Hah, all the schedules tell me leaving Jamaica Center on the (E) at 9:10 PM “should” get me to Bedford Park (give or take some statistically favorable transfers/connections) to make it to the 10:35 PM W20 trip.

Welp, BOTH the IRT Jerome AND IND Concourse decided otherwise.

How’s your Thursday night going?

How come they don’t put ads on the A cars ?

I have the similar question too. I just watched some videos on Youtube and  one R160 Q gets ads on all 6 B cars, two R160 E only get ad on 3 B cars. I dont understand the logic behind this. It doesnt make sense to me. It just likes a person only wearing clothes but no pants.

My elevators at my WeWork are very slow that I treat it like the subway. I do automated announcements saying things like "Ladies and gentleman, the next downtown elevator is now arriving. Please stand away from the platform edge." and, copying the announcer of the (4) and (5), "This is a downtown local elevator the next stop is Floor 6." I even wrote a schedule for the elevators, put chairs in it, and lined up a row of chairs to make Floor 7 station.

This is one of those things that's sad & funny at the same time..... Or maybe it's funny because it's quite sad...

If you look through their Tweets & Replies, they're pretty on top of responding to people. It's pretty great....

LMAOOOOOOO

What's even funnier is they actually gave him an answer 

Haha... Now that's GOAT status.

Now if that same zeal & promptness can somehow be transferred & implemented when it comes to quelling & eradicating actual delays !

Love how they assume that ridership won't drop further when they cut service. Factor in that, and savings are negligible at best. 

Golden, isn't it.....

They also assume us riders are vacuous dullards willing to adhere to literally anything they pitch..... Shit is highly insulting....

This has long been par for the course; they want the general public to believe that service cuts & budget trimmings are done with the riders' best interest in mind... 

Well, suffice it to say, I've never known of anyone to take a bus or train that no longer exists.

Anyone when this collision and these derailments took place and where?

This is the period from May 2018 to April 2019

Correct me if I was wrong, I believe there were few derailments on the (7) last year, two times in row in a week near 110ish th st.
