But, to the R211s, with more sets to enter service during the fall season, they're slowly recovering from their shortage due to the R32 retirement.

I just hope that the MTA fulfills their promise to speed things up with the r211's, so that at least 4 ten car trains can be delivered per month and at least 4 ten car trains can enter service per month. 2 ten car trains per month is very slow progress. Also, don't be surprised if the MTA decides to wait until option 1 or option 2 to increase the spare factor on all B division yards. It seems that the MTA is more focused on displacing all SMEEs off the lines that are running or will run on CBTC territory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The phrase 'in droves' is not exclusive to philly. I'm a NYer & some of us say that here. You clearly misheard & misinterpreted what ppl were saying. It's okay 'cause like I said we're human & we all make mistakes. But when you realize you've made a mistake, just correct it.

The delivery speed is really on Kawasaki side not the MTA, on the other hand placed into service is on the MTA side. A for spare the MTA has not and probably still don’t care about a spare factor anytime soon. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitro Posted August 25, 2023 Share #6089 Posted August 25, 2023 The Staten Island Railway is underfunded and the car shortages makes it even worse. Not only that though for maintenance they only have a single yard to do so with problems that plague the line to its core. An additional yard for maintenance/storage is required to accommodate additional trains. The R211S delivery will accelerate the issue including the fact that the SIR is required to be CBTC ready by this time and I highly doubt the TA would waste money into, Plus they are going to be NIMBYs who won't like the vibrations disrupting their peace anyway.

Clifton Yard can't even house most of the cars for the 44s if they need maintenance anyways and they would not be able to because they have to get their shit trucked to Coney Island for maintenance that Clifton can't even perform like an overhaul. That only causes more issues that the system currently has, Hence this is why the SIR has to deal with car shortages unlike the rest of the New York City Subway because of what the MTA has devolved into and the fact that they can't get their shit together. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask yourself this, how often do they even send a single R44 car to Coney? It's literally been over a year since one car was shipped from Staten Island to CIY.

Dude I already know this. They should have just kept the 32s, 40s, & 42s instead of buying those broken down tin cans also known as the NTTs. On the other hand the MTA had enough money to buy brand new cars if anything were to happen to the SMEEs. But no they went on with making brand new subway stations instead. The still has car shortages to this day and you can see this with the headways. Look at what is capping them from running extra trains. They have to run expresses on a two track line during peak direction just to speed up service at the cost of skipping the busier stations like Grasmere, Grant City, New Dorp, & Oakwood Heights and the headways are 15-30 minutes long which is a ridiculous headway for a 14 mile line like the . In fact it is just as bullshit as the , The Train to Far Rockaway, & The Rockaway Park headways which do not see much ridership to this day because most people used to and still do xfer to the or buses instead before this Covid thing happened. Now that the is now the slow and unreliable line and most of that was because of the & merging and other problems that plague QBL to this day. It hurts everyone. Now with Staten Island and the little funding they get from the MTA because we know they like to funnel money around to the State's pet projects and backdoor deals. You still have people complaining that almost all of the stations are not ADA accessible in Staten Island. Still wonder where is the money for the accessible station in Staten Island? It's in the MTA's pockets. It doesn't matter anyway since NYCT can easily order new cars anyways.

Those expresses are so the outer zones don't have to sit through the local stops during rush hour. The 15 -30 minute headway are because the Staten Island Ferry are 15-30 min headway and the trains are design to connect with that 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Q52 and Q53 literally has nothing to do with the (A), especially since those two routes drops people off much closer to their destinations than the . You ever factored in to where those people are coming from? There's a ton of people that come from Jamaica and more parts of Eastern, Western and Northern Queens getting the Q52 and Q53. Most of those crush loads of people get off before they even pass Rockaway Blvd. They are never crushed going to the Rockaways, that point is extremely exaggerated. Lack of research from your standpoint. Not every one of those riders come from Manhattan to avoid the like you claim. The ridership within Queens as a whole is also pretty huge.
