Daniel The Cool Posted August 11, 2015 Share #3376 Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) Now you just contradicted yourself... Okay so you posted it before he did...and your point is? I was confused at the recent posts in this thread (most notably your response to DJ Hammers when you called him out for trolling), so I wanted to clarify the matter. Because he was one of the first people to respond to it on Facebook and it's not the first time he did that to me Edited August 11, 2015 by Daniel The Cool 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mysterious2train Posted August 11, 2015 Share #3378 Posted August 11, 2015 (edited) http://web.mta.info/mta/budget/july2015.html Check volume 2 and go to page 387. I considered the possibility of the MTA zombie-fying some R32s to expand the fleet and increase service once SAS opens, but I didn't think they would actually do it. If nothing else, it's a lot cheaper than the original plan of ordering more R179 cars. (Granted, the document doesn't mention exactly what "increased revenue service fleet requirements" pertains to, but I'm assuming it's SAS) Edited August 11, 2015 by Mysterious2train 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttcsubwayfan Posted August 11, 2015 Share #3383 Posted August 11, 2015 A yard has no say in whether they take on a car fleet or not. If the MTA wants the 32 to Jamaica, that's where they'll go, and no amount of kicking or screaming from Jamaica will change that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttcsubwayfan Posted August 11, 2015 Share #3385 Posted August 11, 2015 It's a hypothetical scenario. They probably won't, but if they will, the yard won't have a say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RollOver Posted August 11, 2015 Share #3390 Posted August 11, 2015 Really guys...the R179s are not even here yet and it's already been said that the R32s and R42s will last into 2022... What makes you guys think the R32s would be moved elsewhere when almost all R179s will be in four-car sets to replace them? You want to keep things as simple to comprehend as possible. If there's a delay in the R179 order, which explains why the plans to keep the remaining R32s and R42s into 2022, chances are the R179s won't be delivered in time, no? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are enough R160s to make both lines entirely NTTs once the five-car R179s come in. So I don't know where you're getting that from, but that's completely incorrect.

I'm saying that there is no requirement for them to be fully NTTS just because they share the same yard/shops and nothern terminal doesn't mean the have to share the same equipment they are not like the where they run on the exact same line Edited August 12, 2015 by R3216068E 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by "your" logic, the would have never made both the and entirely NTTs to the reasons that I've said. I don't know what kind of point you're trying to make, but whatever.
