8183 was just involved in an accident on the S78. Drove past it and it seemed like a car hit the side of the bus.

2722 has version 2 now

Most likely scrapped due to its age. If the car was younger and not part of a fleet that is in the process of retirement it would most likely be renumbered and returned to service after any repairs if necessary.

Looks like they finally moved the 9:01pm S61 trip to 9:30pm on Sunday, extending the span towards the mall by 30 minutes.

You may wait longer for an train in both directions. We're running fewer trains because non-MTA agency is conducting work near Jamaica-179 St that is delaying our crews when they turn trains around at that station. Is it just me or does it sound like that non-MTA agency shouldn’t be in the station (unless it’s some sort of field work)? Also it seems like trains are running every 15 minutes at the moment due to this.

I always find it ironic when a transit company has ads for another mode of transport like Uber or even car ads. My college town has buses fully wrapped advertising a dealership for example. I know that the gets paid for these ads but it’s funny to think that the ad is indirectly saying, “Don’t take this train, take an Uber instead”.

In Chicago right now and noticed that the CTA turnstiles are exactly the same as the ones (save fare payment system). Were they made at the same time or as a dual order.

The crews don’t want to get qualified on them. Gonna be a lot of union negotiations before qualifications speed up. But at some point it’s gonna be either get qualified or leave. The r46s need to be replaced ASAP.
