    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.
  5. Lex
    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?
  7. Lex
    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.
  9. Lex
    At this point, I wouldn't, either. The only reason I still have a MetroCard is because the OMNY rollout is painfully slow.
  10. Lex
    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?
  12. Lex
    You know damn well Atlantic Terminal was brought up to stress a point related to that supplemental service.
  13. Lex
    So what's the plan for nights and weekends?
  14. Lex
    Unless short-turns are explicitly involved in the proposals, you shouldn't expect anything about them on those things.
  15. Lex
    No. Those short-turns cover the core part of the route and have plenty of traffic to deal with as it is.
  16. Lex
    Granted, when a depot has artics and/or coaches, they typically run on specific routes...

    If you like Dragon Ball, Dragon Quest, Dr. Slump, Chrono Trigger, or whatever and somehow missed the bad news, well, here it is.
  18. Lex
    Is there even enough space to accommodate more express buses?
  19. Lex
    That makes sense, especially given their age.

    Right now, the has to serve as an alternative to the other Brooklyn IRT routes to varying degrees, which could put more pressure on some parts of the B Division, so I'd have to agree with that sentiment.
  21. Lex
    Not to mention that these day-specific branches (by that, I mean one branch receives all of the service on certain days while the other branch gets everything on others) aren't exactly desirable for regular service from a passenger's standpoint. It's bad enough that we have branches like the Rockaway Park and the peak/reverse-peak branches, and those only see a relatively small number of weekday trains.

    Metra recently announced a contract awarded to Stadler for new battery-powered trains. While the press release doesn't directly refer to the sets as FLIRTs, the phrasing of the last paragraph and Stadler's own video on the topic indicate that they are indeed FLIRTs.
  23. Lex
    I mean, have you seen the 20 years leading up to COVID smacking us in the face?
  24. Lex
    I noticed there's an entry for the Canarsie-bound platform's closure for Friday night through Saturday morning. I'm guessing that's to install the barriers.
  25. Lex
    Was there an incident along the LIE?
