realizm Posted October 27, 2013 Share #4602 Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) Is it me or that whenever I go to chinatown taking it from brooklyn on some weekends, every time I see a its always this empty (1-3 people) I'm certain majority of the people traveling to Chinatown from Brooklyn actually take the more so then the thus you not seeing much people on the . Pretty sure because most people that are used to taking the would wait for an rather the . Agreed on the and the . But let me add that its the that also has extremely high ridership (if not more) to both Asian business districts/residental neighborhoods in both boroughs, in both directions depending on the day and time. Particularly on the weekday AM or PM rush the Sea Beach Express will get crushloaded by the time it hits Canal on the PM or 8th Avenue on the AM. The majority of passengers access the 8th Ave on the Sea Beach to commute to and from work, also on Saturdays as many native NY'ers have to work Saturdays in either business district in both boroughs. I regularly commute on the taking it from 8th Avenue. Took this pic recently: Edited October 27, 2013 by realizm 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realizm Posted October 27, 2013 Share #4604 Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) That too. Again when school's out, particularly the , no seats. Forget it during the weekday rush. The is heavily used as well but at least you can get a seat. The heading to/from the Bronx, now thats a different story. It's a killer, during the weekday rush even weekends up to practically midnight up to Tremont.

Around the Horn Posted October 27, 2013 Share #4605 Posted October 27, 2013 Has anyone seen the new programming for the R160's? I didn't know I could get the or PATH in Queens... Saw that today Bay Ridge bound.Interestingly had 1 2 3 L PATH for every non transfer station except 86th which had the on the FIND and announced the transfer to the S79 SBS.Somewhat related:It would be nice if they announced the S53/93 too considering the Exit signs in the station mention them too... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only mention buses if they are to an airport or if they are SBS otherwise the FINDs would be really crowded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulrivera Posted October 28, 2013 Share #4609 Posted October 28, 2013 Subway Time will be activated on the line very, very soon... And also, something I've been working on during my spare time (kinda started on it when countdown clock data went public last year, but I've been on-and-off with it) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the site page: http://apps.mta.info/traintime/ I'm actually not. Just happen to be good with spreadsheets and the like... The spreadsheet is mine (but the fonts are not) If true, then it's about time. All they'd have to do is update the SubwayTime website by inserting the stations and decipher the data... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollOver Posted October 29, 2013 Share #4613 Posted October 29, 2013 I love it when my (that I RFW'ed from 168th to Euclid today before heading to catch an R42 ) local blasted into 125th at 37 MPH, 42nd at 40 MPH, 23rd and 14th at 37-38 MPH, midway through the Cranberry tube at 44-45 MPH, Utica and Shepherd at 36-37 MPH. 35-39 MPH is relatively fast too like 40-50 MPH. The older trains still rock more at these speeds. 20-29 MPH is just smooth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subwayfan12 Posted October 29, 2013 Share #4614 Posted October 29, 2013 One mind-boggling question: Why do some conductors, if not all stick their fingers out before they open the doors at the station? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amtrak7 Posted October 29, 2013 Share #4615 Posted October 29, 2013 One mind-boggling question: Why do some conductors, if not all stick their fingers out before they open the doors at the station? It's a requirement that conductors point to the board before opening the doors. Not sure if the rule says anything about pointing with your hand out the window though. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHV9218 Posted October 29, 2013 Share #4616 Posted October 29, 2013 So the R62As for the are finally having their strip maps removed...about time! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacemak3r Posted October 29, 2013 Share #4617 Posted October 29, 2013 Not sure if the rule says anything about pointing with your hand out the window though. In most cases, you'd usually see them point out through the window. I've yet to see one point while the hand is still inside the cab. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gong Gahou Posted October 29, 2013 Share #4620 Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) If you're referring to the Sandy Recovery maps, you can still get them.

Watch it go back on the now It makes sense... When it does go back on the it will get back it's correct strip map. The same happened to 2175, 2236 & 1891 when they went on the . (1891-1895 is still on the btw...) Another thing on strip maps... Will the ever get any updated strip maps? All I see are the outdated ones with the , and other cut lines on there from pre June-2010... Also, I wonder if the will re-update theirs. It still says Q32 (Yes, Q32) to LGA & 45 Road-Court House Square with Free metrocard transfer to & .

Guest Lance Posted October 29, 2013 Share #4624 Posted October 29, 2013 Slow it down to something like five seconds between each map and it'll be all good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked it faster better, but if I can find the original file I'll add delay and re export it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
