  1. This isn’t Twitter, my friend. You can speak full sentences without worrying about character count.
  2. Aside from the fact I don’t trust TikTok as far as I can throw it, that is not the same thing. People rent out our facilities all the time to film stuff, that’s not the same thing as paying us to run a public passenger service.
  3. No, not. HEET or an Iron Maden.. PATCO uses gates more like what they installed at Supthin-Archer, just… taller. http://www.ridepatco.org/schedules/freedom_reduced_fare.html
  4. What subway were you taking because we never had “gates” like PATCO’s…
  5. "in the past 24 hours" yes. In the past 48 hours it's at least the fourth.
  6. Something a lot of people forget… A barrier only stops people who want to be stopped…
  7. I mean, it’s the best place for testing CBTC integration to the 211s at full speed. Sure we can test on yard tracks, but that’s at low speed and nothing beats a 3 mile flat out run to see how it all works together. And our only other option for that would be to wire up the flats and they’re not worth the effort.
  8. Jamaica familiarization… survey says? X
  9. Cause someone made a mistake typing that. The people in control who post this stuff are human, they make mistakes i was caught up in this. Working the extended M, sat at Myrtle Broadway for an hour. Eventually worked my way up to Hewes and was turned around at Marcy middle. Ran back to Metro in service from Hewes.
  10. West 4th tower doesn’t control anything anymore under normal circumstances. It has been superseded by 34 Master. 2nd avenue, however, is under a different tower, Essex Street Master.
  11. About a month from now will be another L shutdown between Lorimer and 8th, meaning another weekend M through midtown, this time back to 96th/2nd
  12. You know the answer, you just need to think about it. Maybe a light will flash when you think hard enough, it might even flash green…
  13. currently riding home on 4065 as north motor. at least her half of the train has the platform side lights; though the ceiling sign still says “doors open”
  14. No it does not, not in the sense I was aiming for. The tunnel is the default, the bridge is running express. imagine if there were stations on the Manhattan bridge and it’s approaches. Imagine if Myrtle Ave was still open. That’s what I’m talking about. that is painting with an extremely wide brush. Unfortunately, not everyone is that smart. Some of them are so set in thier ways that even the most minor change throws them for a loop. as for the rest: it cuts service frequency to Queensbridge, Roosevelt Island and Lexington-63rd, because the M can never match the E and F for frequency (Williamsburg bridge) it gives riders at those stations longer journeys into queens along with the shorter, more crowded trains. You think someone used to “next stop Roosevelt Avenue” is going to be happy with 36th? It keeps the G a two transfer connection to the QBL locals as it is now due to the GO, since court square will only have expresses, meaning anyone who wants 36th to 65th will have to crowd in the E and F the one stop and then wait for the R at the plaza. In summer 2001, over two weekends, transit simulated rush hour service. One weekend had the F staying on 53rd and the then V running via 63rd. Then it was flipped for the second weekend. the F went via 63rd once the connection opened full time for a reason.
  15. Given how much of a cluster F the 179s were, late, breaking down, doors opening while moving, breaking apart… Would ordering more of them make anything that resembles sense to the people making those decisions?
  16. I mean, there are only thirteen 10 car trains worth of 179s in existence, and they have started using the 179s out at Rockaway Park… so… they were never super abundant to begin with.
  17. The operations planning people want route consistency as much as reasonably possible. The N running via the bridge during the day vs the tunnel at night does not add new stops, it’s effectively just running on an express shortcut. move the F back and forth between 63rd street and 53rd (unless you expand M service which is a whole other can of worms) every day is not something they condone at this time, especially at this time while CBTC East work is still ongoing. i mean, it took the better part of 60 years for someone to say “you know, maybe the M should at least go to Essex street on the weekend at very least”*, sending it back to Queens is going to take a lot of justification to get people to agree with the idea. (*I still complain openly that the Myrtle el, which for the record is my home line, is the only two transfer to midtown zone at night, but that’s a rant for another day)
  18. the CBTC project is going to be going on for a while, so they're writing it into the work program.
  19. My sleep tests were more of a formality. Doctor took one look at my throat and said it was narrow, and basically diagnosed me right then and there.
  20. Would like to clarify we call it posting because you are not “Shadowing” them, you’re the one expected to do the brunt of the work. I took two students a couple days apart, little over a week ago. And out of those two day, I did the doors only once, and that was to show that one student what it looks like once you get comfortable with your operations.
