rr4567 Posted September 18, 2012 Share #1178 Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) I swear this thread is like having a full fledged conversation with a brick wall Just like talking to a certain brick wall in City Hall. things Never change with you guys, it doesn't get though those thick skills, all i hear is Pure Trash, all you guys going off topic junjun or whatever your name is , you need to get off the keyboard and think for a few hours because you are the only one who doesn't get it, NYCT division of Car Equipment decides what goes on not Me you or the rest of us, things change in a blink of an eye so sit back relax and just chill out we got another year to see whats gonna happen so just relax I can only imagine if you got to decide where the 32s go Here's something that might also go to the : Use those for the J.

RollOver Posted September 18, 2012 Share #1179 Posted September 18, 2012 146 R188 cars on order. 360 R142A Conversion Cars on deck. I thought it was 126 R188s on order and 380 R142As being converted?.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quill Depot Posted September 18, 2012 Share #1180 Posted September 18, 2012 This "discussion" has gone so off-topic and it hits the same brick wall (the one in JunJun's apartment). I'd like to request a suspension on this thread so we can get our faces off the brick wall and walk around it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B3 Via Av U Posted September 18, 2012 Share #1181 Posted September 18, 2012 At this rate, we may as well be interrogating a doorknob for all the things that are happening here. And make that a specific doorknob, the one on Bloomberg's office door. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlushingExpress Posted September 18, 2012 Share #1182 Posted September 18, 2012 I hope the R62As do not return to the . The weekday afternoon has my favorite NTT announcement ("This is a Pelham Bay Park-bound 6 train making express stops in the Bronx") I doubt the will have a similar announcement when it uses the R188s since it has such a short route. riders will not be pleased to see old cars on their service as it will greatly downgrade it (just like how the suffered the biggest downgrade in history when it switched from R32s to R42s or when the and switched from R68/68As to R40s). Why else was the the first train to get the R142As? It is because Pelham riders wanted them and I remember how happy everyone was when the R142s debuted on that train 12 years ago. I am going to laugh if ridership on the drops or Pelham residents write petitions demanding the NTTs go back on their train (I remember seeing a couple of petitions from riders demanding that the MTA give it new cars, but they all been deleted because that cannot be done as riders on the services that the R160s run on all love them). The R62s should return to the because it had always used those cars and was the last train to be 100% NTTs, so I am sure Jerome Avenue riders will not mind riding a car type that they rode on all the time years ago. In fact, the 's R62As should go on the (making it nine cars like it was before the R142/142As arrived), send its R62s and any spare R62As to the , and put the R142/142As from Jerome Avenue to the . Another good idea is to send all Corona R62As to the instead so that it would be easier to distinguish it from the and . It is funny how people run up or down the stairs thinking their train is in the statin when it really is not (i.e. they need to the or when a shows up or vice-versa) and it is stupid for the and to share cars because of the strip maps. Riders get annoyed when they are need to look at a strip map and the one on the train is that of the route it is running on. Pelham riders would not care if the is 100% R142s or 100% R142As as long as they have new cars. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTA1992 Posted September 18, 2012 Share #1183 Posted September 18, 2012 (edited) Who cares. Really, who cares what goes where? Why is it that every two days when I come back, it's the same comments re-worded in every way possible? What makes the most sense is what will most likely be, and most likely have been, already decided. GET OVER IT.

How did you hear that there was pressure from riders? You're completely overestimating (and pretending that you know everything about) the power of politics in car assignments.

Thats what the people in this community say.... But again as I've said before, don't be surprised if the and/or get the older cars back, REGARDLESS of swap being an issue. The does what ever they want... People keep saying its going on the and then maybe the , yet we still haven't seen a swap and making conclusions fast. And even if the swap were to occur, who knows if its gonna stay like that or permanent.. Communities may burst, and will be curious for the swap. Just like how there was a news article back in July about the R32/R46 swap. The riders will have in impression. Some won't care, but there WILL be others who will care about it and be curious about this situation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought was with the LED lights, that's the only logic that I have in approaching the for swap. But if they're going to the lex (and ), then MTA will make it so.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What on earth has possessed you people into thinking that the MTA gives a crap about what its passengers think about certain cars? Railfans, foamers, the riding public and politics all have no say in which cars go where, and your little petitions won't help either. One of the lines is going to receive the R62As, end of story. Also, you make it seem as though the R62As are incredibly bad cars by saying 'greatly downgrade it'. NO, a downgrade would be one of the rickety, non-airconditioned, filthy SMEE cars which dominated the IRT lines before the arrival of the R62s. I really wish NTT foamers would get over this ridiculous idea that the R62s are horrible cars. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BM5 via Woodhaven Posted September 18, 2012 Share #1197 Posted September 18, 2012 Just sayin, the R62/R62A is a wonderful subway car. IMO would prefer it over any other IRT car until the bodies are starting to fall apart. Then I'll use the R142/R142A/R188 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Threxx Posted September 18, 2012 Share #1198 Posted September 18, 2012 Will someone please explain to me, I am sure this has been asked many times, but WHY does the need to be completely NTT? Why can't it get the R188s and keep the cars that it has instead of getting R142s?
