Also noting that I don’t remember seeing alternate specs on the XN60’s. Has anyone been on 1073??? Check these seats out. Yep, I've been in that unit before. The last time was 01/26/19 and I knew it was the only unit to feature those Gen 2 Gemini seats(more complex than the XD40s seats). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some weekly LIRR/NYCT combo tickets (Unitickets) are like that. Like if you have a Kew Gardens to Mineola ticket, some tickets only let you on the Q10 or Q60 but not the Q44 because the latter doesn’t stop in Kew Gardens. Hows the Atlantic Ticket even supposed to work anyways? Is it supposed to be like a Uniticket (certain routes at whatever stop is on the ticket) or is the MetroCard portion supposed to be unrestricted? The MetroCard portion of the Atlantic Ticket is supposed to be an unrestricted NYCT weekly. It's restricted in the sense that it doesn't work outside of NYCT (ie, no Beeline, No NICE) http://web.mta.info/service/atlantic-ticket.htm#usage Quote Or, for greater savings, purchase the weekly Atlantic Ticket that includes a 7-Day Unlimited Ride MetroCard, so you can transfer to a subway or local bus** at Atlantic Terminal and use your MetroCard all week long as often as you wish. **Not valid for transfer to express buses or NICE bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Flatbush or ENY. Could be ENY because of the shutdown, I expect them to hold on to the RTS for MUCH longer than expected.

I did ask way back when the B35 was just started using artics but never got an answer...😞 plus my comment got thumbs downed for even asking... I inquired about it after the post. This is one of the test specs. It’s the only unit that has it. And shame on whoever gave you a thumbs down. I missed all of that. 2 hours ago, N6 Limited said: I saw a R-179 on the that was already dirty Wrong random thread lol. 2 hours ago, Yankees4life said: Could be ENY because of the shutdown, I expect them to hold on to the RTS for MUCH longer than expected.

We are scheduled to be down only 25 by this time next year unless something changes or changed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They got their orders for the Xd40s already. The next order for them is the XD60s and possibly another X series in future. The L train shuttle XD40s has already been assigned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, knowing the it’s always subject to change. When FB had 7572 for only 2 days from NF than it got re-assigned to JAM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually on various XN40's these past few days, and I have really noticed on how fast West Farms Depot has been installing the Clever Devices Information Screens, I wanted to know if there is more constant deliveries of the screens to the depot because only 3 WF C40LF's have gotten Vianova's and deployment has been slow. Does this have to do with the fact that Clever Devices is concentrated on the NG's and XN40's, or the fact that Vianova screens are being widespread in deployment? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BxM2 - 5th Avenue Museum mile/Upper East Side, and Central Park along with Central Park West, Lincoln Center, Times Square and Penn Station and the suburban look of Riverdale 2. QM2 - Beautiful homes in Beechhurst 3. QM16 - Neponsit - beautiful beach homes in the Rockaways 4. X27/X37 - Views and beautiful homes along Shore Road 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah in the summer it's nice to go on the Verrazzano, especially the upper level. I always liked taking the last X12 for that reason, as the sun is setting late in the summer. Then coming off of the SIE Victory and Slosson is quite nice and near to where I used to live. Slosson Avenue is very leafy. Upper middle class area near to Westerleigh which is also nice by Martling Avenue. Nice historical homes there. Going through Westerleigh is nice as well. I lived on the Westerleigh/West Brighton border. Unfortunately the X12 doesn't end in such a nice area of Staten Island. Parts of South Avenue are really run down.

LGA Link N Train Posted February 16, 2019 Share #26099 Posted February 16, 2019 Hey if I'm not mistaken, I read from somewhere here in Transit Forums that the Q102 route is one of the most unreliable Bus Routes in Western Queens, right? Is it because it goes to Roosevelt Island, does it low headways, or is it a different reason entirely? I'm curious to know why. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
