So is the R46 set that was involved in this situation back in service or is it taken out of service for investigation?

5th avenue is closing for station improvements by the way, don’t know what the MTA will be working on there, probably repairs on sections of the station

Self defense isn’t a crime, pretty sure you would’ve done the same thing in this situation, this is why this city is falling apart

So the station renewal projects have been pushed again for 2 weeks….. also will skip 5th avenue in both directions from March 22-24, I guess cheaper contractors equals longer delays, MTA should stop doing contracts in bids, it’s not worth it

Mine says 07/29, does that mean July 2029 or July 29th

Yeah but there is no year like metro cards have, I was trying to login with omny on the website and check the balance….. something like that, I still have no idea how it works🤷‍♂️

I got an omny card today, problem is that I don’t know where the year expiration date is at???? Can anyone explain this for me, thank you

Here is a few planned service changes on the 1. Flushing bound will skip Queensboro plaza starting on March 11th till March 15th for platform replacements, it also includes installation of new LED advertisements, Replacing stairs, and elevator installation 2. Flushing bound Skips 82nd, 90th, 103rd, 111th Street stations because of station improvements 3. Manhattan bound skips 111th, 103rd, 90th, 82nd Street stations because of station improvements, this is the last time this GO will be used unless track repairs happen, by that time 82nd and 111th Street platforms would reopen, March 18th speculated

Hopefully this program is available on all R211’s, I’m not seeing any changes on other sets

If only the MTA actually gave us good service, which we all know here isn’t good at all. Weekend service is a disaster, during rush hours there is always some sort of delay, doesn’t matter the situation, it really frustrates several commuters, I get why they wouldn’t pay, as much as they want to avoid the subway, it’s the only way to get around the city without traffic on the roads

By the way, the MTA has updated their “7 line improvements” page, March 6th: The only obvious change I see is at the “33,40th and 46th street station” tab, seems like they won’t have temporary platforms after all, no scheduled changes will occur on these stations

Update at 82nd Street Jackson Heights station: New windscreens are beginning to see shape, there is a whole stack of them on the platform, ready to be installed, all though the work is being hidden behind, but there is a few sneak peaks 111 Street: New platforms 100% complete, the rest of the work is just repainting Woodside 61st Street: It seems like the contractors are ready to renovate the Manhattan bound platform once the platforms reopen at 82nd and 111 Street, Still no updates on when express service is returning

It’s probably the neighborhood, too dangerous, the whole 4 route is dangerous to me

Yes, and it also means 69th street (Manhattan bound platform) will be closed very soon, equipment has been installed behind the windscreens

Like that’s gonna stop criminals from attacking employees…. Waste of money in my opinion

It’s seems like the MTA has stopped adding service skipping 82nd and 111 street on their planned service changes for the week of March 18-22, my speculation is that the stations are expected to reopen my Monday March 18th, it is subject to change

In Queens, Flushing-bound skips Queensboro Plaza Beginning Mar 11, Mon 4 AM until Mar 15, Fri 11:59 PM Astoria-bound also skips Queensboro Plaza during this time. Use nearby Queens Plaza or Court Sq Transfer to/from at Times Sq-42 St/Port Authority , 5 Av/42 St-Bryant Pk For 74 St/Roosevelt Av . What's happening? We're making station improvements

Maybe a midday shutdown could work, runs express during midday, the contractors can get work done much faster this way, they get track access which is crucial for a project like this

It seems like both the Jamaica and Flushing station improvements got bad management, there is also no update into when the 61st Street express track is reopening, no schedule at the moment.

As of now, the 82nd Street station canopy has been completely installed, and at 111 Street all the blue barricades have been taken down and ready for platform reconstruction on certain areas. Both stations have been covered in white sheets. Hopefully both stations are opened by Early March, work at 61st Street has been delayed as well (casual MTA shenanigans during these type of projects)

They can if it’s only using the express track, apparently there was supposed to be a red bird train run on the 7 on November 2023, but was cancelled due to various projects being done on the 7 right now, especially the Woodside station, where express trains aren’t available

Those dates aren’t always accurate , they also said the T sets would enter by fall 2023, but as you can obviously see that wasn’t the case

I notice that the T sets have digital subway maps instead of a psychical copy, which I think should’ve been implemented on the A sets as well, the digital maps can be updated with important information, for example with the current service changes, it shows the as a shuttle between 63rd and 21 Street while the psychical maps don’t

It’ll be removed again for no reason, it’s only on one time and never again to be seen

The MTA currently has the running with delays because of maintenance at the Manhattan bridge….. anyone see the error here or is it only me… it’s posted on the website as of 4:38 PM don’t know if they’ll change such error Edit: As of now it has changed to “Williamsburg bridge”
