In any event, you yelling at a transit employee is an incredibly stupid thing to do... You'd have to be there to understand why I said something. I'm not reacting to any more comments for now regarding this. I stand by my actions and would do it again if the situation repeated itself. I (and other pax) waited ten minutes. Who gets held at the station for ten minutes with no explanation or PA briefing? Please tell me how that's fair to riders? You can vent your frustration at my position as loud as you'd like but the riders I sat next to appreciated my effort. Defending a failure in communication is a failure in communication. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I been on a R142 which rolled at President street S/B and someone pulled the cord a few seconds later, T/O didn't take power though probably released the brakes and the train rolled, T/O eventually recharged the train made the rest of its trip to Flatbush without issue. In all fairness I'm sure its against the rules for the T/O to move the train in revenue service with the doors open for obvious reasons, I assume that's what @MassTransitHonchkrow was implying. That was my intent, thanks. ^-^ I only hope that kind of logic isn't applied in a real world situation with the expectation of job security. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted November 13, 2017 Share #17115 Posted November 13, 2017 You know, you can just ignore each other. It's not that serious.

Lawrence St Posted November 13, 2017 Share #17118 Posted November 13, 2017 As someone said earlier, attention whore. Anyway, the rehab announcement signage shoes that in order to get to bypassed stations, you must take a Coney Island Bound at Kings Highway (on Culver.)

Around the Horn Posted November 13, 2017 Share #17119 Posted November 13, 2017 Yes, laughing it off is threatening to mute people, publicly announcing you like to create your own bubble and then creating status updates to throw subs... Who do you think you're fooling here? That's all I have to say on this matter. Moving along... The express track closure is truly going forward. There's a motion in the board materials to officially add it to the schedule in Spring 2018. Quote Changes Recommended to Accommodate Long-term Construction Projects In addition to the schedule adjustments listed above, additional schedule adjustments are recommended to accommodate long-term planned construction work. Structural work on the 4 Av express tracks in Brooklyn require express trains to be rerouted to operate via the local tracks between 36 St and 59 St for approximately 12 months starting in mid-2018. Due to the long-term nature of this project, this change will be included in schedules starting in Spring 2018. 4 Av express service and 4 Av local service will continue to run normally. http://web.mta.info/mta/news/books/pdf/171113_1030_Transit.pdf page 138 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a bit confused on what you're asking for. How would the conductor know that they're going to run into congestion beforehand if there isn't a major issue like a sick passenger ahead and they weren't instructed to hold the train in the station? How big of a delay ia caused by this? If time is of the essense maybe those people should leave their houses earlier. It happens to me almost daily riding the Eastern Parkway Line approaching rogers junction. It causes no morw than a 5 minute dwlay i don't see why i should get mad at the conductor nor the train operator.

When the is crawling into 59 Street from 8 Avenue, held for a few minute and crawling towards 36 Street with a train skipping the line, I’d say there are plenty of opportunities for the conductor to get this information from supervision to pass along to the passengers. If the conductor doesn’t even know, it’s a failure of supervision who is supposed to know what is running on the rails and how far apart. That said, I do not condone yelling at transit employees. That kind of behavior can be found in the DSM-5. The more of the boxes you check off on the list of symptoms, the worse your prognosis: future homelessness after being kicked out of home and the mental facility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VIP Posted November 14, 2017 Share #17124 Posted November 14, 2017 I saw some of the faces of shock and disbelief. But also anyone know what happened to service around 3:30pm at Norwood Avenue ? There were no trains in both directions for a couple hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R68OnBroadway Posted November 14, 2017 Share #17125 Posted November 14, 2017 Some police thing (probably a suicide or an accident on the platform) caused service to be suspended between Broadway Junction and Crescent Street. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
