Maybe donate it to Transit Tech. With the R42s all but retired, they could replace one of the R42s at the school with this R211 mock-up. Not sure what would replace the other R42, though with the R62s and R68s sticking around for the foreseeable future, perhaps it would be good for the school to have one SMEE-generation car and one New Tech-era car. 

bad ass school 😂

They have it on the 2 and 5 lines. 

Not the A route , the A cars like the head of the train , the one with the cab/controls

It seems like most of the ENY NTT trains now have the new ILOVENY ad on the second and third(or sixth and seventh) car.

How come they don’t put ads on the A cars ?

Couldn’t they just deinterline the entirety of 8 Avenue all the way up Central Park West? It should make the service faster after accounting for confused riders at the express stops. Having the and cross each other’s paths north of 145 Street is just stupid. Did nobody in operations foresee delays attributed to that alone?

I thought they were on 2 different levels at 145th 🤨

Even so it's a policy to not have two lines share names... (of course since it's the MTA, they break their own style guide rules all the time)

This is the same reason why the is called the "Broadway-7th Avenue Local" and the are the "7th Avenue Express"

Officially the is the "Nassau Street-Jamaica Line" and the Jamaica Line hasn't been called the Broadway Brooklyn line since 1976.

It should have been “BWAY-BKLYN LOCAL” as they programmed with the  when it ran to Broadway Jct. 

that definitely would’ve made more sense 😭

There's a new program for the  on one of the R179s and I have no idea what they were thinking...

 JAMAICA SKIP-STOP

(ok good)

 BROADWAY LOCAL

(um... what...)

 BROAD ST 

(meh, it said that before)

 

I still don't understand their aversion to Nassau Street for one and two "Broadway Local"? That's totally not going to get confused with the Broadway line in Manhattan... 

They run completely different routes , who’s really gonna get confused ?

First time for everything...I was on the and we pull into Grand Central mid-morning. As the doors open, a young Asian woman starts screaming as a Black teenager goes "Apple picking" (aka grabs her phone out of her hand). The black guy starts running down the platform as the platform conductor radios for police. After a minute of commotion, the perp is out of our sight and we figure a cop happened to catch him because our C/R closes down and we start to move...but as we pull into the tunnel, we see the perp with his jacket flipped inside out casually walk back to the end of the platform to wait for the next train. I hope he was still being watched by the platform conductors, but I have a bad feeling he got away clean.

Having the run to 145 if 96th/2nd is unavailable would make sense and the should have a contingency plan for that OR have the  go to 168 with the  and terminate there in that scenario.

First time I have ever seen my old bus route (M31) ever said for alternative service.  Used to use that in the days before it was extended to the west side (used to terminate at 59th/Lex). 

I don’t think it’d be necessary to do allat

Tell me how the  was running in the 90s and how it is right now.🤣

You know im agreeing with you right ?

Do you want to know something.

In the 1990s, We were the best subway in the world. 

In the 1990s, All of the trains were rebuilt and refurbished. 

Trains were running fast and smoothly (before the 1995 Williamsburg Wreck)

And more importantly, it was reliable.

Many other countries looked at us, and tried to make their transit system like us because we were once the very best IN THE WORLD. 

What defines a good Subway?

To me its, Well built safe equipment. Its fast and on time.  its reliable. We had that in the 1990s and the early 2000s. This was our prime. 

But even today, there are some aspects that we are still #.

Let me break it down 

Do you  know that we are one of few that runs 24/7?

Along with Chiraq. We do

https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.businessinsider.com/nyc-subway-runs-all-night-and-thats-why-its-great-2017-8

Do you who has the most Stations in the world? 

We do at 472.

Do you know how many services (lines) we run.

In the United States alone.

D.C. has 6 Lines

Atlanta has 4

LA has 2

Chicago has 8 

London has 11

Tokyo has 13

And NEW YORK CITY 27! Get Outta here.

I say with proud confidence that New York City has the Best Subway in the world (WHEN IT IS WORKING!)

emphasis on When It’s Working cs tuh

2. You're Right, but I Don't really like the R68s it is too old and dates back to WW2, so there is a Chance that R268s would replace the R68s around mid to late 2020's

 

Age isn’t a good enough reason to scrap perfectly capable trains

Now that they've axed the shutdown, will they still lengthen trains? They always seemed overcrowded anyway, and I know the feeling** of coming down to the platform on the staircase that's too far away to the train as its doors close. Are they still going to fix the tunnel using the 3-year plan?

 

**Although it's been a while since I've had this feeling.

No , they said they’re increasing the frequency instead of lengthening it 

If MTA had continued the local tracks of the Broadway Line under Central Park , where do you think it would’ve went

The east side has the , , , , and (partially) in that scenario, but the west side will still only have the , , and (partially) . Running the in stead of the would balance the east and west sides at night with the amount of service. The east side isn’t exactly bursting at the seams with subway service while the 7 and 8 Avenue lines practically tie at the neck, hip, and feet.

It’s the other way around , 1,2,3,A , etc on the west. 4,5,6 on the east
