Via Garibaldi 8 Posted August 17, 2017 Share #126 Posted August 17, 2017 All true, but as someone who uses CASH often, there is something good about handing the guy my Metrocard and a $20 Bill and say fill it up. Not only is it pleasant to speak to somebody, he or she is typically so much faster than the MVM’s, where one has to press 8 buttons. Unless the MVM is incredibly slow, it's still fast than going to the token booth clerk, and most of them are so cranky and ride that I wouldn't bother unless it was absolutely necessary. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV184 Posted August 17, 2017 Share #129 Posted August 17, 2017 Um 181st just got one lolIt did when? lol because if it did I don't think they did a great job at enhancing a train station because there are still problems.

Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk I have to agree with you. 181st looks horrid. The platform is filthy and aside from more lighting, it looks exactly the same as before. Really a shame. What happened there Uptown wouldn't happen Downtown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm disappointed. Sent from my SM-G925P using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just finished three years ago and you would have no idea that they closed them for 6 months at a time just for a fresh coat of paint which is now wearing away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LGA Link N Train Posted August 20, 2017 Share #134 Posted August 20, 2017 Here's an important Question, why won't the MTA Renovate Chambers Street on the train, it look DISGUSTING, HORRIBLE, OH AND DID I MENTION THAT IT IS ONE OF THE WORST STATIONS IN THE ENTIRE SYSTEM???? Despite the having low ridership in Lower Manhattan, can they at least attempt to renovate chambers Street Sent from my SM-G386T using Tapatalk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR503 Posted August 20, 2017 Share #135 Posted August 20, 2017 Is there any underground station worse than chambers? OTOH, I can't think of any... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny and yet sad to think that this was one of the major masterpieces of the BMT really. While a renovation isn't guaranteed, ADA accessibility for the platforms is planned so that's something.

LongLiveRock Posted August 20, 2017 Share #144 Posted August 20, 2017 Isn't it supposed to be done in a month? Doesn't look like it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R42N Posted August 20, 2017 Share #145 Posted August 20, 2017 Well, Chambers Street is either going to have to close for a long time due to safety issues or get renovated. There are frequently massive puddles, platform walls filled with rust and decay, and despite it's cavernous size, you can often hear a pindrop due to how quiet it is. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coney Island Av Posted August 20, 2017 Share #146 Posted August 20, 2017 The only Nassau station that can be renovated other than Chambers is Bowery. Bowery would be cheaper to renovate than Chambers. to 96 St 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around the Horn Posted August 20, 2017 Author Share #148 Posted August 20, 2017 What about at Bay Ridge Av or Prospect Av? - to 96 St Not part of the GO. When they take the wall down at Bay Ridge Av, they suspend the south of 36th because there's only two tracks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTSTdrive Posted August 21, 2017 Share #150 Posted August 21, 2017 (edited) Would the rebuilt stations become slightly quieter due to the materials used for the new wall and floor tiling (like the new South Ferry, 34-Hudson, & the 2 Av Subway)?
