bveguy Posted July 11, 2010 Share #2 Posted July 11, 2010 It doesn't matter to me. As long as it gets me to work ON TIME and SAFELY, I'm fine with whichever rolling stock is on what line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 CNG Posted July 11, 2010 Share #3 Posted July 11, 2010 R46's they transport people better than the R160s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to the I agree with ya! I'm currently taking the train every Tuesday , Wednesday , and Thursday for 5 weeks because I'm in a teen film making program and as slow as the already is. It doesn't matter what it runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOURQuarterback12 Posted July 12, 2010 Share #15 Posted July 12, 2010 I dont know why you would choose R46 over R160. The old models are noticeably rockier and feels a lot dirtier because it is. There is often garbage on them. The R160s are always clean and a smooth commute plus air conditioning and automatic stops voice and display. Plus the seating arrangements on R160s allow more room. I also notice that the few weeks recently before the service cuts, the used to operate almost all R160s but after the reductions, almost all are reverted back to R46. Any guesses?

LRG Posted July 12, 2010 Share #17 Posted July 12, 2010 I dont know why you would choose R46 over R160. It's their choice. Let them choose what the please. The old models are noticeably rockier and feels a lot dirtier because it is. There is often garbage on them. Not always true. It all depends on the types of passengers the route picks up. Apparently you haven't been on the at 10 in the evening when all the skells come out. The R160s are always clean and a smooth commute plus air conditioning and automatic stops voice and display. Again the cleanliness of the car is all on the passenger. As for the ride quality and climate control that depends on yard maintenance due to the fact that some yards (like Jamaica Yard) can't maintain their trains for shit. Plus the seating arrangements on R160s allow more room. That's really questionable due to the fact that R160s has less seats than the R32-R42 fleet and the fact that R46s are bigger. I also notice that the few weeks recently before the service cuts, the used to operate almost all R160s but after the reductions, almost all are reverted back to R46. Any guesses? Some dum-dum thought that an operator with an R46 would punch the wrong line-up at Broadway and Lafayette Street and go through Chrystie Street so they decided to make the 99% R160 again.

The was reported to be the most unreliable subway line out of the entire subway system in 2009, being on time 76.2% of the time. I believe frequency was addressed in the report that was released in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, the seems to be the most frequent 6th Ave service when I ride it, usually a few of those will go before I get on my ( or trains, especially on weekends when usually 2-3 (F)s will go before my arrives.

While the rush hour headways for the are every four minutes at most, the length of the line has to be taken into factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant overall space including standee space. lol The way the R32 and R44 seating is arranged there is less standee space.
