Priincenene Posted September 13, 2013 Share #4026 Posted September 13, 2013 PATH station on that same site has been reopened for years now. yeah thats true. Yep its supposed to open next year , when ever you see that no trains are going to South Ferry because of construction that is the reason why, oh thats cool that it is reopening, well not for the innocent people 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 3838 Posted September 13, 2013 Share #4027 Posted September 13, 2013 Why do the R32s leak water? I experienced this many times on the . Sometimes the too. HVAC units probably clogged and the water has nowhere to go, happens on most trains 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamaica Line Posted September 13, 2013 Share #4028 Posted September 13, 2013 What's the point of those timers between Clinton-Washington and Franklin Ave on the s/b? Seems like it'd be on top of the list of some of the most useless timers in the system... I remember someone on here stating that other subway trains wouldn't be able to survive on our tracks. That got me thinking about that section between Lafayette and Hoyt, very rough ride going through those curves, even on the 160s.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Culver Posted September 13, 2013 Share #4029 Posted September 13, 2013 Speaking of rough sections...I don't know how there hasn't been a derailment northbound on the Brighton over the switches south of Prospect Park. It's by far the bumpiest track I've ever been on in this system in my life. Feels like riding the S79 down Narrows road going west (you 79/93 people know what I'm talking about) before the first stop in SI. Violent bouncing and lots of noise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yea, those 68s/68As really tend to bounce all over the place when going through those switches.. Coming into Sheepshead Bay n/b is a pretty rough/fun ride as well. You have a few ballsy operators who don't start braking until they enter the station as opposed to the majority who starts braking a car or two before the platform.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E For Erica Posted September 13, 2013 Share #4031 Posted September 13, 2013 Lol today I was going to brooklyn & when I got off the to wait for the you guys aren't even going to believe what happened next.. all I can say is a "different" train came right behind it and I was mad because I just got off the and I didn't wanna look stupid getting on it again. So I just let the blue monster go. It was nice seeing it tho I'll tell you that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted September 13, 2013 Share #4032 Posted September 13, 2013 This is the same way I feel about customers who don't bother to look at the GO posters and then want to blame US for their inconvenience. Astoria-bound trains skip Neck Rd and Avenue UDays, 9:45 AM to 3 PM, Wed to Fri, until Oct 4 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKorean Posted September 13, 2013 Share #4033 Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) They didnt post anything. Until today. And if you are gonna post it post it on Metrocard turnstile where most major announcements are posted. This is absurd even planned. If this much repair was needed close it for 6 months or so and do a complete job instead of consistently closing. All I want is consistency. Until Oct 4 is absolutely absurd too. When are we allowed to just go to manhattan innpeace? Never is my guess. MTA takes a joy in making people suffer.

Snowblock Posted September 13, 2013 Share #4034 Posted September 13, 2013 Yet another customer who expects personalized service for his $2.50......that's right, we're running this GO just to make YOUR life as difficult as possible. You know, the original GO this week was going to be to have all Manhattan bound trains run express from Kings Highway to Prospect Park while they began track replacement work. I bet you wouldn't have complained about that one! They're running this emergency GO instead because the inspection train discovered some faults in the trackage in that area earlier this week, and that became a priority repair project. Either that or the Sperry car has a personal vendetta against Koreans and is trying to make your life miserable. Now go ahead and scream at the train crew about how much the MTA sucks and they'll apologize because it was their decision to run this GO too. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKorean Posted September 13, 2013 Share #4037 Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) I dont need personalized service. I need consistent service. Why even have stations if you arent gonna stop there? And its not even that. I know repairs are necessary I know that. But its never Ave J M and H its always Neck Rd and Av U. Can i at least get some warning? Like i said there was nothing to inform commuters. Edited September 13, 2013 by TheKorean 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted September 13, 2013 Share #4038 Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) The fact of the matter is that the general public do not understand that just like in any field in general, (You name it, healthcare, IT field, banking, real estate, retail, so many fields) there is alot of finger pointing from our superiors. The majority of straphangers fail to understand that there is plenty of inside bullshit that many times stems from the higher ups down to the superintendents down to the TSS's to the T/Ds down to the train crews, T/O's and C/Rs alike, infrastructure workers who walk the tracks, fare collection agents. Unfortunately its the train crews etc that receives the falsely accusatory direct blame under the false notion of 'incompetence' with in reality the issues stems in part from mismanagement with the higher-ups and all the way to the financial committee and lawmakers in Albany itself who can't even pass a budget on time or really, rips off the public benefits corporation, screwing transit workers and strap-hangers alike. I don't think it's fair that we blame every single problem on the transit worker as a whole with blanket statements. It's upper management, City Hall, and Albany. THAT's the problem. It helps to for the majority of the public to understand what the big picture is before making false assumptions and coming to erroneous conclusions.

