With CBTC, I would say just shut down one half of the tunnel and take advantage of bidirectional operation to operate the remaining pair of tracks on one side of the tunnel as if it were just double-tracked. No need to make all trains express or all trains local when any track an operate trains in any direction. The caveat is that the switches must be in place for that kind of operation. Queens Boulevard is full of them and the eastern stretch of Fulton Street, all of Culver, and Central Park West.

Just wondering… how convenient is it for night time commuters starting end ending along lines that have 3 services running at night? Does it work out to average waits during daytime in practice? Times Square–42 Street and 96 Street DeKalb Avenue and 36 Street

I’m not understanding the logic where CBTC gets installed. Shouldn’t CBTC be installed around the choke point-heavy segment from 42 Street–Times Square to DeKalb Avenue where the junction is the key factor in train throughput? OR am I understanding the purpose of CBTC wrong?

He meant “hardly working.” 😉

Shovels, my man. If there aren’t any in the ground, there is nothing happening. Even with shovels, you could still end up with boondoggles like the unused infrastructure for SAS.

It only takes a leg to kick someone off the platform. And last I heard… metal detectors let those pass right through.

Saw last week at Jay Street–MetroTech: tall late-twenties white blonde dude in a suit just hopped the turnstile. Everyone is doing it. Time to stock up on more scorn and derision.

Legalize corporal punishment in schools too. The young‘ns don’t get enough ROI for their shit behavior.

Is it really the IND if it’s built post-unification?

There are ROWs which predate even the BMT. The Sea Beach and Brighton lines, for example, were formerly used by railroads. If you wanted the nuance, you’d have a pretty colorful map.

Don’t forget that the 36 Street shooter’s YouTube channel had 1k followers at the time it was outed on the news. Then it became 2.8k when I went to check the next day. Expect copycat more attacks.

in the other direction this weekend: to 36 Av 👀

When the train is straight, but since it's open, they can patrol the whole length of the train with few obstacles in the way.

Then he pussied out and left, leaving the cops wondering why he was not at McDonald's, but got seen anyway by someone else.

Don't they mean ? They've generally been consistent in that they only use letters/numbers of trains running at that time. Since the doesn't run there at 2 AM, it's not the line.

They say he called a tip on himself. Does he still collect an award? 😂

You decide if it was racist, or misogynist, or just plain unhinged: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCtl9pjnppooRbj_YssCKxsA That, there, is his YouTube channel. He has seemingly had thoughts for a long time about killing people.

I gotta pay attention to this tomorrow and see what’s accessible…

That comment did not age well in retrospect. 😅

Kinda inconsistent if they only do it to some trains. I know which trains I won’t be taking to work now. Getting to the station earlier for the even if it takes a bit longer to detour around my destination.

I got into the system at 15 Street–Prospect Park around 6 PM. Seeing the huge service gap and cascade of trains piling up at Jay Street–MetroTech, I was pretty sure they would send all those late trains express. I took a one stop north to 7 Avenue for the incoming s. I was not disappointed. Weirdly, they must have sent a via Culver too, because at the terminal, there was a on Track 5.

No alert about the on Saturday night (9:00 PM) having smoke condition at Metropolitan Avenue? I was there. The south end of the station had smoke and smelled like a barbeque (minus the good food smell).

Last weekend was great. Brighton express from Sheepshead Bay all the way to Prospect Park. Took the back express from Smith–9 Streets to Kings Highway. Trains were hauling ass. Unfortunately got the upcoming weekend, the is only express from Sheepshead Bay to Kings Highway and probably comes with a lot of flagging. The quasi- makes a return, but is a 4 Avenue local in both directions. Looks like we’re only going to save time on the express this weekend…

Like with cockroaches, when the weather gets warm, they come out of hiding and you can find them all over the place.
