This is true. Sometimes my logic prior to being train crew pulled off. But railfan logic comes off with a basis for said logic. Like one of my personal logics is still the rumor of certain cars on the B. This was based on mdbf, times the line operates and a previous car swap for needing cars to be shopped during off times. But knowing what we no SO FAR bout the 179s, I would actually like to hear the training for this thought of them going to the G. Which BTW, I see as a second reason for my personal thought of what I mentioned about the B. Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

Rail fan speculation logic? Lol Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

It still ends on the corner of B20th and Seagirt blvd. Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

They actually do but its only available for certain counties. I googled them and was able to get a few for counties in northern jersey in PDF form. Earning, they aren't that detailed or geographically accurate like the MTA's. Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk They look like this:

Longer? I kinda expected longer. Here in NYC, when you by the $3 single ride ticket, its only good for two hours. But when I rode the Light Rail, I had a 3 zone monthly bus pass so I never looked into it till now Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

A train being SRO wouldn't warrant note cars added. Thats how the trains are suppose to be with standard ridership. You're not reserved a seat for your fare. Now if the whole train was packed to the doors with no room, then it would be warranted. The see is rarely,outside of a delay- that packed. Maybe the first and last cars due to most of the exits in Brooklyn placed there, but the rest is usually SRO. Perfectly acceptable. Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

Update: coming home, noticed the count down clocks working along Fulton st too. Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk Just saw that r142a 7795 basically covered this. Lol

8th ave line now has active countdown clocks. Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

The C/R was communicating with rail control. And unless they are told to by rail control,no one is getting keyed Off. Thats what many dont understand. Its CYA down there. You must go by the instructions of the rail control center. Crews can't just decide for themselves to key people off the train . Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

I've delt with that for over 30 years. And given my current commute, thats nothing. See, the thing is they have certain procedures in place for these incidents, which I also know from being a conductor. I've had longer delays. Now since it had already made the stop, anyone who wanted off there already did. Things happen. Trains go BIE all the time. My train gets delayed by a draw bridge. Both crew members have to investigate. The T/O checks the track bed while the C/R checks of it was passenger activated. Having to Kay off passengers makes the 15-30 min delay into a 30 to 45 min delay. I understand your frustration, but really? Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

Procedure states once the train makes the stop and starts to depart, you dont reopen. Why delay the train more by keying open doors during the investigation? Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

From what you described I'm assuming it had already made the stop. So why reopen? Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

I ride the Cruisers all the time. 1-2? Try 15. I ride afternoons and evenings on a heavily used route (166) and both directions tend to see standees (especially Friday and Saturday nights NY-bound). And as for the Bx4/4A, its not the stops that slow the bus down, its the fact that it's only one lane under the els. The only section without the el is between Southern blvd and Whitlock ave. I grew up between soundview and hunts point and used the 4 a lot. All the way back to when it was the Bx42. Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

The M14A not only terminates at a different location, but the 14D has more ridership. The only law in place is operation while anyone is standing infront of the white line. NJT has standees on their Cruisers all the time. I ride them on their 166 local and the occasional 178 or 186. The Bx4/4A shouldn't be SBS, along with other routes that have already been converted. It seems to me that the MTA has forgotten the actual point of Bus Rapid Transit. Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

The original post was focusing on the late night brooklyn shuttle and referred to Chambers on the J. Still couldnt go to chambers on the A either since there's no track connection of any kind between the two to the south. Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

Trains (R46) aren't allowed on the BMT east. They won't fit. As well as what someone else mentioned, the trains are too long. Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

Here in the Rockaways we dont even have signs of the recent design. we still have the old school signs Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

I dont understand why so many are calling the renovations bad. Look, when they renovates the stations here in Rockaway, the same thing happened!! For a few months the closes each aide of the stations, took down the canopy, redid the platform and half the mezzanine at a time. Then they reopened it with only half the platform open along the length of the stations and the canopy in finished and continued work while open. So what's the big deal. Its how they chose to renovate them. Want the stations closed longer? Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

Wouldn't really reduce the conga line. You'd still have one direction delayed for the crossover Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

They still run skip-stop from Jamaica to East NY Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

I think its actually going to be lime its own concept but with traditional headlights. This is the "Next Gen Fleet". Look at the "New Car Fleet" of the 80s compared to the current "New Technology Fleet". The 211 order will be the next evolution. Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

In all honestly, I dont see those headlights making it to final production. Each design concept starts out with nontraditional head/taillights. When I was an Intern a long time ago, I asked a few of New Car Engineers why do they keep going back to the traditional round lights? They told me railway regulations. Such regs aren't in place in other countries Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk

And we've already seen an R44 testing on LIRRs mainline Sent from my LGLS755 using Tapatalk
