because that's something called "Logic"... and we plebs are not allowed to use logic on our own, we must accept the logic of our God Emperor Cuomo.

Same argument I had with them about what happens when a train has to be taken out of service after 1 AM, hasn't finished it's run and there's trains behind it with passengers still on. I used logic of "let them on the following trains, the didn't want to get off." They just said orders are orders, they have to leave. 

Well, they could always do something overnight... make use of the time.

The long and the short of is his royal majesty, the Emperor Cuomo, decided something to do something about the state of the subway... and gave them a weekend to figure out how to do it.

the plan’s flaws are more numerious than it’s benefits. Once 1 AM hits, the trains are exit only. Not the just stations, the trains two. I actually asked them what would happen if a train had to be taken OOS after 1AM but before it got to the last stop.

if there was a train with passenger behind the stalled one, would the passengers on the first train be allowed on the second.

They said NO. The trains are exit only. It would seem the passengers were to be left to their own devices and told to get out of the station.  Now, since they did not get off the train be choice, a reasonable plan would make an exception, considering this is practically a cardinal sin. More so when you consider this may be a violation of the ADA.

consider this... an F has to be removed from service at Smith/9th. Passengers are told they have to get off and leave the station... and one of them happens to be in a wheelchair...

are they so stubborn in their rules to have to carry this poor sap all the way down the stairs instead of letting them get on another train?

this is what you do when you plan something 

step 1: “How many ways can this go wrong?”

step 2: “How many ways can this go wrong... that I didn’t think of  at step 1?”

... the OMNY website, it’s right on the front page.

OMNY expansion halted due to virus. Then again, they did complete the March list anyway.

Aside from that:

ADD: Main Street, 111th Street, 90th Street and 61st Street.

Supposedly these are to replace the gates. Don’t know how they’re going to work on exit or in an emergency.

they mentioned it on Twitter as a prototype. The finished model will take OMNY and MetroCard.

I’m guessing this is at the “Alpha” build stage.

ADD: Broadway Junction, Liberty Avenue, Van Siclen Avenue, Shepard Ave and Euclid Avenue.

the C now joins the list of completely activated lines and the J/Z and L get their first stations in Brooklyn.

and.... this just in.... ADD... Mets-Willets Point! Finally another station in Queens... completely useless at the moment... but at least we who live in the World’s Borough have another...

Nick... I’m guessing you’ve never worked retail...

stores will often have something they sell to encourage you to shop there or to spend even more money.
 

I used to work at Staples. We sold our printers at cost in the hope you’d buy ink from us in the future.

Metrocard Merchants sell the cards in the hopes that while you’re in there, you’ll also get a coffee and a bagel or something.

you’ve also forgotten that all Metrocard Merchants have a little sign in the window with a picture of a Metrocard.

According to OMNY.info...

ADD: Hoyt-Schermerhorn, Lafayette, Clinton-Washington and Franklin

The G has it’s first OMNY station along with the Franklin Shuttle.

and Longwood is still not listed as complete.

We already know what you would suggest...

There is chatter going ether way at the moment.

The new OMNY fare card was previously apparently planned (according to PCAC) to be sold only in non-MTA places, mainly retailers. I objected in a letter to the MTA CEO, because store markups would likely add $10-20 per new card or refill for low-income riders, or $120 to $1,040 a year above what the MTA would collect from retailers. However, now it's said that OMNY cards will also be sold by the MTA in MTA facillities, like the MetroCard is now.

Two things:

A: I don't know what you were reading because that was always the plan.

B: Stores can't charge markups for MetroCard, why would they be able to charge markups for pre-loaded OMNY?

The prepaid OMNY cards in stores will roll out first because it will take time to upgrade/replace the vending machines.

Sounds about right to me @Jova42R

It’s a little off for two reasons:

Reason 1: Park Place on the 2/3 was brought online when Chambers St/World Trade Center was, since it’s once complex.

reason 2:....

(clears throat)

ADD: Wall Street, Clark Street & Hoyt Street

unless Longwood Ave was just forgotten on the map, the entire mainline IRT north of Atlantic is online.

I think his argument is to eliminate the in city zones and just have them with a general fare.

but at the same time, by that logic, shouldn’t we also be dropping express bus fairs? Let everyone ride wherever they want.

(that sound you just heard was every express bus rider having an aneurism... forget being possessive of their system, they get possessive of particular seats.)   

I think I'm going to make something out of that quote the one guy gave from Mayor LaGuardia, because it's spot on the nose, there are some things that partisan politics just do NOT belong in. 

Update, they’re all online, 110th to 148th.

... and Longwood is STILL not on yet.

as of today, that and the 2/3’s Wall Street are the only IRT stations in their respective boroughs not yet ready according to the OMNY official list.

Reports on twitter show at least one of the Lennox Ave stations are online. 

I don't mean Carle Place, I mean more like Great Neck sneaking over to Little Neck or Valley Stream to Rosedale.

This is all besides the point that Jsun is right, the suburban commuters view the railroad as theirs, it's their only choice to get to the city that doesn't involve a highway. They'd take about as much offense that me, the pasty white Irish lass that I am, would be getting on the train for so much less then they paid as they would anyone else, and like I said, their fares would almost certainly go UP to cover it. 

In this sense, the Overground is not exactly the best yardstick, given it's design isn't mostly around London, not into and out of save the trains out of Liverpool Street and the Watford DC Line. 

Gun Hill on the Dyre Line is on, the 5 is now active from the Bronx all the way to downtown Brooklyn.

(still no Longwood Ave on the 6...)
