What Your Favorite NJT Bus Route
Jova42R replied to A Former New Yorker's topic in New Jersey Transit
My critique with those is the 186. WHY DOESN'T IT GO TO CLOSTER? -

Maybe Governors Island could be a summer only stop? -

I think that a midtown-brooklyn rail tunnel is a great idea, however, I have a slightly different proposal: https://docs.google.com/document/d/11-DXwhlE_d-ouYARvX8P-yKntsrx_BjdQsnq2-g0QiM/edit?usp=sharing -

Whoops... What about 20810? -
New Flyer XD60 Delivery And Discussion Thread
Jova42R replied to davemackey's topic in New Jersey Transit
I thought that since this is the first time 20810 has tracked, I might say that. Also, I asked a question at the end of my post -

Jova42R replied to davemackey's topic in New Jersey Transit
20810 is tracking......off the coast of africa. So is 20809. 20803 is at ironbound and 20801 is in Hoboken. Why is 20801 switching between Secaucus and Hoboken @davemackey @Cait Sith do you know? -

@LaGuardia Link N Tra @mrsman @JeremiahC99 if we relocate the Transit Museum to Nassau St, then we could have the to Brooklyn. My proposal is linked here. I think that for a museum on Nassau, we could have the following layout: Bowery is a la Canal and Chambers. SAS service on upper level, no track connections Canal is 1/3 of the bus section. NO ENTRANCES Grand St becomes the north entrance, and northern end of excursion trains (new track connection to Nassau). This is 1/3 of the bus section. Chambers is half station exhibit, half excursion station. main entrance here Fulton becomes 1/3 of the bus section. Access by excursion trains from Broad, Grand, or Bowery Broad becomes the southern entrance, with a new platform south of the station for more exhibits. EXCURSIONS WOULD RUN USING THE FOLLOWING PATTERNS, AND WOULD BE FREE WITH MUSEUM FARE: Grand - Chambers Outer - Broad (designated the Grand-Broad Shuttle, blue on museum maps) Bowery - Canal - Chambers Outer - Broad (designated the Nassau Shuttle, brown on museum maps) I may post a map later of the services. -
Why not the Class 756s? And what type of trains is that one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_769 is a TMU, and could work.
-
So maybe run all Stadler FLIRTs. Then just couple trains together. Running both types of Class 756s would result in any number of car lengths: 3 car 1 756/3 Greenport Branch 4 car 1 756/4 Oyster Bay Shuttles Port Jefferson Shuttles Montauk Shuttles 6 car 2 756/3s Oyster Bay Penn Port Jefferson Penn 8 car 2 756/4s Port Jefferson Penn 9 car 3 756/3s None 12 car 4 756/3s or 3 756/4s Cannonball Is this better?

My plan for Broadway service: WOODLAWN - WEST BRONX - 2 AV - BWAY EXP - MANHATTAN BR - 4 AV - WEST END - CONEY ISLAND THROGS NECK - CROSS/WEST BRONX - 2 AV - BWAY EXP - MANHATTAN BR - 4 AV - SEA BEACH - CONEY ISLAND ASTORIA - BWAY LCL - 4 AV - BAY RIDGE ASTORIA - BWAY LCL - RED HOOK - WINDSOR TERRACE The would utilize City Hall Lower (also a possible short-turn for trains), then run in a new tunnel under Lower Manhattan, stopping at Fulton Center, John St, and Hanover Sq, then in a new underwater tunnel, leaving Manhattan at Broad St, then going under the bay, stopping at Governors Island, and arriving in Red Hook. It would then run down through Red Hook, across the neighborhood, and then in a new tunnel under 10 St then 7 Av to 20th St, where it'd terminate at a 3-track terminal purely for s. trains would also run 7 days a week. Thoughts @LaGuardia Link N Tra @darkstar8983 @Biggie @Lex @JeremiahC99? Map for here -

