Now they have to treat the rest of the subway system like they treat the LIRR: it’s not a mobile home. I can't tell if that's sincere or sarcastic... Definitely sincere. Sarcastic remarks are always punctuated with /s for this very reason! 🙂 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the can’t fit any more people on it, but the one advantage of the air train to willets point is the extra space to build the air train without NIMBYs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have yet to see anyone really care for that loss. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is whenever the northbound side platform is open for customers - usually from 90 minutes prior to an event, to 90 minutes after it's conclusion. There is a ramp from that platform. Otherwise, it is not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those needing ADA accessibility can’t take the Super Expresses since they depart from the Express platform at Mets-Willets Point, unless they miraculously catch it at Woodside-61 St (Junction Blvd is skipped) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallyhorse Posted April 5 Share #30694 Posted April 5 SEPTA in Philly is installing new turnstiles in the 69th Street station on the Market-Frankford Line in Upper Darby (just outside the city limits): SEPTA needs to make these gates taller and lower so people can't jump or crawl underneath. Otherwise, these are the kind of turnstiles the needs to be installing at subway stations to cut down on fare beating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris89292 Posted April 5 Share #30695 Posted April 5 As you all know today, New York experienced a 4.8 Earthquake today, and I’m wondering what’s the protocol when an earthquake of this magnitude or larger happens on the subway??

Calvin Posted April 6 Share #30698 Posted April 6 I remember when the had the G/O that has trains only run between 74 St-Broadway and Main St, there wouldn't be much service between Hudson Yards and Times Square. Only Shuttle buses. But, with the Auto Show this week, there's a shuttle train service back and forth 5 minutes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the broker asked me what objections I had to the Hudson Yards property, this was exactly my gripe. Yea, there is a subway station. But it’s out of service every other weekend, and it’s the only subway station around. Also, I don’t want to go to Queens. I only need it to get me to a train that I do need.

It should be a permanent during this GO imo, maybe when the Grand Central 42nd street circulation improvements is 50% complete or so, the can run between hunters point and Hudson yards, I know it currently can’t because of such project, but it’s possible 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
