Someone told me the Mets and Yankees pay for the baseball specials but I don’t know how true that is

https://www.amny.com/transit/service-changes-seven-subway-mta-starts-installing-modern-signaling-ace/ So I read this article and I understand this first week is gonna be all crazy. But after this, do you think they will just send the Es up the F line and suspend the Ms early from Essex St to Forest Hills every night like they did pre L shutdown for Queens Blvd CBTC?

I don’t understand. Why are they prioritizing the G for CBTC? They don’t run that many trains outside of the portion where it runs with the F

We’d lose a second at every station (it adds up) and then it might roll back depending on the grade

Are they just restoring to a pre-pandemic level or is this a service INCREASE at the expense of the other agencies (namely, NYC Transit) when LIRR ridership is way wayyy down?

I was wondering if they were going to do QBL east of Kew Gardens. I knew I had seen it in the past on these forums but hadn’t heard anything in a long time from the MTA about it

Ok thanks. This article was confusing

https://gothamist.com/news/mta-secures-billions-federal-aid-last-minute-deal-nj-ct ... is this ADDITIONAL Covid relief money or is it the money the MTA already got this year for Covid relief just now being distributed? I can’t keep up with how many billions the MTA has gotten for Covid relief anymore. To be clear, this is for the operational budget

https://mobile.twitter.com/danrivoli/status/1214930377728516101 It wasn’t a 179 🤷‍♂️

I don’t understand why the G is such a high priority for CBTC

Our union sucks and this won’t be addressed until they are voted out by a more “progressive” slate. The contract they just offered us (and our shitty union actually rejected) would subject all of us to home visits. But what law did you use to get those managers fired? As long as a law’s legislative purpose is contravened, its protections cannot be waived in a collective bargaining agreement.

It’s in our contract that they can come to our house if we’re in the worst 30% of sick leave users. If there is some law that says they can’t please let me know. You can inbox me if you want.

Nope 😂 https://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-trump-second-avenue-subway-20190824-a6gbcatqh5dwzegehtaosy5sju-story.html?fbclid=IwAR0T39_RyxdbGBJqYz4pZZ889h3hhD1T73eLgGWDbnuYl91uKj94zxo5GI8

lol isn’t the 2/3 at both ends of the Fulton St Transit Hub? You can get off at Park Place, walk through the E WTC terminal, and transfer to the 2/3 at Fulton St
