before the pandemic, the ridership was getting high on the and the R46's cause dwell time. Plus the R46's are becoming tired due to them running to death. when they took the 12 sets of spares and threw 8 of them on the , their reliability started to drop.

 

And i can understand why he's mad. I'm tired of this oh the needs to loose it's tech trains because CI should have a new fleet. We aren't that dumb, We get it Black neighborhoods along the Fulton st line deserve to get their new trains taken away and lets give them to the white folks in south brooklyn.

It's very obvious, The out of all lines needs a new fleet. I'm tired of the oh the don't need em yet, They better give the a chunk of that Base order R211.

Please let's not turn this into a race thing

I don’t understand why you are getting so mad at him. It is just a train and the MTA will put them wherever they need them to be at.

Pitkin was literally all R46’s before the R179s came. The R46’s still make up a majority of the  fleet. If it wasn’t for the pandemic and the MTA being cautious about putting the R32’s back in service (on an underground line) because of the half cab issue, the  would mostly if not be all R32’s right now and the  would be 100% R46. 

And so what if the  will have less 60ft trains, the 75ft R44’s and R46’s have dominated its fleet for the longest. The  is using the basically same amount of NTT’s now as if was before when it still had its R179’s. 
 

I'm not mad, I'm just saying pitkin and 207 always have to suffer whenever something happens train related let's be honest they've had the oldest fleet in the B division always and losing what little bit of NTT they do have to C.I for more r46s is a horrible idea. I guess you agree with Lawrence st

Honestly I'd rather the R179's go to CIY for service on the and put the R46's back on the .

Hell no what wrong with you? keep them r46s where they are. bad enough once the r179s come back the A will have less 60ft fleet because the r160s will return to jamaica and C.I 

I just see a r179 heading to ENY at gates av middle track

Did 3563 retire? 

And is 6552 a diesel unit?

Word on the rails is that the R179s will return back to passenger service some time during August, which is after tomorrow. 

You sure it's not in september

The windows and lighting are different as well. Thats how I tell other than the number. Also the  never has R68As since their not at Concourse.

That's false I've seen the r68A on the D train it's very rear but I've just seen that last month

It borrows one set from CI during the pm rush.

Ohh, I thought they stopped that after r179 3040-3049 went into passenger service

Just a pointer of the  in percentage (number/total) : 

R46 -> 22 / 40 = (55%)

R160 -> 17 / 40 = (42%)

R68/A -> 1 /40 = (3%)

Wait the A has r68s? 

There's alot of r160s on the A train I took the train to work instead of driving I was suprised

R32s is like you thought we were done and now we are back for some more action. Warriors of the Subways.

Forreal 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

The r32s just cant R.I.P 😂😂

I hope the MTA has learned two very important lessons from this. Lesson 1 NEVER under any circumstances order from Bombardier ever again. Lesson 2 if mta orders from bombardier again 🤦🏿‍♂️ NEVER retire any fleet bombardier is replacing 

Are the r46s all gone from Jamaica?

Remember that the 2017s aren't theirs to keep. Easier to commit something to the Q70 that's going to stay there as opposed to doing the 17s, then having to unwrap them, then having to wrap the 19s. 

I thought the 13  2017s  was going to be kept by MTA bus company? So what's going to replace them ?

Someone needs to notify LGA and tell them "hey, the light blue SBS wrap is under the local scheme. U can peel off the yellow on the back so there can be a light blue base under the LGA Link wrap instead." 
 

I really don't get why they couldn't wrap the 2017 60xx buses. There's 13 buses right there for them. Keep the routes UNIFORMED. 

I agree with you wrapping the 2017 xd60s with the LGA link wrap would make alot more sense but mta seems to always do the opposite of common sense lol

What's the news on 3040-3049 I seen it testing last week.... ?

I think that one specifically is special...it's actually all painted and not wrapped.

Oh wow it did look like paint and not wrap I was wondering 

JFK xd60 5368 is fresh wrapped I can tell by the top, it's not white like 5364-5411
