It's scheduled to leave Woodlawn at 7:13 and arrives at Bowling Green at 8:14 and turns as the 8:28 heading back uptown, right as everyone and their mother gets off the ferry and is trying to go uptown... Extra capacity, right at the peak of the peak... Someone pushed me out of a train last week because it was to crowded and I took up a lot of space cause of my size... I feel like every time I take Lex it feels like I'm in the hunger games trying to survive... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ABOGbrooklyn Posted June 24, 2018 Share #18828 Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) This is a random thought question. So today I watched the MTAs new YouTube video about redesigning the Staten Island express bus service. After reading all the comments of people complaining that they want a subway service with connections via 4th Avenue which I think at this point would be too cost worthy. I thought why doesn't the MTA or PATH think of possibly extending the SIR beyond St. George to the Ball Park station (Not using the rest of the North Shore corridor) and then crossing into Bayonne NJ using it's existing corridor and getting rid of the light rail. Then have the SIR or PATH turn down Grand St in Jersey City and either end at the river or create a new tunnel into lower Manhattan. This could even be an extension of the SAS instead of SIR or PATH.. What do you guys think? Edited June 24, 2018 by ABOGbrooklyn 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted June 24, 2018 Share #18829 Posted June 24, 2018 Yesterday at around 9:49PM, I took the B62 from Williamsburg to Queensboro Plaza to take a train or bus home to Astoria. Didn't feel like detouring through Manhattan. As soon as it got there at 10:19, a Q69 showed up but as it was running late (supposed to leave LIC at 10:15) it left immediately, so I had to wait for a Q101 or take the . I figured the subway comes every 12 minutes or so, and I would have to wait for a Q101 to go to Manhattan and turn back. So I swiped in at QBP to take the train. Bad idea. That little turd took 35 minutes to come. The countdown clock read "18 min" and less, for half a hour. I counted seven, SEVEN Flushing-bound trains. The platform got really crowded. Someone in front of me literally said out loud "I CAN'T WITH these trains. I need an train!" Train comes in around 10:55PM. It's an R68A. And surprise, surprise, there is one car that is locked and completely empty with the exception of a pile of VOMIT. Needless to say, the train was very crowded. Taking the at that late night shoulder sucks, and has sucked for as long as I remember, but nothing as bad as yesterday. I was just glad my train didn't have to hold up at Astoria Blvd for 10 minutes like it usually does. Like, should it really take them that long to turn the train at that time? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatOne2k Posted June 24, 2018 Share #18830 Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) MTA has decided to open the Clark Street Tunnel while the previous pick schedule is still in effect, so now we have these services running S/B for about 1 hour 241 - Flatbush Dyre - South Ferry Dyre - E 180 Going N/B after midnight we will have Flatbush - 241 South Ferry - Dyre E 180 - Dyre The Dyre line has both the and S/B until midnight 7 Av gets extra service at the expense of Lexington Edited June 24, 2018 by GreatOne2k 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Friday service after 8:30pm from Dyre to Bowling Green won't be running for the next several weeks either due to G.O.s The trains ran until 10:48pm, anything after that were trains to South Ferry. Looks like the and are going to be even more crowded on Friday evenings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BM5 via Woodhaven Posted June 24, 2018 Share #18833 Posted June 24, 2018 (edited) People who just missed the at Times Square going to Queens will have to wait a whopping 60 or so minutes for the next train (according to Subway Time and some estimation). Spectacular service. Not a single train reading between 42 Street and 9th Avenue (Brooklyn), and the reading for 9th Avenue says 32 minutes.

R42Ztrain4795 Posted June 24, 2018 Share #18840 Posted June 24, 2018 On another note, I have always wondered why there were never plans to build a subway under Woodhaven/Cross Bay Blvds, considering their wideness. Just being curious. Any reasons? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to sound like the press horn for the agency, but I think some of you would be truly astounded to see what is on the table internally these days. Timer removal is absolutely in the cards. I also don’t think that they’re looking to further lower the general speed limit. If they were, they wouldn’t ask that CBTC cars be capable of 55 on level track. Excellent, Rapid transit is making a comeback! 55MPH on level track, meaning something like the south of Rockaway Blvd? CPW, etc? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I read this right.... you passed up four 68As until an R160 showed up to get to your destination faster... you do realize that you would have gotten to your destination the quickest if you would have gotten on the first R68A that came. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like the R68s either, but even I wouldn't wait that long for a train. I find them dirtier than the newer trains, but I just stand anyway so it doesn't matter. You should be counting your lucky stars that you weren't met with some homeless person. They LOVE the newer cars.

Actually getting to 55 is dependent on train traffic conditions, but I think we can count on snappy express runs in the longer stretches along Fulton, 6th, 7th, Lex and Queens Boulevard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
