  1. I get no problem when opening it right now, might be a cache or cookie thing?
  2. The MTA will be ending the real-time service alert Twitter because Twitter is asking $50,000 month for the API. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-04-27/new-york-mta-ends-twitter-service-alerts-after-musk-raises-price
  3. Don't ask the official NYCT twitter for the location of a specific trains. That is a twitter page for real information, not for wasting resources to placate teenage railfans.
  4. Yeah, the Brooklyn Navy Yard uses the Grande West Vicinity, but a 30-foot version. These ones are the newer 38-foot model.
  5. I'm keeping a personal roster, eventually to be put on the CPTDB. There are at least two different operators doing work for LAAMCO at LaGuardia: ERMC Aviation Services. They have at least 6 Grande West Vicinity buses and operate the Terminal C Employee shuttle. R&N Car Service. These guys have a bunch of ARBOC Spirit of Equess, at least one D35LF from Milton Transit District, and some D40LF from Phoenix Valley Metro. They also inherited the 12 blue XD40 that Golden Touch (RIP) used for the JFK Delta Jitney. R&N is responsible for the Terminal A & B Employee shuttle.

  7. Andy Byford is joining Amtrak as executive VP to help oversee high-speed rail development. https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/03/23/exclusive-andy-byford-to-join-amtrak/
  8. 50 buses are more than enough to replace the 28~30 D4000s that are left. Although I do wonder if NJT is thinking of taking over the DeCamp lines, maybe at reduced service. In that case, they would still need some buses.
  9. For those keeping track of the new shuttle designations, there is a J90 (J shuttle from Crescent to Jamaica-Van Wyck) now trackable on BusTime, now joining the J99, L90, L92, and Q93. That's an Orion V (05.503) that used to run for DASH in Alexandria, VA. I spotted it back in January. Sounds like it hasn't moved an inch. IMG_6642 by GojiMet86, on Flickr
  10. A little preview of the Class 777s (and therefore the MARTA trains):
  11. It would have been nice if the MTA had installed the elevators at Broadway during its ESI renovation in 2018......
  12. Northern route buses will head south on 169th Street, pull into the terminal at their respective shelters, run west, and exit unto 168th Street. Southern route buses will head north on 168th Street, pull into the terminal at their respective shelters, run east, and exit unto 169th Street. The bus lanes from north to south (90th Avenue to 91st Avenue): The first platform with about 7 bus shelters for NICE buses. Looks like there will be one dedicated shelter for articulated buses. One westbound bypass lane for NICE buses, with a little layover. The second platform, for MTA, will be shorter, with a stand for NICE dispatchers, a couple of shelters, and drop-off points. This will be followed by one westbound bypass for north routes, and one eastbound bypass for south routes. Next is the third platform, which will have MTA buses on both sides. South routes will board on the northern side, while northern routes board on the southern side of this platform. This will be followed by one westbound bypass for north routes, and one eastbound bypass for south routes. Finally is the fourth platform, also for MTA, which will serve southern routes. https://new.mta.info/document/104706
  13. You can post the image directly here by right-clicking the image itself and copying the image address (which is not the same as copying and pasting the url link), then pasting it.

  15. Lemme ask you guys this. When has adding more lanes and highways incentivized people to take the subway or bus?......
  16. Many DOT studies from other states all point to the same problem with adding highway lanes. That's why even Texas, the most car friendly state, is slowing down these projects. I guarantee adding back those lanes will make things even worse than they are now.
  17. Adding more lanes is just going to intice more people to fill up those lanes. It has been proven time and time again that all that does is increase traffic congestion.
  18. That is what I deal with when I come back from work. Two weeks ago there was a very bad night where I waited 20 minutes for any Astoria train, while seeing about seven trains pass by. I've often missed both trains, then I have to wait another 8 minutes for the next batch of trains, the first which is usually stuffed. What also sucks is the upper level only has one countdown clock dedicated for the Astoria lines, and it is right around the north end of the northbound 4th car position (a 75-footer). However, there are about 4-5 for the . Anyone who wants to check the time has to walk to find the lone Astoria countdown.
  19. Saw an Access-A-Ride paratransit van (5941 for Maggie's Transportation) with the new blue and yellow scheme.

  21. What's incorrect about saying diesel engines have slower acceleration than EMUs? That's a fact. These is the same LIRR that has refused for decades to electrify the Port Jefferson and Oyster Bay lines. And they want to buy those new diesel engines and only 20 new coaches. They also cancelled that BEMU project.
  22. They are looking at 90-01 168th Street for the new site, which is the parking lot between 90th and 91st Avenues, and 168th and 169th Streets. This is right behind Marshalls and Reymour Flannigan. This will actually be closer to the train that 165th Street was. Looks like Jamaica Avenue and Hillside buses will come up 168th and go down 169th.
