Do you know if any progress has been made here?
Yes! The entrances on the northeast corner of Lex and 86th seem much more permanent now, and the elevator is in the shaft and looks to be ready for service, with full signage on the elevator. I'll grab a pic the next time I have the chance; I thought of it the other day but sadly didn't.

If you look through their Tweets & Replies, they're pretty on top of responding to people. It's pretty great:

Last night I was able to enjoy a little bit of the variety of the IND 8th Avenue Line at Chambers Street. Enjoy!

I believe they're completing these renovations in both directions at once going forward to avoid the excessive lengths of time needed at one particular station.
So then I'd assume it'd function like ESI, right? Simply close it to traffic for six months or so and then reopen the fully rehabbed station once it's complete.

This isn't even someone being a slob or just homelessness: this is someone who is mentally ill. Most of the homeless are in shelters and you would not be able to tell them apart from any other person on the street.

Regarding the actual work to be done, hopefully they find a way to minimize the amount of line closures necessary for these. I'm sure Jamaica riders would really like to see weekend service beyond Crescent St and Broadway Junction at least once this year.
Might they do a single platform at a time? I remember riding the in August and seeing a few Jamaica-bound platforms basically stripped down to the steel frames, with trains obviously bypassing the station. The Manhattan/Brooklyn-bound platforms had clearly received their rehabs already. Here's what it looked like:

The only way I see it is to ban marine traffic during rush hours, because if that bridge opens and gets stuck open, whoever is on board a train that's not near a station will remain there for a while.
Didn't they manage to do that recently for the Portal Bridge (ban rush hour traffic)

I spent some time at Grand Central this evening on the Flushing Line platform. Enjoy!

Also, who in the MTA is going to pay for these cars?
It was revealed in the slides of the Fast Forward Plan. I'm sure the order will be part of a future capital budget. Of all the consistencies within the MTA, I think car orders are relatively straightforwards in terms of planning and timelines

It’s been put out there that the R179s are still experiencing problems. Can anyone shed light on what these issues may be?
Welding defects in the collision columns, but I believe Byford said they're not impactful to the structural integrity or strength of the cars (so it won't require some massive sidelining of the fleet)

There are enough 179s in service to make the full length at this point; they are having some issues, but not to the extent (I believe) that they cannot make service.
The weld defects in the collision columns are not anything that impact the structural integrity or strength of the R179s, right? At least that's what I saw online about that latest problem

Yesterday I took some nice photos when I went along the to check out ATO with my friend. Hope you all enjoy!

Maybe they're testing the set out there to see how well it can handle under primary Rockaway Power.
Haven't the power issues in the Rockaways been fixed for ages?

Yesterday I was able to catch some great action at 90 St-Elmhurst Av. Enjoy!

Why would you waste your highest performance equipment on a short, infrequent set of runs? Them wanting them there this weekend shouldn't be taken as being indicative of them wanting them there in the long run.
My guess would these past two weekends have not been indicative of the R179s being put on the Shuttle, but rather as a test of performance. How do they hold up being a weekend away from Pitkin, etc.

Enjoy this speedy ride on the , taken shortly after ATO began on all trips on the Flushing Line. I also just so happened to be on 7550, which is the R188 with a very nice howling motor. Enjoy!

I found myself near the Kawasaki plant in Yonkers today, and I saw quite a few M9s sitting around!

So: after riding the , the first thing I noticed was areas like the curve into Queensboro had the clear sign of ATO: constant small throttle applications to maintain a speed. I could clearly see ATO active on the screens, but overall everything seemed very smooth. I mostly noticed expresses were incredibly consistent between Woodside and Junction Blvd. Watching them pass 90th Street, they all seemed to be hitting their target speeds of 50 MPH and holding there, whereas before depending on the operator you could have trains running between 40-50 MPH.

No no, no worries! I love a good discussion on schedules lol
On the topic before about the curves and whatnot for acceleration, I'm heading to the as soon as I post this, so I'll be able to report back later if anything feels noticeably different. I'll also try and get a glimpse of the CBTC screens to indeed confirm that they're running in ATO.

OMNY Implementation/Metro-Card Retirement Discussion Thread
in New York City Subway

That's what someone said. They said likely was 42XX, and I saw a photo of mine had 53, so likely 4253 (if that's an Orion VII NG)
It wouldn't surprise me if they promise OMNY limited to Staten and the Lexington Line from GCT to Barclays for the very beginning launch, but it quickly expands to other buses and subway regions
