SoSpectacular Posted October 25, 2011 #3 Posted October 25, 2011 They can't and won't try it if they could
Pablo M 201 Posted October 25, 2011 #4 Posted October 25, 2011 And it gets better, more interesting than the next.
INDman Posted October 25, 2011 Author #6 Posted October 25, 2011 Boy, that's just the . And that's only 1/3 of the way down the first page... of long pages.
TwoTimer Posted October 25, 2011 #7 Posted October 25, 2011 Heads for higher ground to avoid the avalanche of FOAM.
mtattrain Posted October 25, 2011 #9 Posted October 25, 2011 Let the Foam begin, Alot of foamers are gonna go nuts when they see this foamfoamfoamfoamfoamfoamfoamfoamfoamfoamfoamfoamfoamfoam... ...JUST KIDDING, it's just a list. But I can assure you that all that at least 1 post will say "foam" legitimately. [EDIT] - What did I tell you guys; someone DID foam!
Amtrak7 Posted October 25, 2011 #10 Posted October 25, 2011 I wish I could have this list... more than the bus list.
peacemak3r Posted October 25, 2011 #12 Posted October 25, 2011 [EDIT] - What did I tell you guys; someone DID foam! FOAM Sarcasm at it's best.
Fresh Pond Posted October 25, 2011 #13 Posted October 25, 2011 I wish I could have this list... more than the bus list. It would be a good list to look at to see all the combinations they have ...Still don't know why they don't have a to Metropolitan but they got other odd combinations lol
Guest lance25 Posted October 25, 2011 #14 Posted October 25, 2011 ...like the one for the to Far Rockaway for some odd reason. I guess the programmers felt that if a needed to go to Metropolitan Av, the train crew could change it to an . Of course, management tells the crews to not change the signs for any reason, so it becomes yet another case of the left hand not knowing what the right's doing. I do agree that there should be a program for the to Middle Village along with the to 168 St and 179 St via Hillside Local. I'm sure there are others, but until the prerequisite reroutes occur, we won't know whether the particular option in question is available in the AAS.

The most common instance is when there's a delay in service and a has to go to 241st. They change signs to a as instructed, even though there's a to 241st program in the TOD. There are also programs for the to 179 as you know, but Continental usually does this so there's a few stops before people actually have to get off, the train remains as an , signs are not changed to .
Guest lance25 Posted October 25, 2011 #16 Posted October 25, 2011 I mentioned the to 179 St because sometime last year, all trains were rerouted to 179 St (scheduled weekend G.O., not the usual to 179 St runs), running local between 71 Av and 179 St. Conductors had to manually announce the stations since the only to 179 St program (to my knowledge) is via Queens Blvd-Hillside Exp. Of course, like I said, this was last year and there have been several updates to the AAS since then, so that might've changed by now.

DanTheTransitMan Posted October 25, 2011 #19 Posted October 25, 2011 Foam City: Foam on a whole new level.
INDman Posted October 26, 2011 Author #20 Posted October 26, 2011 You know, the only foam in this whole thread has been people writing foam.... I wonder why no one does this when someone posts bus sign lists?
Joel Up Front Posted October 26, 2011 #21 Posted October 26, 2011 You know, the only foam in this whole thread has been people writing foam.... I wonder why no one does this when someone posts bus sign lists? Because all of NYC's buses have the same, maybe minus a letter or two, code readings, regardless of sign type.
INDman Posted October 26, 2011 Author #22 Posted October 26, 2011 Because all of NYC's buses have the same, maybe minus a letter or two, code readings, regardless of sign type. I thought that NYCT and MTAB have different reading, but some do over lap.
Joel Up Front Posted October 26, 2011 #23 Posted October 26, 2011 I do like buses, though the Ozone Park-Broadway Junction reading is something else.
INDman Posted October 26, 2011 Author #24 Posted October 26, 2011 I do like buses, though the Ozone Park-Broadway Junction reading is something else. I didn't even notice that one because there are just so many readings because there many be 3 or 4 readings for trains going from point A to Z because it my be a local on one line, express on the other and so on. Then there are also several shuttles on the where they are working on the Smith St viaduct.
IRT Bronx Express Posted October 26, 2011 #25 Posted October 26, 2011 Which one contains more sign readings, the R160 or the R46?
