Kingsbridgeviewer382 Posted May 15 Share #30754 Posted May 15 Random thought: why did they change the speed of uptown trains entering 96th aside from maybe safety reasons? I've lost count how many connections to the I've lost ever since the change was made as trains enter the station quicker than the express trains do. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kamen Rider Posted May 15 Share #30756 Posted May 15 Well, the two between Byford and Davies were only acting presidents. and it could probably be Davies just wants to go home to Boston and MassPort gave him the package he wanted to make it worthwhile to leave. It’s not like Byford having Cuomo second guessing him and excluding him that pushed him to resign. And even then, Byford went home to run Transport for London… and was barely there for two years before leaving again and eventually taking that HSR job with Amtrak. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted May 24 Share #30757 Posted May 24 When i was on the broadway line earlier, I saw a set of R68s with blue stickers under their number boards, The car was 2864. I wonder what modification they did to that set? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT if you go to Lexington Avenue-59th Street on the , you’ll notice these metal plates on the sides of the turnstiles which are the Anti-Jumping Fins. IIRC they were installed a few weeks ago or last month. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really sure what the significance of that is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted May 26 Share #30762 Posted May 26 Looking at all the subway service changes this weekend, and it's evident that Brooklyn got hit hard this long weekend. The along Flatbush and train are out on the numbered lines. The west of Crescent, the east of Myrtle-Wyckoff, the south of Kings Highway. I suppose the amount of people traveling might help offset some of the crowding, but still. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvin Posted May 28 Share #30763 Posted May 28 https://www.nytransitmuseum.org/program/nostalgia-ride-rockaways2024/ Summer is in 1 month and right now, there are trips that are posted by the NYTM. Will we see the R32 at the Rockaways like last year? Who knows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calvin Posted Monday at 04:22 AM Share #30765 Posted Monday at 04:22 AM I was getting the train that was going to 96 St-2 Av this weekend yesterday and I must say, all 8 cars of the train at Essex St were almost crowded. The train does pick up a lot of passengers despite the only running at the Brooklyn borough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted Monday at 04:30 AM Share #30766 Posted Monday at 04:30 AM considering the Lima was only running as far as Myrtle-Wyckoff, Mikey was covering the entire western half of north Brooklyn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar8983 Posted Monday at 05:10 AM Share #30767 Posted Monday at 05:10 AM Running the during these GOs every 12 minutes is not sufficient - those trains were jammed butt to gut and because of the limited headways, there were many gaps larger than 15 minutes (sometimes close to 20 minutes) between trains and excessive crowding. Next time transit needs to run the every 8 minutes during these GOs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted Monday at 05:40 AM Share #30768 Posted Monday at 05:40 AM Every 8 minutes to 96th is not possible. i worked the M both days this weekend… every… single… solitary… trip… arrived late. and many of the delays were caused by inattentive passengers. They stand there, hand holding the door open. Foot on the threshold plate. Staring up at the FIND and the cleaning display. and all the while I’m mashing the Charlie Button. or they will come to me and refuse to let the train leave until I answer every single one of their questions. “How do I get to the four train?” we don’t meet the 4 directly, you have to transfer to the 6 ”you don’t stop at 14th street?” 14 and 6th, no transfer to the 4 there. You need the 6. ”but doesn’t this stop at Bowling Green?” we’re not going anywhere near bowling green, look, Broadway Lafayette for the 6 and you can get the 4 from the 6. ”but I need the 4” …. and remember, they are usually holding the doorway open. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of those people would have the answer to their questions if they learned how to use google. For many when you answer their question they still look at you confused and ask the same question. It’s at that point where I begin to feel like I’m wasting my time because they are not listening to what is being said. Me personally if I’m going to a place where I’m not familiar with I will spend a couple moments on google maps looking around so that I’m not walking around completely clueless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear this is basically an Oblivion NPC conversation lmao. But seriously, its sometimes crazy how some people have such a horrible sense of direction. tbf some service changes can be confusing but as others said, mta.info and the internet exists so idk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be nice if Google Maps gave the correct answer. It doesn’t even give the correct time for trains leaving Coney Island–Stillwell Avenue most of the time. But then again, neither do the countdown timers on the platform. Getting around amounts to divination, prayer, and quick wits for the layperson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBTA Posted Tuesday at 10:20 AM Share #30775 Posted Tuesday at 10:20 AM There’s many apps/websites they can download/access ya know? MTA app itself, the Weekendest, realtimenyc, Transit, Moovit, Transit Bandage, the list goes on, a simple 1-2 minute download could make stuff way easier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
