  1. Assuming these take a decade and change to show up, the R143s will be approaching their mid 30s. At that point they'll be able to start RFPs for 143 replacements so that they can arrive when the 143s are in their mid 40s. Then the 160s will be approaching their mid 30s and the cycle continues...
  2. It's only happenng on Saturday from 8:30 to 3pm. Whatever it is, they want it done ASAP. I also wonder why they wouldn't do it overnight on Saturday and supplement with extra trains on CPW and shuttle buses on Concourse.
  3. It’s easy to play armchair QB, but society would’ve been better off had the driver ran him over and claimed self defense
  4. Wow - trains running via Broadway Lcl and Whitehall this week. I don't recall ever seeing that.
  5. I would get an OMNY card but I'm not going out of my damn way to find one. A competent transit agency would already have vending machines for these f#ckin things in stations. And I'm with you... I avoid using my CC on those readers like the plague. Haggling with the CC company over $2.75 is a lose-lose proposition. You don't want to spend this time and energy getting 2.75 back but you don't want to just throw it away on an agency that'll light the money on fire. Ugh.
  6. Wow.. opposite experiences. Never had an issue with my EasyPay, but OMNY looooves to double charge by accident Back when I took PATH and used the SmartLink card every day, I would tap my whole damn wallet aganst the reader - if you have a brain fart and do the same with OMNY it will either reject you or charge every single card in your wallet 😪
  7. I was using the EasyPayXpress MetroCard, not OMNY. I’m pretty sure drivers are still in charge of setting the OG fare box correctly, as KDGallagher alluded to
  8. I consider it an small present from the MTA I wonder how much the OMNY users were charged
  9. Here's an interesting tidbit... I took the BM3 last week and I noticed on my EasyPay statement that my card was only charged $2.75. Guess the operator set up the farebox incorrectly.
  10. Lord knows the number of issues our city is dealing with yet the Assembly stays wasting their time renaming subway stations in honor of irrelevant colleges
  11. They just want to avoid having to wash those filthy trains
  12. Actually, you're right. 5551 is a B car. NYT is saying this was the second car of the northbound train., https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/04/12/nyregion/brooklyn-train-station-shooting-maps.html
  13. I doubt the C/R had any idea what was going on. Those shitty tin cans don't have intercoms and this was supposedly the last car of the train.
