NewFlyer 230 Posted January 7, 2013 Share #2108 Posted January 7, 2013 The MTA seems more organized with their train assignments today. I remember how trains were all over the place. I remember from the mid 2000's Jamaica having R32's, R40's,R42's and R46's. And today it's just the R46 and R160. I remember seeing a lot of trains on the A as well. R32's,R38's,R40's,R42's, R44's and R46's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget that the R160s replaced several types of rolling stock so the number of different train types has decreased. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6 Lexington Ave Posted January 9, 2013 Share #2112 Posted January 9, 2013 Do you think it's logical to say that 75-78% of NYC is covered/served by the subway? Personally, that's where I'd put the percentage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, that's where I'd put the percentage. Do you mean if people live along a subway or if they take a bus to the subway as well? For Manhattan, I'd say it'd be like 80%, but Queens is like 40%. Brooklyn and the Bronx would be maybe 60-70%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For Manhattan, I'd say it'd be like 80%, but Queens is like 40%. Brooklyn and the Bronx would be maybe 60-70%. I'm talking about NYC in general. Meaning how much of the city's population can get to the subway without taking a bus. A walking distance not greater than 10 minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted January 9, 2013 Share #2116 Posted January 9, 2013 Ok, well it's kinda hard to say about the city as a whole, but as a break down, I would guess something like what I said in that post (not taking into account the bus transfers). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTimer Posted January 9, 2013 Share #2117 Posted January 9, 2013 If it's just walking at average pace, then Manhattan is closer to 95% (the lone exception being the far west side below 59-CC and East Village). A 10 minute walk from 8Av below 59th puts you roughly between 10th and 11th (which merge back into WSH lower down), and at the moment there isn't much residential in those areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6 Lexington Ave Posted January 9, 2013 Share #2118 Posted January 9, 2013 Well I figured around 75%, since like Grand Concourse said in Queens it's around 40 and like TwoTimer said in Manhattan it's around 95. I would put the Bronx around 82 and Brooklyn around 79. So in my opinion 75% is about right. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

checkmatechamp13 Posted January 9, 2013 Share #2120 Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) Do you think it's logical to say that 75-78% of NYC is covered/served by the subway? Personally, that's where I'd put the percentage. ====================================== It depends. Do you mean geography-wise, or in terms of people who can walk to the subway? I think in that RPA report, it said something like 57% are within 1/3 mile. Not sure how many would be within 1/2 mile. Probably something like 65% or so. Remember that you have whole swaths of neighborhoods that are far from the subway. Edited January 9, 2013 by checkmatechamp13 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttcsubwayfan Posted January 11, 2013 Share #2124 Posted January 11, 2013 While doing research for a project of mine, something occured to me - why was the IRT built to narrower dimensions than the BMT/IND? Who the hell thought that was a good idea? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who the hell thought that was a good idea? I think the builder/designer didn't want freight service or competitor passenger service to be running on his tracks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
