I actually like a lot of proposed route changes. They make a lot of sense... The issue is below with the spans/frequencies:

-QM3 service would be eliminated

-QM20 service off-peak would be eliminated

-QM4 off-peak & weekend service would be eliminated

-QM15 off-peak & weekend service would be curtailed with longer waits (90 minutes vs 60).

-QM2, QM5, QM6 off-peak/weekend service would be curtailed.

-QM1 service to Fresh Meadows would run 7 days a week, but only every 90 minutes on weekends and every 60 minutes off-peak.

 

I want what these guys at 2 Broadway are smoking

Same place in Ohio MetroNorth and PATH sent all their scrap cars ?

Maybe that is now for asbestos issues.

LIRR sent their M-1's to both Quebec and Mexico.

Never knew LIRR sent their retired cars out internationally, interesting

Wild seeing people in MTA vests hemming people up, second guy doesn't seem like a railfan just some random dude.

 

 

Private security for an TM trip I'm LMAO

the guy who got pulled off at 145th Street works at 2 Broadway....Needless to say, Allied Universal refused to believe this and subsequently lost their contract with the MTA...We wont be seeing them anytime soon

What happened at the runs today was entirely unacceptable... as a witness I have to ask myself if this is how parents treat their kids to act in public. I took my brother out to the runs as a surprise, not for him to see violence.

The R32s stored at Canarsie yard have been moved, 8 cars of R42s is now at Canarsie Yard instead. No idea where those R32s went nor why theres now R42s in the yard.

 

EDIT: the R32s were moved to 207th street yard.

DJ Hammers said they moved to Concourse Yard, that's also where the set of R42's came from.

The only has 1 put in while the rest of the fleet runs all day. IMO putting R32's back on the would be a Bad idea. The are better choices since they have plenty of rush hour put ins.

So far the hasn't gone full service yet if im correct, I know the is full service though. the is supposed to be by july for full service.

 

 

 

I guess the A would be a prime pick considering the J/Z use R143's during rush and sometimes other points of the day. I'd probably send them to Lefferts though and leave the R46's and R179's to the rockaway branches

before the pandemic hit around feb, there was about 48 R32's in active service and when the pandemic hit it was down to 32 with 2 sets being used. the whole point was to just have no spare factor and if an R46 broke down on the and there was no gap train, they would force an to go local.

 

this is something i'm against because now riders have to help out over something that could be easily solved by keeping only a handful of R32's. It's understandable if its an emergency or if it's a very large gap in service but this would have been daily which would suck. We all know why the R32's were all of a sudden removed from service when they just spent millions SMS'ing 110 of them to keep until the R211's are in service.

 

so there was never going to be full 100% service, that's the reason why they were planned to keep the R32's until 2022.

This is why I took the current rumor with a grain of salt, because the isn't 100% service yet. Jamaica imo should have enough for full service for now since it isn't 100% CBTC yet. 

 

i wonder if Jamaica would need those 9 r160's when CBTC is in full swing, since CBTC you need increased spare factor. this is why the has it as well as the but ENY is more flexible since they can use those R143/160 spares on the .

I feel like the  could use some extra R32's to help with service... even though the MTA said that C and F service would be restored soon, it still hasn't changed much...As a usual rider of the C line, i feel like 32's would be really useful during the rush hour periods of the day as to not stress them out too much and have breakdowns left and right

2nd

about being fired from NYCTA 12 years ago, i don't know if there's anything we can do about it...this is an unofficial forum site, that doesnt mean other workers arent here though, you just gonna have to find em.

I did once, at Lorimer Street Station. I won't be revealing what he looks like (even though we did take a selfie) but he's a really nice person IRL!
