Quill Depot

About the nuke: suspended forever. will never be built.

no

Sticking a line with a huge amount of trains per hour onto a line with a huge amount of trains per hour causes delays to the moon and back.

I wonder if buses in NYC spend more time moving or stopped?

The subway has always made money. In fact, what the city should be doing is charging more for Manhattan riders, since they take up valuable space just going two or three stops when that space is needed for people who ride all the way.

 

If we have a zone fare system, we should do it based on borough, with both an entry and exit fare.

 

Outer boroughs: $1

Manhattan: $2

Makes no sense in my opinion. The MTA still pays a lot more for the Jamaica rider rather than the Manhattan rider.

Truth or not, it does have some merit. Keep in mind that it's not just any door that allows entry and exit into the system - it's marked an "emergency exit", which explains the alarm that was in place. Yes, you will have customers using the door illegally, but the overwhelming majority of the cases are legal or permitted uses that are nowhere near an "emergency". This means the alarm has practically lost its meaning and usefulness, and mainly serves as pain in the ears for customers and the agent.

I think it can be compared to the "faulty" car alarms. I'm ready to pull the plug on both, but better safe than sorry.

Wonderful day you had I guess. Anyway that still doesn't explain why on earth you step into a lane of traffic.

It's been a problem for a while and now because a woman has died, the cops are finally out starting to enforce the speed limits of those out of control cyclists. They are as dangerous as ppl driving cars. This needed to be brought ip on the news and i'm glad it has.

Don't forget the delivery ones who go the wrong way on one way streets

I didn't say on street. I help on sidewalk. If emergency vehicle response near horse-drawn carriage, I step in front of horse-drawn carriage because I have seen carriage drivers jumping in front of responding vehicle.

 

I usually go to public library to get schedule.

 

I agreed. Some riders, bus operators says Veolia is s-word.

One of Nassau County Bus Transit Committee is vice-president of All Island Taxi, and doesn't ride a BUS. If  All Island Taxi vice-president was NCBTC, s/he should ride NICE Bus from various All Island Taxi offices to see for him/her-self how he feels about crowded buses or overcrowded buses.

Trying to decipher what the hell this means. It's never a good idea to step into lanes of traffic, no matter the reason. That's pretty much suicidal unless you're an idiot. Anyway back on topic, Bee-Line is better than NICE, more reliable, and convenient.

 

This is my proposal for Rockefeller Center. It makes it easier for local and express. Comment on it.

Your diagram is unreadable. What's over, what's under, and what is connected to what?

 

Typically, dotted lines indicate tracks on a second level. The same goes for gray-out platforms as well. To show that a track serves two different trunk lines, two different-colored lines are drawn in parallel, without any gap in between.

I'm pretty sure this is what he really means:

It's the same thing as there is now though. We have cross-platform transfers, and a mezzanine in the station. No benefit, except for a direct connection from the local tracks to CPW, but trains can just cross over between 34th and 42nd.  

It'll never fly. That would mean most riders from the Bronx and Eastern Queens would be paying over $3 per trip to get to and from Midtown since they'd fall in that three zones traveled trip. You've also created the scenario where riders in poorer sections of the city are paying more than the richest parts of the city.

It's really only fair. Manhattan riders pay the same for a four minute ride as Jamaica riders do for a half-hour ride. The MTA makes a ton of money off of the Manhattan rider, but the Jamaica rider they lose money on. It happens in other cities as well, I don't see why it can't happen here. $4 for a 30 minute ride isn't that bad.

There is a malfunction of signals at Atlantic Ave- Barclays Center. Reroute or suspended the affected lines.

Is it IRT, BMT 4th Av, or BMT Brighton? Or all?

Next:

The year is 1974 and the 6th Av Line is closed between 57th and W4. Also the Cranberry tubes are closed. Reroute

bullshit goes here

Makes no sense but here goes. I assume the R46 is stuck at Myrtle on the local track that is Metro Av bound

trains run 242 to New Lots (via 3)

trains run in two sections, 241st to Grand Concourse, and 96th to Flatbush

suspended, use 1

trains run Dyre Shuttle to make way for 6

replaces past Brooklyn Bridge

trains run express in the Queens-bound between Marcy and Myrtle

trains run express as well

trains run between 145 and W4

trains run between 205 and B'Way Lafyette

via tunnel

1/2 Sea Beach and 1/2 West End

Has anyone ever thought of fare zones? One being Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn. Then Uptown and South Bronx (after 125th). The rest of the Bronx past 180th would be another zone. Now Queens would be a zone and so would Eastern Queens (past Woodhaven/Junction Blvd). Finally the rest of Brooklyn.

Prices:

Thru a single zone: $1.50

Thru two zones: $2.50

Thru three zones: $3.25

Thru four zones: $4

Thru more than four zones: $5

Ha, not to mention a heavily delayed route in the meantime! I can't beleive CBTC is the cause of it!

And when the sun goes out the will still be going on the route. Even when humans are long gone. Wow!

Is there any reason why the R160's have 5 times the distance than the R143's?

Next: Due to a freak earthquake in Brooklyn all uptown are routed via Lex and all uptown are routed via 7th

The R46's book thru the tube

R32s maybe nostalgic and everything, but the prices of shit are past their prime. Sure I love to ride em', but NY doesn't, and not are they reliable. Hell, if I was in charge Redbirds would still be on the rails, but it's about time they get a complete replacement.

And once again....what the hell does that have anything to do with the cars "rotting"....you're comparing mechanics to conditions....apples to oranges....

How hard is it to see, the cars are past their prime and it's time for them to be sent to the junkyard or the reefer.

Rotting? The 46s are made of stainless steel.

Their mechanics, the brakes take a while to engage and stop the train, the pickup seems really slow.

You make it sound like the NTTs are perfect in *everything* like a few other members here....generally speaking....

They are "generally" perfect, especially compared to the rotting R46's and the failing R332's

The weekend Q service cancellation had me thinking it would be far more efficient if MTA just ran shuttle buses from Q train stations to F train stations which is usually just 10 minutes away from Q.

I'd say a bus route at only the big express stops, otherwise just a bus running up and down the line.

They need to keep the R160 on the ...First day of normal service with most of the line being R46 and trains were already really late.

It seems that lines with R160's are generally more on time.

There wouldn't be a point; Phases I and II are designed for two tracks only (more so, since the original 1970s plan was also a two track subway and the Phase II tunnels exist.) An express just below 60th St wouldn't make much sense since you'd be skipping two to four stops max, and wouldn't really provide any meaningful boost to capacity. Plus, the current two tracks is fine for any foreseeable expansions; it can accommodate one line in the Bronx, one line across 125th, one in Queens, and two in Brooklyn, which is probably as much as we're going to build for the next century.

I understand. Based on pictures of SAS the tunnels look huge, enough for even two layers of tracks. I figure with CBTC lines can handle about 10 more TPH eventually, so the express tracks will probably not even be needed.
