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?

After reading what RTOMan said about Culver CBTC having the wrong track specs, this aint gonna be finished until like 2035 the earliest lol.
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

With what money??? 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?

Board docs today give an update on QBL west, 8th Ave, Culver CBTC. QBL East CBTC award is in there too.
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

This is additional money, so they got $14 billion IIRC, and now this $10 billion. Some of the funds is for infrastructure projects like the SAS extension and the Metro-North Bronx Project to Penn Station, and the rest is indeed for the operational budget. This doesn't bring them out of the woods, but they certainly can't use the excuse that they aren't getting funding to keep running the current service, because this will hold them for a bit at least until more permanent funding is found/finalized. This has allowed them to hire more bus operators and conductors and pay for overtime with the ongoing worker shortage.
Ok thanks. This article was confusing

... 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

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

1) I’d take your union to task over that
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.

Only if it’s worker’s compensation related.
Anything else - checking if home, asking for detailed medical information, etc - is illegal - UNLESS it’s information found in a DOT or employer-sponsored physical.
Now if an employee is dumb enough to call out ill and then get caught on the Cyclone at Coney Island, that’s on them. But visiting the house to make sure someone actually has the flu?
I’ve gotten several managers fired for that. That’s why MD notes/treatment verifications exist - to prove that the employee was under some medical treatment (or caregiver to someone with one) to validate the absence.
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.

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

Not sure if this is the right thread to ask this but does anyone know what the latest date the MTA wants to have the

Just do not hold y'all breath waiting now....
They got lots of work to do i say 2022 at least for the Queens Blvd Line.
I see they are building a relay at Kings Highway for the F so im guessing CBTC will be in effect from Jay to Stillwell on the Fox.
Testing is going to begin this December on the Queens Blvd line. You don’t think testing will take 3 years, do you?

But Forest Hills has to be the worst terminal to have trains terminating at. You obviously can't send them to Jamiaca Center, so 179th is the only viable option. What we can do is have some rush hour
And trains extended to 179th St, which is when the delays at Forest Hills start happening.
I find the worst delays to be after the rush hour when they’re trying to lay up everything so maybe send them to 179 an hour after the rush too

When CBTC on the Queens Blvd line is up and running, have the
go express in Queens to Forest Hills and go local all the way to 179th St with the (F). I haven’t done the math but the doesn’t run so frequently that CBTC on the express track wouldn’t be able to handle it, right? It makes no sense to run more trains on the local track if they’re just going to be backed up going into Forest Hills. But increase the headway on the to a reasonable amount for the time of day to pick up the slack from the . I don’t see the too crowded anyway, even in rush hour! 179th St is set up to be the best terminal in the system for turning around trains and they only use it for one line yet Forest Hills is backed up every day and they’re using it for two lines 🤔

Doesn't go much higher, only to $34.50. But it only takes 231(?) days of road service to get there

What do you mean eliminate the layups? Keep them in service all night and weekend?I heard Around 2018-2019 Jamaica is actually supposed to rehabbed their yard and expand it to add more subway cars as well as eliminating the weekend/late night layups.

With all the talk of East Side Access in the news this week, I was thinking maybe they should just do phase 3 first. On In Transit this week the guy said a lot of people are going to be jumping on the Lex line from the LIRR at Grand Central. But if phase 3 isn't built yet, the Lex is still going to be over capacity. That might be a big problem

That's when you post on every single B division line. Including the Franklin Ave Shuttle.
I didn't post on the Franklin Ave shuttle until I was OPTO qualified. Did that change?
