I really hate that name...

Better now than later...

I'd rather punt all 4-car NTT sets off ASAP, then shift the 5-car R179s over. That would improve consistency with not just the R46s, but also the existing R211s.

I'm not sure if I agree with that bolded bit.

Yeah, for part of the day during part of the week.

I'd go one step further and say the fare cards really need to be compatible with OMNY and SEPTA Key, given the various interstate connections.

Me? I was at home. For the first few seconds, I thought someone was knocking on the wall. Then the building started to shake. As an aside, despite having no recollection of dealing with earthquakes, I found myself far calmer than I would've expected.

A good idea shouldn't hinge on bullshit.

I can't tell if that's sincere or sarcastic...

Well, the cops aren't exactly obligated to do a damn thing, but even if they were, this would still be a massive resource sink. Because you're more likely to see black people around them?

And on buses that can't really be used elsewhere, to boot...

While it's true that traffic was pretty light when it happened (it was around 1:30 AM EDT, after all), the end result was no less horrific. There's footage of the impact and collapse on Twitter, among other places.

At this point, I wouldn't, either. The only reason I still have a MetroCard is because the OMNY rollout is painfully slow.

That was most likely implying on a permanent basis, as opposed to being done temporarily for work.

So the route's getting the X51 treatment, then?