In terms of a WTC museum, I'd just simply block off all the entrances to/from the mezzanine. The one thing that worries me about that, though, is isn't there a direct, one-hallway connection from the to the downtown ? -
Ok, here's a comprehensive plan to replace all LIRR/MNRR diesel service with DMUs or EDMUs: LIRR Montauk Branch Stadler FLIRT (specifically the Class 755 type) 8 CAR TRAIN Greenport Branch Stadler GTW 2 CAR TRAIN or ČD Class_844 2 CAR TRAIN Port Jefferson Branch Stadler FLIRT (specifically the Class 755 type) 6 CAR TRAIN Oyster Bay Branch Stadler FLIRT (specifically the Class 755 type) 6 CAR TRAIN MNRR Harlem/Hudson Line Northern Section Stadler FLIRT (specifically the Class 755 type) Harlem: 4 CAR TRAIN, Hudson: 8 CAR TRAIN Waterbury Nippon_Sharyo_DMU Danbury Stadler FLIRT (specifically the Class 755 type) 6 CAR TRAIN Thoughts/CRITIQUES? @XcelsiorBoii4888 @N6 Limited @67thAve @danielhg121 EDIT: Could these trains even fit on the LIRR/MNRR (in the tunnels?)

Transit, Charter?Tour from 2012
Jova42R replied to FamousNYLover's topic in Regional Transit Photos & Videos
Oh ok. -
Thanks so much guys!
-
I know. I found the codes I wanted from an external source. @XcelsiorBoii4888 no need to worry about responding
-
And are you 100% sure about those codes?
-
Thanks! Are these actually classified? And TTMG only has the old X routes (BTW the X1 code still works!) Do you know the SIM25?
-
@EastFlatbushLarry @paulrivera speaking of this, does anyone know the codes for the SIM routes (especially the SIM22 and 26). Also, does anyone know the codes for the SIM23 and 24?

Hi all, please use this thread to discuss Light Rail and propose routes. You can write about: Streetcars Trolleys LRT (Light Rail Transit) Light Metros Trams Hope you enjoy this thread! I'll start with a proposal for Northern Blvd Light Rail. This is a variant of what @LaGuardia Link N Tra, @gtNovaBusRTS9369, @mrsman and @Around the Horn proposed: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1XYDafyiqwG22P3HyZMl-gLG2FB9_Kflv&usp=sharing

1 and 2) ✅ 3) ✅ 4) Express service is good, however the locals SHOULD NOT terminate at Whitehall. 30TPH service from Astoria-Bway Lcl with CBTC, then locals go to City Hall Lower (), 12TPH. 18TPH continue to Bay Ridge (). The would then follow this route to Windsor Terrace: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1POqVjfSA8xoqRuCQTBbCwZvWbBhiNn5Y&usp=sharing 5) ✅ 6) Grand shouldn't close, so I'd say have SAS run through Grand. Would this Delancey-BR line run through Montague (let's call it the )? a) Why not the be the Delancey to Bowery line? b) NO NO NO NO NO. NO BROADWAY ON QBL. PLEASE NO. Instead have a lower level and send lower 2 Av trains via a new 79th tunnel to 21 St, then via Astoria Blvd (Northern would be a LRT) That's my feedback! -

Hi all, I have made a Bronx LRT/Trolley map. I know that street running is seen as not that great (as @Union Tpke, @XcelsiorBoii4888, @engineerboy6561 and @B35 via Church have said), but all of the street running sections (which makes up roughly 75-80% of the system) would run on DEDICATED bus lanes with DEDICATED LRT signals. Here's the map: https://drive.google.com/open?id=18NHwrP-Y3xCLjkjnhc0VyHPb8ZthWKZr&usp=sharing In terms of each line, I think that most of these lines are meant to be subway-underserved area connectors, so BEFORE YOU SAY THAT ONLY 2 LINES CONNECT TO MANHATTAN, REALIZE THAT THIS IS NOT THE MAIN PURPOSE. I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks! @Jova42R -
How Will Public Transit Survive the COVID-19 Crisis?
Jova42R replied to Italianstallion's topic in New York City Subway
Probably no. If anything, they'll run the via Montague. -

Maybe by destroying a bit of Fort Greene Park? But that'd get massive community opposition.
