Yeah! This sucks. I had to walk an extra avenue to access the ! It’s not like the they’ve got easy access to all the transfers that the has between World Trade Center and 7 Avenue! (/s)

lol… not looking good for midday southbound service right now on the . Every single route with a delay has it in the southbound direction.

The time-honored tradition of peering down the tunnel to see if a train is coming apparently does not work at 34 Street–Penn Station ()… looking into the tunnel, trains coming in southbound aren’t always apparent until they are already entering the station.

Funny, because that was partly the reason for the missed transfer. Those doors were kept open for a few seconds longer—just long enough for the conductor across the platform to give us the (figurative) middle finger.

Ah… the indignities one has to suffer through for a non-one-seat ride… missing the first cross-platform transfer by 3 seconds, then missing the second one (backup transfer point) by a minute, and then getting held for a train to cross ahead. Now I gotta walk two avenues across town. Can’t blame people for holding on to their one-seat ride so strongly now…

Works for the Christians who repent on their deathbed. Being on trackbed though…

“Congratulations!” …if you’re able to simply walk to work. I’m still iffy on the driving and bussing. This Spectrum tech is coming to Hudson Yards/Chelsea right now from LIC, and he’s taking 50 minutes just to cross the East River and a few avenues, then another 15 minutes to find parking. My train on the other hand, made the trip in 20 minutes.

If it’ll raise the bar for effort required to get a body onto the tracks, it’s probably good enough. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A “fix” usually begins with a statement of the problem (or problems) that needs to be solved. None of your proposals thus far have been prefaced or postfaced with the problems they are fixing. Other forum members were kind enough to explain why not, and after five rounds of rejections it’d behoove you to set the bar a little higher and give your ideas some legs to stand on.

I live in Midtown Manhattan now and I go to work basically in the opposite direction of where everybody else is going: away from the central business district. So I get on the train in the AM and it gets less and less crowded until I get off. In the PM, the train gets more and more packed as I get closer to home. It used to be the opposite. I don’t think I can quite get used to this reversal.

Yeah… but both platforms though? There are no island platforms along that segment, and the entrances are separate. If the trains are passing through to turn, they can definitely serve one or the other platform at each of the traversed stations.

Interesting choice of end stations… There are no switches to turn back trains in either direction from 103 Street to 125 Street (inclusive). It’s hard to turn trains normally between Dyckman Street and 242 Street too given that they are all side platforms and the switches aren’t all there for that kind of operation, but the segment is short enough for single-tracking.

Canal Street (), Prince Street (), and 59 Street () are like this too. I’m curious how Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue could possibly be the exception to this issue and why it could not be applied to other way stations. and train could enter on tracks 2 and 3 simultaneously without stopping. Same for the and on tracks 6 and 7 or the and on tracks 4 and 5.

You’re taking at face value that these proposals were meant to fix something. This tells you everything you need to know about the motivation: I’d start by asking what “fix” means.

Avoid Broadway local north bound … conga line of local trains to 34 Street so far.

But its very existence would threaten the probability of building the straight tunnel to the Bronx. We’re talking about the same agency which admits a “no build” option as a viable choice in its studies. As long as a cheaper option exists, it will be the favored excuse for procrastinating on the real Bronx SAS extension.

Supposing this were the case… if this doesn’t bring down the ban hammer of justice on the miscreants, nothing will…

That can’t be great for rush hours… I’m assuming they have to turn some at Avenue X too to avoid congestion.

That would be some epic trolling. After a century, the solution would be to make people around 3 Avenue walk/bus to Grand Concourse, then take the roundabout trip crosstown to St. Nicholas Avenue (8 Avenue) and back again to 2 Avenue. Moreover, because there is no Phase 3, the train just veers off course right back to the west side of Manhattan (7 Avenue) before veering east again along Broadway. “There is your solution, folks! Take it or leave it. There’s no more incentive to build the real thing now.”

Seeing cops catch fare evaders at both Coney Island entrances puts a smile on my face. They are finally cracking down. 🥲 A third one who had just entered through the gate saw the cops giving the chase to the guy before him and noped out of there. 😂

If she did not acquiesce to the threat, maybe the gunman would not have gotten onto the train to threaten the passengers too? The conductor made a very stupid decision there to put her passengers at risk.

Ah. How typical in New York.
