  1. Hi, I'm not active on here on anymore. I will DM you to discuss further.
  2. Listen I asked you to stop tagging me and it seems like you have a hard time understanding. I am not interested in speaking with you. If you continue to harass me, I will speak with the mods. No means no. Stop tagging me. This is the second time I'm saying it. ----- @IceBreaker768 For every person that wants an express bus down the LIE, there is someone else that has complained about buses being stuck on the LIE (some QM5 trips do use the LIE back to Queens), so everyone has their opinion about which way routes should go. For that reason I don't get into that discussion because someone will always complain. You asked the question about why it goes the way it goes back to Queens and I hope I answered it. That's the routing it has had for years and some take the LIE as the standard route (Super Express trips) and others here and there to avoid traffic, but it isn't set in stone because the LIE has its own problems at times, so there is no perfect route.
  3. I'm still working on that and the Stop Requested screen issues.
  4. Oh please. Metro-North has a similar attitude and their focus is on serving the suburbs and monied areas of the City that take Metro-North. It's a commuter railroad, not a subway and yes the focus is on riders going to Manhattan. What a insane idea.
  5. Yeah morning rush hour bus from Riverdale. Chicken supposedly hopped on the bus at the depot with the driver in Yonkers.
  6. Yes because in the Queens Redesign those buses wouldn't make stops west of 188th St. That is not the case now.
  7. Yeah, I just said. It's the normal route and has been for years. That's like asking why the buses take the Queensborough bridge going to Queens and the Midtown Tunnel going to Manhattan. lol
  8. Queens Blvd is the regular route back to Queens, that's why.
  9. One person is in custody and the other two have been identified. NYPD Hate Crimes is also investigating. Hopefully the people that think this isn't a big deal realize that you can't go around doing stuff like this. https://abc7ny.com/subway-attack-nyc-autism-suspects-identified/12957070/?ex_cid=TA_WABC_FB&utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A Trending Content&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook&fbclid=IwAR2PRIiFMZV--2wpoAeGvAGirVhhWDrxWGvhDVv7OcK9yxdKzncaZijzdJw
  10. I can't speak for the , but I can say that I have heard that the upfront cost of the OMNY card has been a discussion and a concern, because it is expensive for some people. $5.00 for the purchase of the card +$1.00 to load it over the course of seven years (which is when the OMNY card expires) is pretty cheap, but because there have been complaints, they may revisit the cost structure.
  11. You can get a new OMNY card and OMNY can put your balance from the old card onto the new one. I'm pretty sure you have your OMNY card linked to your OMNY account online, no? If so then OMNY can see the card. I would call them and alert them accordingly.
  12. Yeah it's pretty wild. You know what's funny to me is that I can only recall one time in all of the years that I have taken the subway where I have seen a railfan taking photos or whatever and that was several years ago at Columbus Circle and at that time I was wondering what the guy was doing since it was rush hour. I just saw him going around the platform taking photos. If it wasn't for this forum, I wouldn't have known the hobby even existed.
  13. Sure, but I'd put money on it that most people living in such environments moved to them willingly, knowing what they were getting into and perhaps were looking for a deal to boot. Even if they aren't loud, they are still there, so property values are not going to be as attractive. People want to be NEAR public transit. Being near it and having it right outside their door are two very different things. lol I remember my first apartment overseas over ten years ago... I had the option of living in Downtown Florence (Italy) near to everything on a very central but noisy street, OR I could live on a nice quiet street in a more exclusive area. Price was roughly the same at about $1,800 - 2,000 a month when you consider the exchange rate and the cost for water and utilities. Which do you think I chose? For hell to freeze over. lol The only people that think this is the "cool" thing to do are "urbanists" that have nothing to lose. The types I see on social media posting non-stop about making every area of the City "dense" while they are shacked up living with five roommates (lol), or people that just think it's "cool" to have some new rail line to fan or whatever, BUT none of these people would have to deal with any of the ramifications of such projects, so of course they want it built - it doesn't impact them. Funny how that works... Realistically speaking, if your biggest asset is what you're living in that you paid money out to live in, you are not interested in losing money on that investment. That's just the truth, and if you have no problem losing money on it living in what is now the most expensive City in the US, you probably need your head examined. I've never heard of anybody that owns real estate here say oh yeah I want a rail line on my block that decreases my property value. Yes, logistics were the main reason, but my comments were in response to people saying that hadn't the NIMBYs left Astoria or whatever.
  14. I don't think you and a few other people realize how serious this is being taken. A gang of teens beating another one while it is being recorded. This is not normal behavior and if it is over some trains, that makes it even more ridiculous. Yeah well they should be prepared to note all of this when they are dragged in by the NYPD because the video posted and shown in the media paints a much different picture and all it shows is a bunch of Latino kids beating up a Black kid while racial slurs are being hurled. I don't know how that can be a "misunderstanding". Smh I'm not that old and had friends of all backgrounds growing up. That term was not just thrown around so casually unless someone did something to really piss someone else off. Still makes no sense to me. To "jump" someone means that someone else is joining him to gang up on someone else.
  15. Even if he did, I don't understand the racial slurs. I'd be curious to understand what insults the Black kid used, if any. In any event, the three Hispanic teens better have a good explanation because it is being painted as a racist attack/hate crime in the media, whether true or not, and as it stands, their attack is on camera.
