Kamen rider didn't even have any proof of what he was saying was true lmfao. You just sound butthurt because you were proven wrong.

How is it a 50% service cut if the is detached from the and not treated like a skip stop variant.

Well what about the increased chances of car accidents near these accessible stations. That should be a concern since we have people who have the habit of speeding on the road anyways.

What is your reason, The ROW is already exists all you have to do is add an elevated structure. Nobody wants to take the bus anyways.

In most cases the train leaves/arrives before or after the ferry left or arrived at the same time. All you doing is proving everyone else wrong and contradicting yourself. You'll only get the ferry after heading out of the station if you are lucky.

It won't improve anything for all NYers since safety comes first then we improve transit.

The will never be moved to Nassau anytime soon because you are taking away a one seat ride into Midtown & Queens plus it the line would have to be structurally overhauled by using 480 foot trains. It will not provide fair service to in Brooklyn & Manhattan either way.

That's at the border of fantasyland.

The car shortage has an easy solution. So then explain the crush loads on the Q52 & Q53 Select Bus Services. Only a few SIR stations are getting ADA upgrades because there is a demand for it. This is no conspiracy theory because I did my own research aside from wikipedia and I've been to most of the stations myself. Cut the bullshit do you even do your own research?

Dude I already know this. They should have just kept the 32s, 40s, & 42s instead of buying those broken down tin cans also known as the NTTs. On the other hand the MTA had enough money to buy brand new cars if anything were to happen to the SMEEs. But no they went on with making brand new subway stations instead. The still has car shortages to this day and you can see this with the headways. Look at what is capping them from running extra trains. They have to run expresses on a two track line during peak direction just to speed up service at the cost of skipping the busier stations like Grasmere, Grant City, New Dorp, & Oakwood Heights and the headways are 15-30 minutes long which is a ridiculous headway for a 14 mile line like the . In fact it is just as bullshit as the , The Train to Far Rockaway, & The Rockaway Park headways which do not see much ridership to this day because most people used to and still do xfer to the or buses instead before this Covid thing happened. Now that the is now the slow and unreliable line and most of that was because of the & merging and other problems that plague QBL to this day. It hurts everyone. Now with Staten Island and the little funding they get from the MTA because we know they like to funnel money around to the State's pet projects and backdoor deals. You still have people complaining that almost all of the stations are not ADA accessible in Staten Island. Still wonder where is the money for the accessible station in Staten Island? It's in the MTA's pockets. It doesn't matter anyway since NYCT can easily order new cars anyways. It isn't that bad as you over exaggerated it to be.

Also the Empire Connection is not electrified despite this project being feasible for double tracking & electrification.

The proposed stops would only slow the speed of the EC Trains because they would be stalled behind Metro North Trains. Amtrak & Metro North Railroad both stop at Yonkers with AMTRAK owning most of the ROW except for most of the stations which are owned by the Metro North Railroad. AMTRAK Trains serve as the super express from NYC to Poughkeepsie. Merging the Metro North Railroad into Penn Station will only cause merging conflicts/delays=bottlenecks. Also you have to consider the logistics of Penn Station. Penn Station uses overrunning 3rd rail while the Metro North Railroad & AMTRAK use underrunning 3rd rail. Which goes back to the days of the Pennsylvania Railroad & the New York Central Railroad before the merger of Penn Central/CONRAIL/AMTRAK.

The B17 is one of the most unusual bus routes in Brooklyn aside from the B7. It has two branches that run to the Canarsie Rockaway Parkway Terminal via Glenwood Road & the East 80th Street branch to Paerdegat Avenue North. What should to happen to them under this redesign? Should one of the branches be redesignated or should both be redesignated entirely?

The LIRR can do that by going on a strike until they get what they want. Plus the MTA knows of these loopholes that Nassau & Suffolk counties will do to prevent tourists from coming to Long Island.

Penn Station Access. That shit has FAIL all over it. AMTRAK mostly owns the ROW along with CSX from New York City to Buffalo it would rob ridership from AMTRAK who does not want any bullshit from the Metro North Railroad in their territory.

Just because the MTA is the parent organization doesn't MEAN they have the final say. The LIRR & the Metro North Railroad are two SEPARATE railroad companies. For Amtrak to run service into Long Island all parties have to consent to this including Nassau & Suffolk county's representatives. The Long Island Rail Road are sure as hell not willing to give up their tracks in Penn Station on behalf of the Metro North Railroad & are sure as hell not willing to share their ROW with AMTRAK. Move on.

They only send them if they need overhauls or if there was an incident that damaged the cars. There's plenty of other maintenance that they do at CI that I highly doubt you and I wouldn't know about. Remember when you said you were pissed off about the corruption running around the MTA. They lied about the car shortage that NYCT had when they had the money to buy additional cars to provide more capacity.

Oh they do. Clifton Yard can't even house most of the cars for the 44s if they need maintenance anyways and they would not be able to because they have to get their shit trucked to Coney Island for maintenance that Clifton can't even perform like an overhaul. That only causes more issues that the system currently has, Hence this is why the SIR has to deal with car shortages unlike the rest of the New York City Subway because of what the MTA has devolved into and the fact that they can't get their shit together.

It was a service cut in disguise. This is what they did to Staten Island before moving on to Brooklyn & Queens. Brooklyn & Queens residents weren’t having that shit with their bus routes being cut for supplementary and long unreliable bus routes. Ffs this is what BrooklynBus was trying to tell y'all before everyone bitched at him for it.

Coney Island Yard is at capacity. 38th Street is not, It has the additional capacity to store extra trains for the .

Well we both know nothing is free. At the end of the day we all have to pay for our subway/bus fares if we like it or not. The extension via Conduit Blvd is the more realistic idea rather than the fantasy proposed Second Avenue Subway will ever be which will only serves Manhattan itself. Brooklyn, Queens & The Bronx have always outnumbered Manhattan 3 to 1. Tunnel Boring Machines are expensive as hell and it also takes more time to construct a subway line underground which can be very time consuming. The realistic option for the extension via Conduit Blvd is to use a modernized elevated structure with no emissions. The last borough that should be bitching about service is Manhattan since they get fair service compared to the rest of the boroughs.

The is not going to be eliminated due to NIMBYs in Richmond Hill & Woodhaven complaining about the lack of "fair service" Unless there is an extreme budget cut. The AirTrain & is owned by the airport itself and should not be made free. That's socialism. Most of public transportation isn't free. Maybe the subway should be free, that would just encourage turnstile jumpers to do jump the turnstiles even more despite the multiple busts of these guys that I've seen on the subway by the NYPD. The Staten Island Railway loses $500 Million dollars annually because of this shit. Your fares go to the salary of the bus operator and/or train crews & to fixing the station. Not your fantasy ideas or your leisure.

The Staten Island Railway is underfunded and the car shortages makes it even worse. Not only that though for maintenance they only have a single yard to do so with problems that plague the line to its core. An additional yard for maintenance/storage is required to accommodate additional trains. The R211S delivery will accelerate the issue including the fact that the SIR is required to be CBTC ready by this time and I highly doubt the TA would waste money into, Plus they are going to be NIMBYs who won't like the vibrations disrupting their peace anyway. Move on

Conduit Blvd's ROW can fit two tracks. What's wrong with extending subway service to the area

The LIRR has the final say, the MTA has to negotiate with Long Island and its representatives if they demand Amtrak service in Long Island. Do you not see the political barriers at all?
