  1. I mean if one runs on the (A) 5 days a week, and the (A) is all IND, shouldn't that tell you something?

    Or the fact that the R68's dominate the IND and there is only an R68 on the (N) every now and then.

    Also, Javier you should buy a camera or take a picture of these things. Cause for now it's "no picture no proof."

  2. I just got an idea!

     

    How about a crosstown (X) train that runs from 207 Street to Pelham Bay Park serving 207 Street in the (1) and 225 Street on the (1) and Fordham Road on the (4) and East 180 Street on the (2)/(5) and Zegara and Pelham Bay Park on the (6)?

     

    Nobody will ever ride that. Just not enough demand. That's why we have buses for areas with lower demand.

  3. A power outage has happened in Brooklyn and there are stalled trains everywhere!

     

    There is a train without power in the Mountage Tube Tunnel full of stranded passengers. how would you preform rescue efforts to get them to safety?

    Power outage- you're just f**ked

     

    And if there is no power in the tunnel they're gonna have to walk it or have a diesel work car go down and pull em up somehow.

  4. NEXT:

     

    Two separate sinkholes have developed near the 125th Street fault line in upper Manhattan:

     

    One between St. Nicholas and Lenox Avenues.

     

    One between Lexington and 3rd Avenue.

     

    The only subway line that far north unaffected by this is the (1) line (as it's elevated on 125) and Metro-North is also unaffected by this (as its also elevated).

     

    This will take a few days to fix.  Reroute/suspend/cross-honor as needed.

     

     

     

    (A) trains split in two sections 207th to 145th St via Local and 34th to Rock

    (C) trains run from 59th to Euclid

    (B) trains run from 59th to Brighton

    (D) trains split in two sections from 205th to 145th via Local and 59th to C.I.

    (2) trains split in two sections 241st to 135th and 110th to New Lots

    (3) trains run via (1) to Dyckman

    (4) trains split in two sections Woodlawn to 138-GC and 86th or 42nd to Utica

    (5) trains run Dyre Shuttle

    (6) trains split in two sections Pelham to 3rd Av and 86th or 42nd to City Hall

    MetroCard is honored on MNRR within city limits

  5. ok, imagine this:

    The tunnels that carries the (4), (5), (6) in and out of the Bronx and Manhattan, broke and there needed to be service to be put back in service. What would you do to bring back service.

     

    (5) via (2) train

    No (4) between 149-GC and 125th St

    No (6) between 3rd Av and 125th St

  6. Today I had a B/O on the local Bx12 that got rear ended (more like a tap honestly, no one on the bus felt anything) and the B/O took the bus out of service. The driver of the car took quick pics and basically left the scene before anyone showed up.

     

    Hopefully the driver of the car enjoys her insurance rates going up and I also hope the B/O enjoyed his drug test because I didn't enjoy all the school kids on the next bus, especially since the first bus was so (relatively) empty and quiet.

    Why does a little bump take the bus out of service, I thought buses were made to be strong.

  7. If the (C) did move to the Culver line after West 4th and became the Culver Express, it would also replace the (F) to Coney Island (save for a few (F) trains to Kings Highway in rush hours as the (F) otherwise would terminate at Church Avenue, except late nights when the (F) would run as it does now) to give riders at Coney Island and at express stops on the Culver branch a one-seat 8th Avenue option they don't currently have AND give riders on the Fulton line NOT looking for lower Manhattan the option of switching to the (C) at Jay Street since the (C) would run via Rutgers.  It also would give riders coming from/going to the (6) at Broadway-Lafayette an 8th Avenue line option they don't have with a new cross-platform option riders from the (B) and (D) coming from/going to Brooklyn there as well.

    The real point of what I wrote earlier, however, was that you were much more likely to see this than have the (G) become the sole line along Park Slope and the Culver Line.  The rest of this is something that is unlikely to happen, at the very least until the Hudson Yards project is completely or at least has been built significantly.

    However this stops up service with all the merging trains. If you really wanted an (F) express you might as well use a diamond <F> or bring the (V) back. Sure it sounds great on paper, but I've realised this will cause more harm then it's worth.
