It’s not just me, it’s most of the general public. Ask anyone riding.

I assure you , the average rider does not give a f**k. As long as the beginning of the announcement about the current stop , transfers and next stop can be heard , who cares ?? No one but you , it’s not that deep. 

How can I upload pictures here ?

Starting this weekend, and every weekend going forward, average wait times for  trains will be reduced by up to 4 minutes, with trains arriving every 8 minutes, and  trains arriving every 8-10 minutes (instead of every 10-12 minutes as before). That means less time traveling and more time soaking up the sun at your destination! ☀️.

Is it technically considered fare evasion if I use my student metro card for a trip that doesn't involve school? You get 3 swipes on all weekdays even if there isn't actually school that day, but on weekends it doesn't work suggesting the intention of the card is only for getting to and from school or school related activities, not just providing students free metro cards for any trips

Please be so for real

I’m on a Broad St bound J train right now. It pulled into broadway junction on the express track , continued to stop at Chauncey St and then went express to Myrtle-Bway , anyone know why this would happen ?

also , we’re flying through all the other stops, express service along the Brklyn-Bway stretch seems pretty nice too

On the R211 right now for the first time since they entered service and I gotta say , this is a really smooth ride and the train itself is very visually appealing.

Sidenote : currently at 80 St , heading to Lefferts if anyone’s looking for it

This isn’t that exact video but here’s one of a R142 speeding

Why are you worried about people who don’t care about their own lives ? If they don’t care about risking their lives I sure don’t. As part of my career in RTO we were shown pictures of the aftermath of 12-9 incidents. Some of us couldn’t take it and left the room. My take was that an accidental death like a slip or fall or a crime victim deserved my sympathy but an idiot playing games deserves to pay a price. I have been at the scene of two accidental deaths by my personal choice and I have seen how much it affected the T/O and C/R of both trains. My buddy was an RCI at West 4th at the time of the first accident and he and the Zone Trainmaster asked me if I wanted to tag along with them because I was off duty and I said “yes “ . I have no sympathy for someone who thinks that surfing is a game. I know how it affected the crews. I have a friend who had 4 12-9 s who became a property protection agent because it bothered him so much. Unless you’ve witnessed those things up close your opinion and mine will always be at odds. I lived near Prospect Park years ago and two youngsters decided to climb into the bears cage one day. Only one came out alive. The other one ran all the way home before telling anyone. We naturally felt sorry for the fatality but some of us were angry that they put the bear to sleep. We neighborhood folks figured that the kid shouldn’t have been there, period.  That’s what I feel about the surfers. Carry on.

It’s nothing about being worried about them or having sympathy. Yes if they get hurt that’s on them, oh well , they shouldn’t have been doing it but they’re still kids, I  would not like to see kids dying or getting hurt nor would I wish that on them. They don’t deserve to pay a price wtf , that’s mad weird especially since you’ve witnessed it and what it does to people , why the f**k would you want that. “ But that’s just my opinion, carry on 🤷🏾‍♂️ “

Not ridiculous at all, you pay for ya learnin'

You right but once again , wanting to see them fall and die to learn from their mistakes is ridiculous like I said.

Hurt ? Personally I’d rather see the lot of them fall and be permanently removed from the gene pool. My opinion. Carry on.

Wtf , that’s sick. I get what they’re doing is extremely reckless and they’re basically asking to get hurt , but wanting them to get hurt and “ permanently removed from the gene pool “ is ridiculous
