I almost slipped some months ago on both the mezzanine and the platform at Grand Central. It's like walking on ice. That train station though... I have never seen any station that flooded before.

danielhg121 Posted September 27, 2018 Share #19686 Posted September 27, 2018 Lately, I feel like the subway has gotten a lot better. I know that everyone might not agree but to a certain extent, most operators I feel are hauling ass once again especially on express runs. Idk if I get lucky with operators or they're actually removing useless timers such as the one at 74th st on the (7). Dispatch is a whole nother story because when you see multiple trains approaching the terminal, how do you not have the common sense to start sending some trains out?? The subway has improved a tiny bit IMO, though there are still lots of problems that need to be addressed like flooding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subway has improved a tiny bit IMO, though there are still lots of problems that need to be addressed like flooding. Changes have been slow in my opinion from the slightly hyperbolic "State Of Emergency" Cuomo declared last year. While the agency is picking itself up for once (i've seen less trash, delays seem to be down, communication is better), crowding still is an issue, trains are still greatly unreliable for many and fares keep going up for little justified service. It's a good start in my book, though more improvements in the system will be needed for it to handle future generations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R68OnBroadway Posted September 29, 2018 Share #19688 Posted September 29, 2018 I'd personally give Byford some more time to improve - I don't expect the bureaucracy to be easy to overcome. However, if he has been on the job for lets say more than a year and a half (next summer) and we don't see any improvements, I would grow skeptical and believe that he has either submitted to politics or is trapped by it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He certainly has potential to make major contributions to the subway system if done right (Ex. Fast Forward). And the dedication he has for the system isn't to be scoffed at either. So im certainly hoping for the best from him, though after seeing him handle the SIM buses on Staten Island, I do have some respectful skepticism for him too, even if he is by definition an exemplary transit president. Going back to the subway and a prior point I made, I don't expect the system to suddenly turn into one like MTR's overnight (doesn't even need to). But what I want to see is the system showing signs of being able to keep up. From the factors of increasing ridership and crowds, rising fares, cleanliness and service. From what I've seen this year, im not exactly sure our system can keep up and maintain itself with the times if it keeps improving at this current rate. It's a lot to ask for and it wont come without troubles, but it by no means is impossible either.

trainfan22 Posted September 29, 2018 Share #19690 Posted September 29, 2018 For some reason, most of the remaining SMEE sets at ENY are layed up on the Broadway el express track between Myrtle and Broadway Junction. Also I only seen ONE SMEE set in service on the today which was a 32. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted October 1, 2018 Share #19699 Posted October 1, 2018 I heard that the R142As (currently R188s) have a clearence issue on the Steinway tube when the R62As were 11-car trains (5-6 formation) [not sure if this was true] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
