  1. A cross platform transfer wouldn't be that bad A cross platform transfer wouldn't be that bad, but in reality people would hate it.
  2. Next: The City Hall loop has been deemed impassable due to a track fire. The loop is closed for repairs for a week. Reroute away. Sorry but none of this makes any sense…
  3. The could just send all Lex trains one way and 7th trains the other at Rogers, but then you lose the benefit of an one-seat ride to either one from both sides.
  4. I think the Lex has more riders from there but I could be wrong.
  5. Trying to be reasonable: The 53rd (E, M) , and Steinway ( 7) tubes are closed. Reroute accordingly. EDIT: also the 8th Av line is closed from 14th to 50th St
  6. There go all the sites you forgot your password to!
  7. Why not just turn the train around at Chambers and have it go back the other way. That way you serve all the stations in both directions.
  8. Doesn't connect to a yard which is one major problem in my opinion, meaning T/O's will have to go from CI via West End. Most lines have an easy connection to their yard. Look at all the lines and where their yards are and you'll understand. If this would be possible I would terminate it at Chambers via tunnel and have it turn back there, because people can get on in both directions, and then you don't have to make a switch or track where there isn't one. In addition there would be less tracks to share with other trains and less merges. In Brooklyn I would run it via West End, instead of via the R the entire way. That way it has a direct yard connection, and more access to 4th Av local stops than Sea Beach would, although Sea Beach is also a good contestant due to higher Sea Beach ridership. The better option would be extra service that short turned at 57th St. It would provide downtown and midtown service, and a possible future SAS uptown service. With that you still run the no-yard problem, but it shouldn't be a big deal as the line is still mostly part of the . If this were to happen however, I would send some trains via Broadway express to alleviate crowding. This seems best as a rush only service. However the downfall is the lack of connection to the Nassau St line. All in all, this brown R idea has some potential, such as more 4th Av local service. However, I find a line like this would have very low demand of ridership because it only connects to Lower Manhattan. The better idea, mentioned above would be the short turned 's to 57th, however it also has it's downsides.
  9. suspended trains run in two sections, 205-59 and B'way Lafayette to CI trains run via 8th (North of W4) and 53rd via 8th Av-Local south of Penn and via to Jay, certain trains short-turn at Penn to alleviate delays via between Jay and W4 trains run between Penn Sta and Parsons-Archer, via QBL local extended to 71st to supplement for to Astoria
  10. Suspend elevated portions. Leave trains on tracks underground for use. Late-nite service.
  11. The Nassau St line is impassible south of Essex-Delancey and the Cranberry St Tube is closed. Reroute and any others. And, due to ongoing track work, Marcy, Hewes, and Myrtle cannot be used as a terminal.
  12. Actually I live in suburban Westchester, where buses are the most useless things out there. It takes an hour to ride from Tarrytown to White Plains, a ride which takes 5-10 minutes in a car.
  13. One person matures into a car every day and hammers the bus into the ground because suburban bus service is shit.
  14. CBTC makes them not jam, the only problem is trains seem to go pretty slow on the
  15. replaces in Brooklyn replaces in Brooklyn (for 24-7 service where the 2 is) via Loop Expect Delays
  16. I mean if the guy rides CPW once a week or so, compared to Daniel who does it every 6-7 hours. It's not as rare to the non-frequent rider, compared to the frequent one. And yes your correct, If you were from some farther out city and you visit New York, an R142 would probably be "exclusive" but only to people at home and you.
  17. For you it's an everyday thing, for someone who doesn't ride the Fulton, 8th Av, or CPW lines much it's rare. It's all a matter of perception.
  18. "Warning: Call Police" or something like that seen on the side of HH Pkwy. It was picking up passengers.
  19. I jaywalk all the time, but I do look ALL directions. Stop, look, listen.
  20. It's totally fair. They're both suburban bus routes and serve small cities and small communities. Not much different between them. I expect on time service from both He thinks he has some authority in this thread… smh.
