Alon doesn't pull that information out of his ass. Time savings from EMU acceleration and deacceleration vs. Diesel performance has been studied thoroughly. Has it crossed your minds that maybe American railroad experts aren't as great as as Japanese or European railroad experts?...

Is there a way for me to get a specific train car number for a specific subway trip from the GTFS feed? I can see trip_id, but that doesn't tell me if it was car 9033 or 8667.

I tried accesing the service change map for this weeked, but I was directed to the MTA's internal mercury page: https://mercury.mta.info/nyct-subway/planned-work/7670

Delays trains are running with delays in both directions after multiple incidents along the line. What Happened? Emergency teams responded to someone struck by a train at 59 St (Brooklyn) We moved a train that had it's emergency brake cord pulled near 39 Av (Queens) We addressed a mechanical problem on a train at 23 St (Manhattan). EMS responded to a passenger in need of medical assistance at Atlantic Av-Barclays Ctr Posted: 12/12/2022 10:38PM

The are in a bit of a sh*tshow right now. There was both a track fire and a train with mechanical problems at Chambers Street, along with a train with emergency brakes activated for a person who needed medical help at West 4th Street (that is what is written). MTA just says avoid these lines.

Wondering what the numbering for the New Flyers would be.

Nope, it's still running. You can check on Transloc and see buses still moving: https://sct.transloc.com/

Saw this video of Redbird 9075 getting taken off property.

So what is 26001? Ugh, it messes with my OCD, lol!

That's gonna be a hell of a transit and shuttle operator behemoth. First Transit is also very big in the UK (it started out as Badgerline in the city of Bristol); this is the French taking over the English.

I've heard the announcement change on the Jamaica R160Bs as well, so it's not just on the Lexington line trains.

If you're doing this from a computer, don't copy the url of post; rather copy the url of the image. Go directly over the image, right click the image, and click on "Copy image address". Then paste that. So instead of thisurl : imgur.com/vEtWI3n You end with a url that looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/vEtWI3n.jpeg When you copy it and paste it directly here, it should automatically convert it into the photo:

West 8th Street, Sheepshead Bay, Kings Highway, and Beverley Road are also pretty good stations on the Brighton. On the West End, 9th Avenue is a must. 18th Avenue is pretty good, although I fan the Brighton way more, so I can't speak for other West End stops. 34th Street-Herald Square has enough space on specific ends. It gets harder with the 1/2/3/4/5/6 because the platforms are almost exactly the same length as the trains. I do think South Ferry has decent space.

I heard Alabama had been added for the workers at ENY Yard and the depot.

The exact same photo, except with a , also from the NY Post.

Luggage bays are opened at stations, so the bay doors are not sticking out on the road, which would be disastrous. Racks on the sides of a moving bus would be a dangerous animal.

The and run more 46s now than R68As and R68s. There was a shift some months ago when I noticed this.

I was on the behind, they sent us local.

Happens a lot when they cross the Queensboro bridge. I've seen it with the Q101 and Q32.

It's not much of a money grab of this is rarely enforced though, is it? It's actually not as enforced as it should be. When the speed limit was higher (before Vision Zero), many people were still speeding, and enforcement was just as lax. When the first bus lanes came into service, people said the same thing the city using them as money grabs. Fast forward to today, and enforcement is nonexistent and buses still struggle, especially along 125th Street. Not much of a cash grab there. All this fuss about nothing. Almost like someone has driver's backs within DOT...... Imagine building these highways in the 1960s and 1970s through low-income East New York, Williamsburg, and Maspeth. Yes, let's bulldoze hundreds and hundreds of apartment buildings, houses, and homes. That would have destroyed these neighborhoods. Each time these highway genuises built them, the excuse was always that they would reduce congestion. Years later, each of those highways became saturated, and traffic was brought to standstill. Then these geniuses would justify the construction of more highways because of that congestion. And this pattern repeated. I guarantee that these unbuilt expressways would have been as congested as the BQE is today. Then what would have been the excuse? I'm on board with this, although I am not very optimistic with the whole idea that a majority car drivers would take transit if only transit was better. Realistically, it would be marginal. I already see people complaining about having too many big bulky buses on the road. That is legit something I have heard from drivers I've been with. "If only there weren't that many buses on the road, we would have more space".

"So my point is really the congestion on the BQE is worse than in Manhattan where they will be charging because traffic is supposedly so bad there." He thinks the city is lying through its teeth about CBD congestion, that's what I have a problem with. I walk around Midtown and stand on the corners to observe too often to just simply ignore that part. My man cherry-picks too much.
