Minus the fog though, the fog can gtfo...people can't drive on the Belt. SMFH.

Did not realize spring came back so soon! Hoodie weather today despite that rain.

I'm pretty sure this was discussed before, but most Hollywood movies change the names of locations and depict locations as different locations for security reasons.  It's not just trains and such, they do this with roadways as well.

For example, in Die Hard 3, the scene were Bruce drives off the "FDR" was actually on the BQE before the Atlantic Avenue exit.  Or of course that Wall Street station.

Since the Broadway Line is the line affected, you'd rather have the keep service. If you send the to Prospect Park, you'd have no service to Manhattan and all the people will go to the . If to Atlantic Avenue you would have delays single-tracking, and people will have to transfer anyways, instead of just keeping the , a one-seat ride to Manhattan. ALSO, since it would only take 2 hours, it'd have no effect whether a part-time or a full-time route runs, a route is a route. (Rerouting the via 6th Av wouldn't do because you would have to terminate it somewhere). Also just put the 's cars on the , so then frequency wouldn't be a problem.

Exactly..if it takes only 2 hours to fix the problem, suspending a part-time route is better than suspending a full time route. 

Delays single tracking to Atlantic? You're concerned on delays from that? The scenario has bigger delays then a mere single track delay.

What you are forgetting is that the affected line is Broadway, not 6th Avenue. The would still warrant a transfer no matter what to attend Broadway stops.

Quite frankly, I assume you don't ride the Brighton to see that suspending the is daily routine whenever problems arise.

If that infuriates you..wow, don't watch any movies that happen around New York City. You'd probably throw your TV out the window.

It's fascinating to repeatedly see this obsession with sending the Q over queens blvd...

It's not like it never happened before. =P

Suspend the ? What? Run the to Atlantic or Prospect, suspend the in Brooklyn as in most cases this scenario always happens.

I'm imagining there's going to be some sort of ridicules price tag attached to that.

According to this:

http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/01/marshawn-lynch-beast-burger-seahawks-playoffs/

The "limited edition" burger is $15. So if that price is ridiculous then I've been eating some millionaire type of burgers lately.

It is in a way... People that sell food on the streets pay good money for permits, while the folks selling the water usually don't pay anything.  Would you as a business owner think it's fair for you to play by the rules and run a legal business while others don't?

Yes and no, I guarantee you that these people selling the water bottles on the streets, weaving through the lanes when the light is red..do not have permits. I highly doubt it.

I was going to post this in the 'Kids getting arrested in the subway thread' but it had nothing to do with subways. But since everyone is approving of arresting juvenile things like that, we might as well start arresting the people selling bottled water on Ocean Parkway that disrupts traffic with them weaving between cars and such. Pretty much the same thing eh?

Been listening to this for some time now.

Like the classical version of trance.

No. You still need a ticket.

Wouldn't it work though? Like if I got off a local B44 at Kings Highway and when buying the ticket, won't it say 'Free Transfer' on the machine? Or will it really charge me again.

Same goes for vice versa when going from a SBS to a local?

Don't think the strip map itself lights up..looks more like the plaque they took from a 142 and cut it to fit in.

  runs on weekends during tourist season.

Technically if you really think about it, NYC's tourist season is every damn season. LOL

Damn thots.

I can understand bacon and egg or a bagel with butter and jelly, but I can't imagine all four combined...I gagged a bit.

No, I took that fact into account. The only thing I didn't factor in are the IRT track connections to BMT/IND connections. I figure his question was based on current rolling stocks and track configurations.

My initial experiment was with the Q and I used most of the mid-way stations as terminals as well, such as 57th and Brighton Beach.

I mean, technically you can get from any station to any station, albeit with wonky moves often required, but still from a very literal perspective the answer is 461*461... 212,521. 

 

I realize that's not the question you're asking, but it's hard to get a real number, because the question is sort of "How many lines are possible starting and ending at something that mostly resembles a terminal, without doing a reverse move, without going between A and B division" I think the answer would be surprisingly a lot. 

You can't use that equation because he wants track connection and not physical connections. Even though it's theoretically possible because there are various points where IRT can connect to BMT/IND, I'm sure he wants the realistic routes.

and don't forget the people who go to one rave and think they are advanced ravers/partiers/fans and then put "Eat. Sleep. Rave. Repeat." as their motto 

At least 75% of the people I know "just" became "ravers" and when they see me play a track, they go saying "oh damn, when were you a EDM fan?" I'm like dude, I've been listening to this when you were all up on hip-hop and R&B back in the day. Don't get me wrong though, the 90's hip-hop/R&B will always dominate today's hip-hop/R&B

Just something I've been wondering, with all the track connections there are, how many subway lines are physically possible?

Since it's a rainy day and I was pretty bored, I estimated already 50+ possible routes coming out of Coney Island and coming into Coney Island alone so I'm sure the number is at least in the triple digits of possibilities. (Counting short turns and possible terminals as well.)

imo 19 is the lowest you can get. the maximum is a lot because the train had the most detours in the system. 

23/4 should be the lowest you can get just by counting the already existing lines on the map.

PSA: 80% of current EDM fans aren't even REAL fans.

What the hell?!?!?....

Yeah it seems this thread is the new chat room.

You do know T/Os go through extensive training in schoolcar on signals, correct good sir? So I would imagine said T/O would know what he is talking about. I wouldn't question it. 

I'm reading AndrewJC's responses and your responses that follow and I am certain that you are not understanding what he is saying.

He is saying that signals are placed and designed by engineers, not the train operators as you seem to be implying. Train operators are what they are...train operators. They are trained to read the signals to properly operate their trains. They are in no way in charge of placing signals of where they are. I don't get how you couldn't get that.

So I guess OT thread became a public PM fest the past couple of pages, eh?

Since when did a downvote become so serious anyway...

I'd give you a million upvotes if they were worth anything for this comment.
