MysteriousBtrain Posted April 25, 2017 Share #15601 Posted April 25, 2017 So what's a "Line closure shuttle bus"? It sounds similar the shuttle bus service that ran on the between Pelham and Parkchester some years back. Only difference is that it may run full-time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

agar io Posted April 27, 2017 Share #15603 Posted April 27, 2017 So what's a "Line closure shuttle bus"? Apparently, just "shuttle buses" didn't cut it. The line closure is free, as far as this sign says. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fresh Pond Posted April 27, 2017 Share #15604 Posted April 27, 2017 So yesterday morning while heading home from work, I usually catch the morning short-turn to Myrtle-Wyckoff. We get to Montrose and the C/R announces that we would go straight to Myrtle-Wyckoff. Today, I missed my usual short turn and caught the train behind it (when I eventually catch at Myrtle-Wyckoff anyway lol). We get to Livonia and this time the C/R announces we would be going non-stop straight to Canarsie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielhg121 Posted April 27, 2017 Share #15606 Posted April 27, 2017 Would changing the subway system maps reflecting the ESI be worth our time? They change them a couple of months anyways right?

I have seen a southbound signed up as Rockaway Park-bound, around 3:50 PM, skip 181 St, 175 St, and stop at 168 St, on like 3 separate occasions though. Maybe it's just that one train? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3F Posted April 28, 2017 Share #15614 Posted April 28, 2017 I took the 86th Street bound in Brooklyn, and so many people were confused. It doesn't help that it runs on the until 59th Street, since that gives the impression that it's heading to 86th Street - 4th Avenue. They should change the signs and announcements to say Gravesend-86th Street instead of just 86th Street. That would help quite a bit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jemorie Posted April 29, 2017 Share #15618 Posted April 29, 2017 (edited) OK, so back to my original question: why do they start at 168 St? plus remember that during middays and Saturdays is when the runs every 7-8 minutes in both directions (15 minutes east of Rockaway Boulevard) which means the line itself generally has 38-40 trainsets out in passenger service. But during rush hours, it has a total of 38 trainsets in the AM and 40 trainsets in the PM. In short, the extra trains that come out of the 207th Street yard and start service at either Dyckman or 168th in the PM make the train's headways shorter than 7-8 minutes.

MassTransitHonchkrow Posted April 29, 2017 Share #15621 Posted April 29, 2017 LMAO, its not closing tomorrow. April 28th at just after 11PM is the last train before it closes. The posters and brochures say April 29th and as I mentioned, the website says 5AM May 1st.I stand corrected. I wasn't wearing my glasses when I first read it. My mistake. ????

Sent from my m8 using Tapatalk Turns out it's shuttle buses for when the is suspended so contractors at Bay Ridge Avenue can get track access. Speaking of which, the general behavior of my fellow Bay Ridge riders on the shuttle bus was extremely immature and despicable: belligerent towards employees (who are looking out for your safety when they block you from boarding a crowded bus), and even cursing out employees at shuttle bus stops for the lack of train service. (It was a certain demographic too: usually white men or women) Above 59th Street was much, much more calmer and good natured. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MTA probably either are starting to rename shuttle buses to "free closure buses" or just went with the name because of Bay Ridge Av being closed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3F Posted May 1, 2017 Share #15625 Posted May 1, 2017 Rush hour on the Culver line may be interesting tomorrow, because the southbound local platforms are slated to be reopened, even though currently many of them still need significant work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