Airplanepilotgod8888 Posted September 14, 2013 Share #4041 Posted September 14, 2013 The MTA needs to notify passengers about planed repairs in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted September 14, 2013 Share #4042 Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) Maybe you can consider the fact that sometimes last minute changes on the part of operations planning and the capitol construction committee has to be made according to priority as many times unforeseen breakdowns in infrastructure can happen? I would imagine that can be a possibility. For example: The partial shutdown of the CPW last night due to a signal failure stemming from a torrentuous thunderstorm - I don't think anyone could have anticipated that. It's understood that the CPW FASTRACK is coming up next week starting Monday the 16th @ 10:00PM. However if it was not the case, per say, we would be seeing a last minute GO scheduled about now for more in depth signal repairs. In other words, shit happens.

overclocked Posted September 14, 2013 Share #4043 Posted September 14, 2013 None of that is relevant if MTA Cant bother notifying passengers of planned repair. Welcome to the adulthood, where no one will ever spoon feed you. Is it that hard to check the service status online, or planned service changes for that matter? Just saying, you got to be more proactive, and this isn't just trains. Relying that someone else will or must do something to convenience yourself is a blatant mistake. Making empty threats to state agency won't get you anywhere farther than NSA' blacklist. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M. Friday 1986 Posted September 14, 2013 Share #4044 Posted September 14, 2013 So I was watching this while on Facebook just now of last March's R44 being delivered to the Transit Museum: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151357198333843&set=vb.89895068842&type=3&theater It's a really short video...but one thing I noticed is that 5240 is being pushed into the station by another train. I wonder if that train is a consist of other R44s or a train of R46s? The train does release air so the video ends right before the train gets ready to move in. It's hard for me to tell though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but when its a PLANNED repair work you have no excuse not to let passengers know ahead of time. Now if the equipment/track needed work immediately and was unforeseen, fine, it happens. But seeing as how the repair work is timed, I HIGHLY doubt it was an emergency work. Welcome to the adulthood, where no one will ever spoon feed you.

realizm Posted September 14, 2013 Share #4046 Posted September 14, 2013 Again, the MTA webite announces planned changes at least a week in advance with exceptions relating to as you put it emergency work. In fact there is a feature called the Weekender that helps customers navigate around the city with an interactive map during sceduled over the weekend GO's. Try it. It would help you a million. And with that I'm done with this discussion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowblock Posted September 14, 2013 Share #4047 Posted September 14, 2013 None of that is relevant if MTA Cant bother notifying passengers of planned repair. So what happened? Were you allowed to enter the Manhattan bound Ave U platform even though all trains were bypassing it? You were not directed to take a Coney Island bound train to Sheepshead Bay to cross over? Sorry but when its a PLANNED repair work you have no excuse not to let passengers know ahead of time. Now if the equipment/track needed work immediately and was unforeseen, fine, it happens. But seeing as how the repair work is timed, I HIGHLY doubt it was an emergency work. As I stated yesterday, this was an emergency GO, it was planned after the weekly posters went up based on a track inspection done on Monday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
