I don't remember the exact planes (I was too busy either eating, sleeping or freaking out about the damn turbulence, but I'll list some trips taken and the airlines:

-JFK to FCO (Leonardo da Vinci International Airport) (Rome Italy) - Delta

-FCO to FLR (Florence Airport, Peretola) (Florence, Italy) - Alitalia

-FCO to FRA (Frankfurt am Main Airport) (Frankfurt, Germany) - Alitalia

-FRA to JFK - Lufthansa

 

Since you’ve been to Italy, you’ve most likely been on a 767 or 777 (the planes with two aisles).

The B44+ actually needs around 30-35.

It still baffles me how the  terminated there for years and it took construction at the station for  trains to be extended back to Church Ave. It makes me wonder if they didn’t need to do that construction would the  still be terminating at Smith/ 9th Street. 

They were originally going to cut the  back to Smith-9 Sts once the Culver Viaduct rehab was complete but, it stayed at Church Av due to a lot of push and advocation from Park Slope residents. 

Plus, the structure needed repairs, so not doing it wasn’t an option.

Depends on the series. 

My personal favorites:

Naughty Dog: 

Crash Bandicoot series

Jak & Daxter series

Insomniac:

All three Spyro games

Nintendo:

Most Super Mario SNES games

Most N64 games (Banjo-Kazooie, DK64, Yoshi’s Story, etc)

EA: Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005)

Square Enix:

Final Fantasy X

Not sure if any of you guys are into aircraft, but what are some trips you’ve taken to any airports with any specific plane?

My trips:

JetBlue:

 A320/321: JFK-JAX, JFK-MCO, JFK-SDQ

American/Envoy:

EMB-145: PHL-LGA

A321: DFW ▶️ LGA

B737: JFK-CUN, JFK-DFW, EWR-DFW

B777: DFW ▶️ JFK

For those who aren’t familiar with the airport codes listed above:

JFK: New York-Kennedy

LGA: New York-LaGuardia

EWR: Newark, NJ

DFW: Dallas/Fort Worth, TX

PHL: Philadelphia, PA

JAX: Jacksonville, FL

MCO: Orlando, FL

CUN: Cancun, Mexico

SDQ: Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic

S51:  Current ridership and headways aren’t enough to warrant AM-S81 service. You don’t want people waiting 15-20 minutes at local stops.

S59: You’re underestimating ridership south of the mall. While it isn’t sky-high, buses don’t exactly carry air as I’ve seen northbound S59s with a fully seated load pulling into ETC. Remember, there are people going past the mall in both directions.

Normally, they don’t, but the past few weekends as well a few times this year, they’ve been running local due to planned work.

4105 also at WF.

Also a loaner.

9538 is still up and running. Spotted it working the 39. I believe this was one of the artics that was in an accident.

I still don't understand why NJT doesn't have a reserve/storage fleet. It's laughable that Nabi suburbans are on artic routed 13 and 39. It tells you how very short of buses they have and I guess some of their artics are beat up, therefore in the shop. Passengers are getting a special ride on those buses. Let's hope they know where the stop request push button is located

I guess it’s better to have a suburban bus cover a trip than to leave it missing and have passengers overcrowd the next bus. A few of their artics were in accidents not too long ago. I remember someone mentioning it here. 

It also happens in reverse. Yesterday evening, I caught 6392 on the 107X heading home.

5430 is currently on the 13. It’s very interesting to see a suburban NABI working local routes. I believe I saw 5409 doing the 39 yesterday. I know those aren’t moves as the routes and units do run out of Hilton, but I wanted to point that out.

As it was said earlier, we need to stop advocating or proposing service cuts. We already deal with horrendous service levels on some lines, so why do some posters here feel the need to reduce service as a means of fixing it? The system is far from perfect, however it can and should be improved without eliminating lines as a first choice.

Just because someone might think the part time services such as the  are “useless”, it doesn’t mean they should be drastically altered, have their service levels reduced, or just discontinued altogether. The lines mentioned above do play important roles.

Couldn’t be happier with less stops on the 13. The thing stops too much as is.

But, @GojiMet86 posted the following: Could this be a fleet swap from the ?

 

It’s not a fleet swap. The  borrowed R62s that weekend because it didn’t have access to its home yard.

Exactly. I was referring to the C. Although, I was surprised to see all those r160 M trains running on CPW.

I'll be in back in NYC. Will the M continue to run along CPW in future weekends?

Also, thanks @mine248 for sharing the latest update on the 10 car r179's. How many 10 car r179's are in total. (delivered plus testing/in service)?

My mistake. I misread your post. As for the  along CPW, it only ran up there as a supplement due to the  GO. If anyone is wondering, no, it will not become a normal thing.

I found an interesting r179 video on YouTube. I left NYC a few days ago (summer vacation) and I'm still out of town and I found this r179 video with the M trains running on CPW?? That's kind of odd. Lol!!

Anyways enjoy the clip.

 

Bro, the  trains in that video are all R160s. The only R179 is the  towards the end.

Interesting service plan. IDG why  didn’t run to Sheepshead Bay and was replaced by , or why  wasn’t short-turn to 86th St in favor of . Even if it was before moving  from Brighton, seems like this was doing more changes than necessary just because.

IIRC, the  tracks on the Manhattan Bridge were still undergoing repairs, so there was no way to run either service into Brooklyn.

So where did  run to when this was going on?

The  were cut back to 34 St.
