  1. If you were around in the last 5 Years (as you claim), you would already been know what the hold up was....... (If you have been monitoring this thread or similar)
  2. I saw an R62 with the Win8 partial wrap, same for the R142.
  3. When you get banned from the forums for your trolling, thats when the swaps will start !
  4. I tell ya... Time is going fast.. Things have gotta slow down these days!

  5. I can picture it now... A few folks getting wet reading all this~~~
  6. Ok Ok, Im sure Mr. TransitMan was joking or not, but who cares anyways..... The point is, there are lots of crazy sh9t happening in the system... I remember once A homeless guy taking a sh9t in between the cars on the train a while back ... The whole train was stinking like a$$.......... Someone actually crossed in between the cars after the men left, and got poop under his shoes...... Just another NYC Subway Classic...........
  7. Leave the safe sex at your home or someone else place you know.. I've never seen couples having sex on the train (except photos), but surely have witness "folks" playings with themselves... Disgusting.. Looks like with lack of enforcement, these things are bond to continue to happen...
  8. Does anyone know if MNCR will ever repaint one of the 22x Gennies which still uses the old Silver/Strip scheme? I believe 220 and 222 are the ones?
  9. If you don't mind, heres a PDF version of the map: http://www.mta.info/maps/night_map_Sep12.pdf
  10. I do hope we get another mild Winter, like last year. Don't mind a snowy day, one day.... But MILD is what I like! Extremely Cold or Hot.. No Thank You!

      the MTA did not prepare for that snowstorm at all. Too bad I wasn't there for the R160 siemens (R)

       

  11. There's about to be one less carrier in the US. T-Mobile US, which is owned by Deutsche Telekom in Germany, has announced that it will acquire MetroPCS, the fifth-largest mobile carrier in the U.S. The companies will be combined under the T-Mobile name. According to the company, the deal will result in a more products and deeper network coverage, which will include plans for a bigger LTE network. "The new company will be the value leader in wireless with the scale, spectrum and financial and other resources to expand its geographic coverage, broaden choice among all types of customers and continue to innovate, especially around the next-generation LTE network," René Obermann, CEO of Deutsche Telekom, said in a statement. Deutsche Telekom's board unanimously approved the deal. MetroPCS shareholders will receive $1.5 billion in cash and 26 percent ownership in the combined company. In March 2011, AT&T made a move to acquire T-Mobile US, the fourth-largest carrier in the U.S., from Deutsche Telekom, but the deal was ultimately rejected by the Department of Justice because of antitrust issues.

  12. LOL. I forgot about the post office. But people still call the Terminal, Station.
  13. There is like 2 to 4 LFSA on the Bx1/2. Its not hard to catch one. Depending on where you at.
  14. Yeah... While the media has mentioned the R179s would be hitting the ... Maybe it was just to keep the riders shut with all the bs.. Makes me wonder, if the R46s will just be placed on the permanently in the future. As others have mention, the is is always stuck with the oldest rolling stock around. R10 > R32s > R46 next? (Forecast?! R68 > R160 > THEN R179 o_O...) To early to tell at this point tho =|....
  15. Oh no. Dont mess with the 68s. Your gonna cause a heart attack to a "someone" . But hey, anything freaky can occur in this system ya never know. Like if this has never happened ...
  16. If you have a sign that says "For Metro-North, take the to Grand Central Station", I'm sure that will ease the pain. (Not everyone) The only reason why I brought this up, is to give commuters access to departures of a Metro-North train, and any delays involved.
  17. Maybe it is just you. Besides there are already count downs for the , just in case. A lot of commuters who use the are also those who want Metro-North. So whats the problem with having a screen with departures? Besides tourist. If I was in a hurry, and I didn't have a timetable on me, I would be happy to see a departure screen for MNCR trains leaving GCT at 42nd St . I'm sure others will be happy as well. Its like, JFK train station. They have Airline departures/arrivals screens. Your not even within the terminals, your still in the Howard Beach / JFK station, connecting to the Airtrain, which acts like a Shuttle train (with a cost).
  18. You cannot compare a Railroads schedule with a Subway's Schedule... Both have its ups and downs with frequency & service.. MNCR has 4 tracks along Park Avenue outside of GCT, which there are a lot of trains and routes entering/exiting the station at different times.. What does confusing tourist have to do with this? Besides 34th Street / NYP also has SOME tourist lurking the station. And when you come out of ether the IRT or IND Penn Station, you have screens up. So wouldn't that confuse them as well? I'd rather see screens up at Times Square platform at least have a screen. And if the tourist is confused, well let them be... Because a whole lot of them will be confused for anything around...
  19. If your talking about the IRT . Your gonna see that a lot, people rushing to make a connection with MNCR (or coming from). The ... Don't get me started, its another .. Ill take a and Thank You! On another note, does anyone thing Times Square platform should have Screen boards listing Metro-North Departures? I think it would make sense. Most of the IRT riders are MNCR ones.
  20. You should be fine. Just check it out, and see if its swapped or not. As of tonight, still where it is.
  21. Sorry man, but I can not seem to find it. It was an FAQ from (DailyNews or NY Times) from about Late June or July. If I find it, I'll link it.
  22. Thats what the people in this community say.... But again as I've said before, don't be surprised if the and/or get the older cars back, REGARDLESS of swap being an issue. The does what ever they want... People keep saying its going on the and then maybe the , yet we still haven't seen a swap and making conclusions fast. And even if the swap were to occur, who knows if its gonna stay like that or permanent.. Communities may burst, and will be curious for the swap. Just like how there was a news article back in July about the R32/R46 swap. The riders will have in impression. Some won't care, but there WILL be others who will care about it and be curious about this situation.
