I thought they only used the 32s on the trash runs for the air conditioning.

Considering the MTA themselves once made GO posters that said th road -Courthouse Square....

the only tech that can prevent the subway from having service disruptions so that things can be maintained... is the Transporter. and guess what, even THAT requires maintenance!

you mean the republicans who created Amtrak in the first place? The republicans who have given NASA everything they’ve asked for these last few years? If Obama has his way when he was first elected, the ISS would be in a million pieces at the bottom of the ocean already. Take it from someone who is in the unenviable position of having the fringe elements of BOTH sides hate me; nether side is made up of saints. Nether side is somehow better than the other. When push comes to shove, they all suck.

The simple fact of the matter is we don’t trust the government to do a project in a timely and cost effective manner. NASA is getting shown up by SpaceX. the “Space Launch System” booster is several years behind schedule and was forced by several members of Congress to be a “Shuttle-Derived Launch vehicle” so their constituents automatically keep that NASA money rolling in, because they made the parts for the shuttle. CHSR is getting shown up by Virgin Trains. The entire 240 mile line from Miami to Orlando looks to open LONG before the 175 mile iso in California, aside from the fact the line in Florida actually goes places people want to go.

Signles that detect train speed, only showing green when the train is moving below a certain speed.

If you were on the median, then you would have been looking down at the express tracks. And if the 2 and 3 were not running, then you have youR answer.

First thing I would have checked for was a service distribution. The express tracks could have been out for work or down due to an emergency.

Saying “In December” comes across to me as a bit vague, since 11:59 on New Years Eve is as much December as 12:01 AM on the first. that’s also assuming they are rolling all those stops out at once. And if they stick to thier usual method of (and correct me if I’m wrong about this) bringing an entire complex online at once, Times Square-PABT is going to be a LOT of work.

I’m going to go out on a limb and assume that that’s a stock photo modified for the sake of having a picture in the shot because of that’s what they intend to install, they’re crazy.

So by that math, we're back up to averaging 10 new online stations a week, assuming starting December 1st and ending around Halloween.

Still, a little transparency goes a long way.

And while I’m on the subject, even though the idea is to get the system installed within a year, I would think it would be a good idea if they had some sort of mark for every station once it was brought online or a way of letting people know they can use it at that stop. i remember when Metrocard was created. Stations that accepted it were shown on the subway map highlighted, until install was completed.

So... um... we haven't like made anything official yet... but... long story short. I've got a girlfriend.

we should really break down the list into Base full module Active

OK, now we're getting somewhere.

My only question about having 86th for the SI buses is where are those riders heading to/coming from. Is it people who don’t want to take the ferry and can’t afford the Sims? (There is a terrible video game joke in there somewhere...) is it people being dispersed through southern Brooklyn? quite honestly, they would probably have seen a higher number of users from launch if St. George was included in the pilot program.

I'm guessing then that Times Square is going to need a phase all it's own.

Given the uniqueness of the Howard Beach’s fare control set up, I would actually expect that station to be one of the last ones, since you have three different gate lines to worry about and three different fares, not to mention the PA and Bombardier standing over your shoulders. Has there been much discussion on OMNY and AirTrain? I haven’t seen anything. Obviously they are going to do it, but I haven’t any mention of a timeline or anything.

They have noted in the past heavy usage of OMNY by visitors. I think they said in the first few months they saw authorizations for transactions from over 80 different countries. Maybe that’s what they’re aiming for?

That’s assuming the full rollout process begins next week, there are no delays and massive stations like TSQ don’t take up too much time. (PS. Read my signature)

To be fair, KFC does love the Japanese market (when Osaka isn’t chucking Col. Sanders into a canal...)

You’re assuming they actually created a program. Unless they have finally gotten around to updating the process (you never know with the MTA) the trains have to be brought into the shop and be hooked up to a special computer (I’ve seen the one that was at East 180th), something that takes time to cycle through. you are assuming they had time to do all that.

If they want to complete their stated goal of “system wide by the end of 2020” they need to bring an average of about 7 new stations online each week for the next 14 months.

Because they have to manually install the program in each unit. some service changes, like the M on CPW, are so rare, what’s the point of having to reprogram ENY’s entire roster for a reroute that’s only going to be used for a few days? I mean, they knew about the 2010 changes months ahead of time, and yet most of the NTTs ran announcements and finds off for the first few weeks until their inspection turns came up, after the changes went into effect.
