MTA Dude Posted November 7, 2014 Share #7953 Posted November 7, 2014 A question about 4th avenue local: The runs at 6-8 minutes during rush hours. The runs at 10 minutes during rush hours. The each run 20 minutes during late nights, totalling up to 10 minutes. I don't get this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Dude Posted November 8, 2014 Share #7954 Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) When doing a fantasy map, is it reasonable to do both skip stop local and an express service? AKA three lines. Edited November 8, 2014 by MTA Dude 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted November 8, 2014 Share #7955 Posted November 8, 2014 When doing a fantasy map, is it reasonable to do both skip stop local and an express service? AKA three lines. In fantasies, obviously so...if you're that obsessed of going against the true meaning of an "express", "local" and "skip-stop" services... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q113 LTD Posted November 9, 2014 Share #7959 Posted November 9, 2014 Since the newly open Fulton Center(officially called Fulton Transit Center), are there any chances that the will rename the station from "Fulton St" to "Fulton Transit Center"? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the 8th Avenue line's Fulton Street platform was known as Broadway-Nassau a few years ago. I mean they could change the name if they want to, but I don't see why they would change the name so soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The station is called and will continue to be called "Fulton St". Only the building itself will be known as the "Fulton Center". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTA Bus Posted November 10, 2014 Share #7963 Posted November 10, 2014 The station is called and will continue to be called "Fulton St". Only the building itself will be known as the "Fulton Center". Honestly, it sounds more like a mall than a subway station to me. But then again, stores are supposed to open in there soon, so yea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted November 11, 2014 Share #7965 Posted November 11, 2014 "This is 59th Street. Ladies and Gentlemen, as you exit please be careful of the gap between the platform and the train. Transfer is available to the: and trains. A free transfer is also available to the train, by walking to the Lexington Avenue, 63rd Street station and using your MetroCard." Good grief, what a long winded announcement they have on those R142's at 59th Street on the Lex, even if the announcement plays earlier now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbr40 Posted November 11, 2014 Share #7966 Posted November 11, 2014 why they put the gap announcement in that station. isn't that station a straight line?( differ from south ferry and 14 street union sq._ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put the gap announcements at Brooklyn Bridge too, which does have a slight curve. But the 59th Street one is quite the head scratcher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted November 11, 2014 Share #7970 Posted November 11, 2014 The probably put the gap announcement to warn commuters to watch their step as they leave the train. But 59 Street has no gaps while other stations with this announcement do (14 Street, Brooklyn Bridge, Freeman Street, and West farms Square have gaps large enough for this announcement to play). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbr40 Posted November 11, 2014 Share #7971 Posted November 11, 2014 q113 is right tho. if the rail have these announcement like njt. that because the height of the rail cars and station is different to one another. but i heard in subway they are all even out so there won't be a gap. i guess the station is drooping downward as all these people are waiting lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
