trainfan22 Posted November 7, 2016 Share #14101 Posted November 7, 2016 How was the ridership on the to Bay Parkway before going thru 6 Av? Getting a seat was common during the PM Rush.. It never got crowded to the point where the train was crush loaded and had to past people up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardye1 Posted November 7, 2016 Share #14102 Posted November 7, 2016 I was just reading about the SEPTA transit strike, and I was wondering: What happens if all of the MTA and Port Authority workers went on strike. How bad would traffic be? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YankeesPwnMets Posted November 7, 2016 Share #14103 Posted November 7, 2016 Some of you guys obvs might not be old enough to remember the 2005 MTA NYCT Strike... It was around the holidays of 05 and it was probably one of the most ridiculous things I've ever witnessed in my own life... IIRC: * All public schools were pushed to a 10:30 AM start time * Manhattan under 96 St along w/ MTA Bridges and Tunnels were subjected to HOV4 restrictions * I remember a LOT of people took LIRR/MNRR for intercity travel. * I believe taxis didn't run meters but ran on some kind of zone system * I remember this one bit where Fox ran a bunch of free shuttle buses around Manhattan and broadcasted live from inside Considering the PA and MTA have completely seperate unions for its workers the odds of both unions going on strike at the same time is probably 0 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeLow Posted November 7, 2016 Share #14105 Posted November 7, 2016 I was just reading about the SEPTA transit strike, and I was wondering: What happens if all of the MTA and Port Authority workers went on strike. How bad would traffic be? How bad? There would be fist fights on the streets, on bridges and in tunnels. There would be betting pools to see if you could get to work without a mark on you.

Lance Posted November 7, 2016 Share #14109 Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) Why wouldn't it? Shifting gears, apparently this snuck by us. Or maybe just me... Also in 2016, the interiors of the rollsigns on R160Bs 9023-9027 were retrofitted with LCD screens, replacing the MTA Arts for Transit cards that are usually located there. This is different from the FIND screens in that the new LCD screens are wider and can display advertisements.From Wikipedia Edited November 7, 2016 by Lance 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javier Posted November 7, 2016 Share #14111 Posted November 7, 2016 I still never understood why the R160's never got the LED advertisements from the R143's. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteriousBtrain Posted November 7, 2016 Share #14112 Posted November 7, 2016 9023-9027 was on the first to Whitehall. It displays a glitch where the front sign is a diamond with no letter displayed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonyboy515 Posted November 7, 2016 Share #14116 Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) Also, I saw a Manhattan bound train bypassing Kings Highway, however it was empty. Any ideas on where it went?

Porter Posted November 7, 2016 Share #14122 Posted November 7, 2016 Javier, why does your signature show that the runs to 96 ST – 2 AV? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pringle5095 Posted November 7, 2016 Share #14123 Posted November 7, 2016 Random Route Idea: How about extending some lines to South Ferry? The 6th Ave Line and the 2 AV Subway seem like good choices. Also we need more stations on the sixth ave line and a 9 AV Subway. Maybe a third avenue Subway too. We need lots of service Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also we need more stations on the sixth ave line and a 9 AV Subway. Maybe a third avenue Subway too. We need lots of service Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk South Ferry doesn't really need more lines. If you look at a heat map of ridership, the most crowded segments are in Midtown, the Upper East Side, and Queens. The current plans for subway expansion are: extension to 96 St - 2 Ave extension to Lex Ave - 125 St service from Lex Ave - 125 St to Houston St extension to Hanover Sq I think that a new service between Houston St / Grand St and Woodside via Roosevelt Island, with provisions for extension to Forest Hills, would do more to alleviate crowding than Phase 4 of SAS. At the moment, we don't need a 3 Ave or 9 Ave subway. An extension to 72 St - UWS via 10 Ave is possible in the long term. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My idea was that with more lines down the avenues of Manhattan, Midtown would be less congested since all the lines I would have pass through it. Anyway I also thought of having a extension to Cypress Hills in Queens (the J and Z station) via Lexington and Myrtle Avenues. Or the extended to 168 St (again in Queens) and have it run expréss on Jamaica to give it some individuality.
