Coney Island Av Posted July 14, 2018 Share #6201 Posted July 14, 2018 All this train debating aside, 3122-3125 and 3134-3137 are now in regular service. Which means that we now have nine R179s in service on the ! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The will still have the shuttle buses around especially Brooklyn as Canarsie residents are also the most screwed. If you're commuting between Midtown and Canarsie during the shutdown, all you'd have to do is take the to Broadway Junction and transfer there to the . So, I wouldn't say you'd be amongst the most "screwed." Not to say that the closure of the 14th Street Tunnels won't come without frustration, but passengers will gradually adapt to their circumstances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that set is 3134-3137 and 3122-3125. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The will still run to Canarsie.The only thing is that they need to transfer to another train to get to Manhattan. No big deal. There will be a free out of system transfer between the and the during the shutdown, so that is another option to get to Manhattan. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted July 14, 2018 Share #6205 Posted July 14, 2018 Must I remind you people that this is the R179 thread, not the 14th St Closure thread. Please keep all "extension ideas" to that topic cause I'm getting tired of clicking on here to find out it's just another proposal instead of more news on R179 deliveries. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want an , go to Jay Street during the PM rush and wait. I can almost guarantee you that within an hour, you’ll be cruising happily through 2-shotsRUs to Church Avenue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subwaycommuter1983 Posted July 14, 2018 Share #6210 Posted July 14, 2018 (edited) FYI, sometimes "unrelated" topics in this thread are actually related. For instance, thanks to the r179's, service can be modified in other lines, even if they are not getting the r179's. The same will happen with the arrival of the r211's. There is no doubt that the whole r179 experience has taught us lessons in regards to the future of the subway system in NYC.

East New York Posted July 16, 2018 Author Share #6214 Posted July 16, 2018 (edited) Totally off topic but if anyone is interested, Airbus has officially taken over (controlling interest) the C-Series Jet program and has renamed it the Airbus A220. At this point it looks like Bombardier Transportation will become a shadow of it's former self.

Orders for both have been good this year, and with them making the Q good for 90 pax, I don’t see that changing. Also, FWIW, Airbus only owns 51% of the Cseries. BBD still gets $$$, just no stress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched this video, which basically explained that the Airbus acquisition helped Bombardier get around a 300% tariff that Boeing got slapped on the C-series. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I understand, those R143’s are spares at this point. The is definitely using more R160’s as of late... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
