Bay Ridge Express

Eh, I'd say the latter is priority #1, but they also rant about the models here and there... Most people I know prefer NTTs, or as they call them, "those new trains with LEDs."

Posted 2 days ago? That's how you know they really wanna spread anti-Cuomo sentiments.

Right, that was the point of said proposal, that not everything in Lower Manhattan needs to run within a block of each other anymore.

In many areas of the city, especially Downtown Brooklyn/Lower Manhattan, some subway lines are extremely close together as a result of their origins. So, an idea that I had was, in a consolidated system (aka the )--what if, some sections of some lines that are too close to another line were terminated in order to focus on building projects in outer areas, or streets that are not so close to each other? E.g. in Lower Manhattan btwn Broad and Kenmare the (), (), and are all pretty close to each other. So, for example, what if the rerouted from Lower Manhattan and went northbound on 2 Av instead, or southbound via Chrystie and Park Row like the proposed would? (They could also be part of the 's route, idk). Ofc, I understand that sometimes bc of population density it is good for multiple routes to be part of the same area (e.g. and , and proposed Northern Blvd line) though I think that there is an excess in some areas of Lower Manhattan in particular, esp since subway service there is typically just a block away from another.

I don't know what exactly you're banking on, but of course things like voter suppression, gerrymandering, propaganda, the size of states relative to their population, and the electoral college are designed to give Democrats unfavorableness in Congress, whether you agree with them or not.

Turns out... >People hated Trump so much that the GOP lost the House, Senate, and WH >Yang is now running for NYC mayor and has a big chance at winning

Sounds like she discovered how to levitate.

Btw, was the SIR just running normally today? Nothing was posted on the website.

Welp, you got a 4 out of 8. In some contexts, that's considered passing.

Whelp, deBlasio just issued his order...

I think that for the most part, the roads will be fine. Cars drive on them all the time and clear the snow.

They really only did that because of the Post? Man, you really can't get the to do anything without making it cost billions of dollars.

I highly doubt Hawkins would want to primary with a D affiliation. Well, that's certainly a contradiction. You say you vote based on the candidate, yet you wouldn't want to vote for any potential progressive that isn't deBlasio. Not saying you should, just pointing that out. The GOP wasn't always the crazy party it is today (at least, in terms of conspiracy theories and supporting insurrectionists), but alas... I don't really support Dems either. To me, it's like eating popcorn and watching the fight all play out. As long as the country (and state) is divided, we won't get anywhere, whether it's right or left...

Time to cancel that book.

That's totally fine. I was thinking of the big 2 Av stations in place while writing this.

There is a shopping center on the other side of the street at Avenue Y, but I agree with you. A stop at Avenue X with an Avenue Y exit would suffice.

What's so particularly bad about that? Though I do think that if something like that were to extend to 14 St, it should have a connection with the .

The is already a very long route, and having the be express in Brooklyn and local and local in Manhattan and express would confuse riders. I say, we don't need the upper level. There is the train 700 feet with a transfer at the next stop in case one wants to go uptown via CPW. There is also the option of reconstructing the station to make it an express station and/or potentially have trains run on the upper level instead of lower (as a last resort since this may perhaps be quite pricey).

Thank you. Lots and lots of misinformation floating around... and on Citizen, they've been pushing the narrative "from MTA officials" that he refused the drug test... Just give it time. We don't know what happened yet. On top of that, there's calls to sue the MTA (despite what simply appears to be a brake failure [not confirmed btw] Who knows, MTA officials might "investigate" and simply blame the driver to avoid whatever crap they'd have to deal with otherwise).

Already seen it on day two.

Hopefully, with the help of COVID aid/additional funding under this new federal administration the projects can actually be completed this time.

I think the whole concept of the B15 (a Bed-Stuy to airport route serving ENY) is pretty weird in the first place. I'd expect ppl to be taking an airport bus to/from hubs, like Downtown Bklyn and whatnot. But I also practically never use the route so if anyone would like to explain that, please do.

Beautiful! I especially like the second picture--it portrays the beauty of the Brighton Line well.

There is no demand for that. Not only would there be an extensive amount of backtracking to get to the B83 route in the first place (backtracking btwn E 98 St + Van Siclen Av), most of the route would be redundant if it would be overlapping with the B6. Only way I could see it maybe working is if it was a limited service, but even then, going from Bed-Stuy to Bensonhurst via the B83 and B6 routes would definitely not be the fastest way and (depending on the route's frequency) the overlapping bus routes would overshadow the demand for such a route.
