Isn't the all R160 already? Would think the new ones would be headed for the till they finish those and then head to the . Its nice that the R42 is gone and R32 will be gone soon as well. Even if the subway cars were all R160, would I be happy? Probably not. Once in a blue moon I would use the or . I don't travel much and don't need to. Hope you all get what you want. SMEE if you wish, or NTT, whatever you prefer. I just want to get out of the city and outside the USA personally. Will I use mass transit elsewhere? Probably not. With the being discontinued which has R160's I presume those cars will make it to Jamaica Yard or East New York to phase out the R42's? The good part about the service cuts is the bus route cuts which will free up the roads and cut down on traffic. Problem is the city will have oodles of spare bus'es at its depot's. I guess they can phase out the older buses sooner now. Sick of mass transit, sick of the city, quite frankly sick of technology. This is my last post on here.

Do you ever actually have an intelligent post to make to every thread instead of bashing the SMEEs? Notice how SMEEs weren't even in this convo until you brought them in here. You want to start a SMEE hating thread, do so here. Enjoy the rest of your day now. If you choose to leave, don't let the international plane door hit you on the way out.

NX Express Posted December 16, 2009 Share #5 Posted December 16, 2009 The good part about the service cuts is the bus route cuts which will free up the roads and cut down on traffic. Are you serious? Less buses=more people without a bus More people without a bus=more cars More cars=much, much, much more traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for 8713-8722 moving to Jamaica, wasn't there a memo earlier this year saying that CI will get all the R160 options and push the base orders to Jamaica yard?

Why are you are even bringing him up into your posts? Anyways, back to the ORIGINAL topic (on R160s): I guess I have to check out this seatless pilot program they're testing out on the . And as for the option order rumor, I haven't heard anything about that as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, R46s don't move slow, it's just the line in general that makes the line slow, but it's a pretty fine route if you ask me. But a little variety doesn't hurt, you see the occasional R32 on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bveguy Posted December 17, 2009 Share #14 Posted December 17, 2009 Well, I have to say that the R46 does go fast on some portions of track, but with all the upgrades (uphills) on the , the R160s would be able to cover that, unlike the R46. 95th Street bound between 36th Street and 45th Street is an example.

The good part about the service cuts is the bus route cuts which will free up the roads and cut down on traffic. Problem is the city will have oodles of spare bus'es at its depot's. I guess they can phase out the older buses sooner now. 10-car trains cannot be sent to eastern division, they can only run 8-car trains. And just because the W is being cut, the N will need a few extra trains to run local and the Q will need a few to go to Queens. So it'll be a redistribution of trains. Free up roads? cut traffic? You gotta be kidding... all it'll mean is those riders will have to drive or carpool into the city. There's nothing good about bus route cutes, unless it is the half filled express buses routes that gets service cuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYtransit Posted December 17, 2009 Share #17 Posted December 17, 2009 we still need a siemens set at a jamica,i wounder why kiwasiki is now making there sets with alstom.im sick of hearing alstom almost every day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattTrain Posted December 17, 2009 Share #18 Posted December 17, 2009 A Siemens R160B set would be cool for Jamaica yard. I believe the second half of the Option 2 order of R160B 9873-9942 might have that traction motor, but I don't know if Jamaica or Coney Island and will get them. That prototype R160B 8713-8722 might be rolling around the by now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for 8713-8722 moving to Jamaica, wasn't there a memo earlier this year saying that CI will get all the R160 options and push the base orders to Jamaica yard? Jamaica is getting the rest of the R160 order. 8713-8722 is just the pilot train for the experiment; I would assume that should they succeed then they could just as easily outfit the Jamaica trains with the seatless trains as they do with the CI trains. ive noticed that when jamaica gets a new set of 160s they put them on the and move another older set from the to the (F)and ive noticed now it is becoming a rarity to see an 46 on the i ride the everyday and have only ridden 160s for teh past two weeks Sometimes the new sets are on the , and sometimes they're seen on the first. I would suggest that everyone gets pictures of the R46 trains while they still can before they become too rare to be worth waiting for. Yea, hopefully, they'll make their way on the . I'm tired of those slow-moving R46 cars. The hell are you talking about? R46s are just as fast as the R160s (maybe a little slower in acceleration but they can achieve the same speeds).
