  1. Long-term, extensions of the have been proposed to create a line via Ogden or University Av... as for how that would tie into the rest of the system, I'm not sure; short term I think Harlem-148 is an OK terminal
  2. Random thought... why does the PA system never work? (or at least, 50% of the time)
  3. I don't know if it's really necessary. You already have 2 services there: the B1 and B49, and it seems like the B44 SBS is suited to a different demographic, and would make the total runtime on the B44 even longer. I think it would just be better to establish a simpler connection between Manhattan Beach and the B44, although that doesn't necessarily mean running 3 services to Manhattan Beach, especially when some residents there don't take the local bus anyway (I'd assume people would walk via Ocean Av Bridge to reach Sheepshead Bay for B44 or B4 > B44, if the B4's headways aren't actually crap)
  4. I'd imagine that there would be two separate SAS services to replace the and respectively via Chrystie and the Bridge
  5. This. I agree it may be useful, but it won't generate so much ridership in comparison with SAS or Utica. I think even the Triboro might be even more useful to pursue first (but maybe I'm biased, who knows). I feel like we all have said the same thing about these sorts of projects millions of times already.
  6. My bad, I specifically meant to say in front of a bus stop (which happens to be next to a bus lane). The B/O got angry and kept beeping but the driver wouldn't listen.
  7. Another day... another entitled Staten Islander who parks in the middle of a bus lane on Hylan... oh, and one of the S79's buses had a broken farebox
  8. Would've just led to even more complaints... I'll give them the benefit of the doubt
  9. Because its the , also because everything is getting redesigned soon anyway
  10. I don't live in the area, would be lucky to take it again within a week
  11. I recently took possibly the last RTS bus out of Ulmer Park that I'll take on the B74...
  12. It's been super delayed at this point... that's why I said in a previous post the stations will open probably never, because that's the state that they look like they're in, lol! It's impossible not to have gotten used to it by now, though. The only thing I hate about it is that it overcrowds the B9.
  13. If I had a dime for the amount of random crap I saw people shoving onto the subway... chairs, metal poles, now this crap...
  14. The only issue I have (and probably most other commuters have) is that there have been recent delays based on signal failures or problems, even on lines that are not slated to get CBTC soon (if you look at the Unplanned Subway Service Changes forum some recent examples that have been brought up are 4 Av, Jerome Av, and West End)
  15. I think everyone forgot what was actually presented to the public. First 5 Years 4, 5, 6 – 149 St-Grand Concourse to Nevins St E, F, M, R – Jamaica 179 St and Jamaica Center Parsons Archer to 50 St F – Church Av to West 8 St NY Aquarium A, C, E – Columbus Circle to Jay St MetroTech G – Court Sq to Hoyt Schermerhorn 7 – Flushing Main St to 34 St-Hudson Yards COMPLETE Next 5 Years 1, 2, 3 – Jackson Av to Atlantic Av – Barclays Ctr B, D, F, M – 59 St Columbus Circle and 21 St Queensbridge to Dekalb Av and Jay St MetroTech A, C – Jay St MetroTech to Ozone Park Lefferts Blvd A, S – Rockaway Blvd to Far Rockaway Mott Av and Rockaway Park Beach 116 St N, Q, R, W – Queensboro Plaza to Dekalb Av In none of this is CPW included, and CBTC on Broadway will be completed at around the same time as 6 Av CBTC. In fact, according to Cuomo, we might even use UWB, and like @VIP said we don't know if this plan will change or not.
  16. The train went from Atlantic to 36 in around 30-40 minutes...
  17. I'd say if anything, the B8's problems should be fixed first, hence the need for a split. My conjecture is that one half of the split can be used to serve the corridors that you are describing, or however you want to slice it, like extending the B67/69... that I'm not sure about.
  18. Just watch at 2x speed and everything will be ok /s
  19. Just in terms of how the service is in general.
