  1. When will the 6 line get its new cars back? I ride the 6 evryday and it doesent matter wat time I seem to get on 95% chance Ur gonna get an R62...The AC is sooo much better on the 142s and not to mention you can acually hear the announcement as to the 62..which is barlely audible at best. Damn that 7 swap out lol Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  2. Sad that just one or two people can kill a billion dollar badly needed project..This is why it will be another 10 yrs till it gets done Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  3. Made my way up 2 avenue las nite after work around 5 PM...Got on at 63/Lex and I cant beilve how diffrent it looks with that bright ass orange wall gone lol...the cross platform transfer makes it almost a new station in itself!. I ended catching a rush hour "N" and it was a somewhat slow ride but It was rush hour and I found out there was a investigation at Lex/59 sending ALL "N"s to 96...Nice additional reroute option for dispatch lol..I will say this though...All 3 of the stations look EXACTLY the same minus artwork here and there but those Mezzanines Were VERY Unnesecary...People already kno he drill...Either all the up front or all the way in the back to actually exit...There are no Mid station exits and it just seems that they couldve shaved easily 2 Billion and 3 years off the project if it wasnt for those mezzanines...Isnt Half the system full of closed off mezzanines anyway??? So minus the nit needed mezz it looks great...and the tail tracks North run Deep! To at least 106 it looks like...Not sure why the 2 phase costs more when u already have tunnels built as to just deadending at 96. Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app
  4. Was doin some thinkin about the future bronx extension if it ever gets built in my lifetime but heres a very intresting proposal Albeit it VERY expensive...I would peg it it around 10 Billion...BUT Well worth it....Here me out..apologize for the length... We all kno it will be built to connect with the 2/5/6 but what about the 4???? So I was lookin at google maps and came up with this.. Leaving 3 ave/138 st the line curves north west to align with the 149/GC 4 Platforms Yet below the 2/5 platforms obviously This station would be situated directly below the Metro north tracks right before the split of the harlem and hudson line...With the transfer connecting to the 2/5 platforms at the eastern end...possibly an direct connection at the south end of the platforms to the 4... Imagine the benefit of having the TWO direct ways into the east OR west side and Brooklyn...This new station/connection would EASILY Become the Bronx busiest station overtaking 161/yankee stadium (which still dont add up to me but whatever lol) ALSO...leaving the 149 st/GC Station heading north the line would be 2-3 tracks curving East onto 153 st to get back to 3 avenue and head north as planned BUT to take advantage of some open space above Due north From the metro north split to 156 st bet concourse village and the metro north harlem line tracks you could build a new undergorund yard of at least 10-15 tracks since youre already deep underground...Providing capacity for the entire line and taking pressure off exisiting yards.,,Tell me this wouldnt be a DOPE Idea Lol... HAPPY NEW YRS MY FREINDS...
  5. I honestly dont think there should be a 125/Lex Stop UNLESS its officially gonna go across 125 st to at least st nich with the respected transfer points. Otherwise the line needs to head up to the Bronx up 3 ave for the 2/5/6 transfer...and even further up 3 ave in the future. Yes it involves another underwater tunnel but it would be most beneficial in my eyes..2 ave practically lines up with 3 ave in the bronx and the harlem river is barely half a mile wide if that Sent from my iPhone using NYC Transit Forums mobile app

  12. What do you Mean "it has been always Hard especially from A crew standpoint"? Whats the issue with staffing the Rush Hour 5s? They all end in the yard and go outta service..Albeit Ive seen some fo express 180- to 241and changed into 2s...But what Gives? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. O wow...this is intresting indeed....expalins alot and thanks for all the details....i rest my case officially...
  14. Well Its Nice for those who can afford 12 Bucks Roundtrip a day on the BXM11...While it does run pretty frequently cuz I see it Often...its still 12 Bucks roundtrip...And Subject to Traffic which at some point there always is...Like I said Before Previously...People are Not used to having the Option to go to the Eastside Becuase it was NEVER set up that way...Lets say The 5 was the "main" line and you hadda transfer at 180 for the westside Then People up this way wud just be used to that service pattern...I dont See Why the westside is more Important than the East...There both in the CBD Seperated By mere blocks when you reach 42...Its like the folks on Eastern Parkways In Brooklyn...You get access to either or...Gues thas askin too much up here in the Bx...But I Get it...No 5 service Outside of what WPR Already sees...

  15. I dont see the Issue at hand...Theres always "Gaps" in service even outside Rush hour so whas the big deal with the dyre line? Its the first to go when somethin goes wrong down the line...like fri with the rail condition at 96 st...The 2 was rerouted down Lex and the 5 shuttled 180-Dyre...I still find 180-241 More Important...Even in the rush hour With the 238 5s ...Dyre see a train every 6-8 minutes...And Ive even been on 238 bound 5s that get rerouted to Dyre at 180...to my dismay...its always a 50/50 shot with these nereid 5s...When you get to 180th you see people get off and wait for the 2 becuase 50 percent of the time it may either go thru as scheduled to or run express to Gun hill then 241 or lastly a reroute to dyre...It just seems the 5 along WPR is a pain to operate from the dispatchers point...So I Guess the 2 it is...
