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?

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

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.

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

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.

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'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.

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 http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/caption.pl?/img/maps/system_1972.jpg

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. 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.

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

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

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

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