  2. 7726 and 8979 are also active. 7726 happens to be tracking at Howell right now; think it might have covered a trip on the 139. Similar thing with 7755 yesterday; it was returned later in the night. Is 7989 still around? Something out of Howell has been tracking with that number, but it seems to be a particularly lousy tracker since it keeps jumping to random locations.
  3. Part Suspended Special weekend service is partially suspended while our crews at Lexington Av/63 St are addressing a switch problem. trains are running with delays. service will operate in two sections with limited service: Regular weekend stops between Middle Village-Metropolitan Av and Delancey St-Essex St On the line between 96 St and Canal St Alternatives For service into Manhattan from the , take trains to/from Broadway Junction. Transfer to service at Delancey St-Essex St, service at Canal St, and service at Fulton St. For service past Delancey St-Essex St for customers, take trains from Delancey St-Essex St. Transfer to service at W 4 St-Wash Sq or service at 34 St-Herald Sq.

  4. I agree that Federal Circle would been a more ideal spot, with both of the Airtrain branches and the airport shuttles stopping there. That way the Q3 wouldn't have to circle all the way around the terminal area and people wouldn't have to use another transfer or take Airtrain one stop to get to the Service Road area. Perhaps if they invested into making more space for buses around there; I could see buses potentially drop off at the north side, layover on the Cargo Service Rd and pick up or just loop at the south side (though this spot might be too tight). That'd require one of the lanes to be converted, but I don't recall there being too much traffic on that road. They are making a new layover space at Lefferts, so that could have also been an option. Isn't the M60 a little different though, since it has to serve all of the terminals? A layover at LGA would have pax. on the bus also having to wait, or them getting off to take another one. It does tend to become pretty unreliable at some points too; wouldn't want the JFK routes replicating that, especially so with the B15.
  5. There seems to be a lot of standards operating on the Q53+ right now for some reason. 7445, 7449, 7455 and 4510. Apparently they were also running shuttle buses in Manhattan yesterday and today, but there seems to be no mention of such on their website or on Twitter.
  6. Was there some type of shortage yesterday? I noticed some odd appearances during the evening rush... 8270 was tracking on the 68 and 9051 on the 64. I believe said buses are normally out of Northern (Oradell & Meadowlands respectively); they are back around the usual area today.

  14. So I thought I'd share a little experience I had today... So I was over at Washington Heights this evening trying to get home and was waiting at 168th in front of the hospital for the next Midtown bus, and I walk over to the s/b M5 stop and see 4263 parked there. I believe I tracked it on the n/b M5 running pretty late (15+ mins behind) and it probably got short turned as a result. Maps says that the next one was coming in around 4 mins, and since there was no other bus leaving 178th, I assumed he'd just go into service there. About a minute before the bus was scheduled, the op turns on the bus, and those of us waiting start walking up but alas, he quickly pulls out NIS and starts speeding away down Broadway (I watched it go down a few blocks), so I instead crossed the street for the M3 that was just about to turn in, as the next M5 was another 20 min wait. I thought that he might've just been going back to the depot (which didn't make a lot of sense if he was on layover), but what do you know, I pull up the tracker a few mins later and 4263 was in service on the M5 for the trip I'd expected it to be on, around the 150s. I'm just curious as to whether it was his personal choice to do so or not, and as to why whomever might feel that he couldn't just go into service from where he was at... everyone waiting at stops north of 157th (where I think he started making stops) went a whole 40 mins without an M5 passing, and it just seems like a big inconvenience. IIRC, this has happened to me before, except the op went into service right after having left the stop I was waiting at as NIS. As for Manhattan N/S routes, yeah they are pretty terrible during the week and you're best off waiting for the weekend when the runtime is shorter for most routes. These days traffic isn't such as much an issue but rather buses running hot and taking a slow pace for the whole duration, which I do not blame them for doing. Though I will say it is a little annoying when some are slugging it despite being behind, which leads to all the bunching and crowding and whatnot.
  15. Part Suspended There is no and train service between Queensboro Plaza and Astoria - Ditmars Blvd in both directions while our crews work to remove a fallen tree from the tracks at 30 Av. The last stop on Queens-bound and trains will be 34 St - Herald Sq, 57 St - 7 Av, 96 St on the line or Queensboro Plaza. For alternate service Queens take an , , or train and a Q69 bus to Astoria - Ditmars Blvd. Posted: 7/10/20 6:04 PM

Northbound trains are stopping along the line from Coney Island - Stillwell Av to DeKalb Av. trains are running express between Prospect Park and Kings Hwy in both directions. For service to/from bypassed stations, use southbound trains. Continue to expect delays in and train service in both directions. Posted: 6/29/20 8:26 PM

  18. Delays Northbound trains are resuming local service in Manhattan after NYPD apprehended disruptive passengers at 23 St who vandalized multiple trains. Expect delays as service resumes. Posted: 10/25/19 12:52 PM
  19. Part Suspended We're temporarily suspending service between 96 St and Essex St-Delancey St because of a Con Edison power problem affecting our signal system at West 4 St-Washington Square. For service between 96 St and West 4 St-Washington Square, consider taking or train service. To think that every B division line in Manhattan is currently limited to the 6 Avenue trunk.
  20. For some reason they decided that rerouting an onto 8th was a good idea... there was one just sitting at Port Authority, stuck in the conga line on the SB local track. Also, Delays Expect longer wait times in and train service in both directions while we work to correct a signal problem at 14 St.
