S78 via Hylan Posted February 20, 2016 Share #51 Posted February 20, 2016 Or you can send the W down the N line and have it terminate at 86 street Gravesend.You'd be overserving the Sea Beach line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttcsubwayfan Posted February 20, 2016 Share #52 Posted February 20, 2016 Because both lines uses the Montague Tubes in emergency reroutes/G.O? True, good point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j express Posted February 20, 2016 Share #59 Posted February 20, 2016 We have a problem though, and that's Whitehall St. The needs a new terminal to terminate at, or else we are going to have chaos just like we had in pre-2010. City Hall can be one of them, but I was thinking of sending the down the line to 9 Av during rush hours and middays, and the rest can terminate at either 36 St or Atlantic. And why does everyone keep saying the is coming back, IT IS NOT COMING BACK!!! The ran every 10 minutes and Whitehall St can handle that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetSMART45 Posted February 20, 2016 Share #60 Posted February 20, 2016 With those restorations, what happened is that they implemented the changes on a pilot basis (with the intention of making it permanent after the hearings). They also scheduled the public hearings at the MTA headquarters themselves, so they wouldn't have to spend the money to rent out a location to hold the hearing. Still don't get the whole point of it all. This just means someone can create a "fancy" PowerPoint presentation and Fact Sheets/discussion notes to be printed/distributed, and to schedule the "Public Hearing" (if going the cheap way and doing it at HQ versus the neighborhood(s) where an impact would be seen) at 9:30am or 2:00pm. Gives them cover and that's about it, especially since most commuters would be either in a commute or at work, so the majority cannot really attend. So a handful of people show up, have a little coffee, get their 2,3, 5 minutes speaking time and noted into the Minutes, and the MTA pats itself on the back -- and tells anyone who questions them, "Sucks to be you that your schedule didn't allow it, but we had a hearing......" Not trying to make this bigger than it is, but just look at the last "Hearings" they had over subway station changes to the public areas. IIRC there were under 10 people who came and addressed the meeting, and they made known how many comments pro/con were made via other contact methods, but it was a done-deal anyways (in the MTA's mind) and the rubber-stamp was passed around the table. But, once again, they could say they held a "Public Hearing" to anyone questioning their methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bstar1 Posted February 20, 2016 Share #63 Posted February 20, 2016 49 St is also near Times Square which explains overcrowding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R10 2952 Posted February 20, 2016 Share #64 Posted February 20, 2016 Punch boxes and signals can always be modernized; the TA's unwillingness to do so is simply a reflection of their own incompetence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daniel The Cool Posted February 21, 2016 Share #72 Posted February 21, 2016 Not trying to be a party pooper but I do not see this happening anytime soon because we're already short on subway cars and if the SAS Opening isn't delayed again, how are we going to make service if we're short on cars? If the R179s weren't delayed on their delivery I can see this working out but right now I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted February 21, 2016 Share #73 Posted February 21, 2016 I was in that car! It was pure foaming! ESPECIALLY in the front. Someone let out a shriek when we were entering 34 St that blew out my left ear for like an hour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup.Me too. I actually got your hat in one of my pictures! Although when SAS opens, I'm going to try to get the first 96 Street bound at Coney Island because its just a B64 ride from my house.
