mine248 Posted April 12, 2014 Share #28 Posted April 12, 2014 gtrain21q-3-web.jpg The train actually could be worse, it turns out. The announced Tuesday that trains won’t run between Nassau Ave. and Court Square for five weeks beginning July 28, consigning the battered line’s 125,000 average weekday riders to shuttle buses running between Brooklyn and Queens. More than 3 million gallons of salt water flooded the train’s tunnels during Superstorm Sandy, said the MTA, which will use the closure to make repairs to tracks, signals and electrical equipment, said MTA spokeswoman Marisa Baldeo. “This critical maintenance work was scheduled during this time period because it’s the weeks when the line has the lowest ridership,” she wrote in an email.

CenSin Posted April 14, 2014 Share #29 Posted April 14, 2014 While displacing R160s isn't reasonable, the signs must read properly. Mismatched or false signs are the reason some don't bother to read them, they aren't accurate. Just like if last week's go poster isn't taken down people will habitually ignore the signs. Having ride many Broad St bound (j)s on Saturday it's easy to not look. I wish the MTA were as intolerant of false information originating from themselves as they are of graffiti. Service change notices, roll signs, FIND displays, and many other things passengers rely on for travel information are wrong too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realizm Posted April 14, 2014 Share #30 Posted April 14, 2014 People still gonna complain regardless. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk True, not realizing that the tubes are in really bad shape due to no fault of their own, the RTO division and the signal maintainance div and so forth also the CCC. As far as I'm concerned they did a vast array of steps to avert even more serious damage that could have occurred have they not as vigilant and ready in advance in protecting infrastructure. And yes as many stated this is old news, but yes as VG8 and SnowBlock alluded to many straphangers are still not aware that the Greenpoint Tube damage from the superstorm is extensive due to saltwater erosion. However it is know that riders always had created uproars over MTA projects on the Crosstown line. They expect magical repairs with service retained out of a sense of misguided privilege, not knowing the facts where it pertains to major infrastructure work. Its not the MTA is closing down sections for GOs for the heck of it, there's a reason for it as we both know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
