The ones that stink up the car, lay on the seats or use the car as storage for their items, treat the car as their bathroom, harrass riders, etc. Even if these people pay (which I doubt they do), their actions disrupt riders and the system as a whole and they should be removed. The problem is quickly getting out of hand. On the other hand, someone who is sleeping, sitting up unnoticed, paid the fare, and arent disturbing riders can be left alone. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also didn't include 145th, making it incorrect. I would have counted it if you also mentioned 145th. Lol. I got subway knowledge that impresses tourists.

Taking up more than 1 seat is already against the rules. Laying down on the bench is a specific case of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bwwnyc123 Posted February 18, 2020 Share #23214 Posted February 18, 2020 Yeah they are going to do whatever they want on line. They probably really don't want to use R46 on and to keep them on . Just like the probably really don't want to use R32. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The would have been a lot more interesting had Cuomo not pulled the plug last minute on the shutdown by turning it half-ass on nights and weekends only with one tube shut down. Same with the original plan to get the closer to full length by being 480 feet long like the BMT Eastern Division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkstar8983 Posted February 19, 2020 Share #23219 Posted February 19, 2020 (edited) A train operator for the in Astoria told me that the cars would be swapped back in 6-months because only the Queens Blvd Express was going to be tested first, and the R211s will be there in sufficient quantity by the time the local is automated. So who knows how many more R160s are going to go to Jamaica. Notice that the swap has slowed down a bit. And now there’s rearrangement of cars within CI. In conclusion, even though there is documentation that almost every R160 has to go to Jamaica, several things have happened: MTA wants to retire the R32s now instead of in 2022, lowering the spare factor and increasing the R46 requirement for the . The R179 mess, requiring an increased spare factor. The Coney Island Yard rearrangement: - R46s on the again - not as many R46s on the there were at least seven R68s on the today along with at least three on the , and probably more R160s on the because of the s loss of a few R160s and the lowered number of R46s on the . this also suggests that maybe the leftover R160s that will not (might not) head to Jamaica until the next car shipment might remain on the .

paulbyron Posted February 19, 2020 Share #23225 Posted February 19, 2020 There’s an R32 train that has departed 42 St - PABT southbound at about 8:03 for the past few days. If anyone wants to railfan, that’s probably a good place to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
