No. The last time I saw Burnside, I didn't see any indication that bases were installed there. I don't even think 183rd Street has it either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the TA is smart finish out the line in Brooklyn- South of Atlantic up to Utica Avenue. I wouldn’t be too concerned about up to New Lots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we are going in the right direction with this. Bronx stations 🚉 plus Midtown, Downtown, Bay Ridge and Jamaica. I guess they do say patience is key and the is addressing that. Hoping on the next rollout following key stations to be added: Metrotech , Court Square , 125th & St. Nick , 125th and Lenox , 72nd We'll see what stations go live for January but they're already installing bases outside this next phase. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bases dont take that long to install, and we still have 2 weeks until the end of the month. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kamen Rider Posted November 13, 2019 Share #330 Posted November 13, 2019 Saying “In December” comes across to me as a bit vague, since 11:59 on New Years Eve is as much December as 12:01 AM on the first. that’s also assuming they are rolling all those stops out at once. And if they stick to thier usual method of (and correct me if I’m wrong about this) bringing an entire complex online at once, Times Square-PABT is going to be a LOT of work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGNYCTRANSIT Posted November 13, 2019 Share #331 Posted November 13, 2019 When the OMNY card comes out, Will there be a contactless limited use paper OMNY Ticket like the ones in Chicago with VENTRA, Atlanta with BREEZE and Miami with EASY? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RestrictOnTheHanger Posted November 16, 2019 Share #332 Posted November 16, 2019 I did a test yesterday using OMNY with 3 different payment methods. I noticed a very slight difference in processing speed: 1. Contactless credit card took about a half second to process 2. Samsung pay with card activated took a little less than 1 second 3. Samsung pay transit mode (screen off) took slightly more than one second. Overall it is slightly slower than a successful metrocard swipe but none of that swipe again bs that we all know and love. Also it is hard to see the reader if you go all the way up to the turnstile arm while tapping, but the click of the unlocking arm and the traditional beep help a lot so not a big deal.

Amtrak41 Posted November 16, 2019 Share #333 Posted November 16, 2019 I thought I read somewhere, but forgot where, that OMNY will allow 2 transfers rather than 1 with Metrocard. If that is so, does that mean Bus-Train-Bus can be done on one fare, or only means Train-Bus-Bus ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OMNY in theory could allow any number of transfers since the fare is calculated on a fare engine server. However the Metrocard currently has some 3 legged transfers programmed today 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt there when I passed thru last Friday. On another random note, I am wondering how vanadal proof the system will be. I am guessing despite the big screen, it will be harder to damage the readers. I also remember seeing a twitter exchange that the readers are designed to work even if the screen is broken. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah someone else told me two nights ago that the bases were being installed and last night someone posted a pic of one of the HEETs with the coming soon screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, part of the issue is that there aren't enough turnstiles for busy times. Also, there are queues leaving the south-west side of the station as trains dump JFK passengers into the station. There are 3 slow elevators and one narrow up-Escalator to the street toward the Airtrain. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this has less to do with the MVMs themselves and more to do with the con artist that congregate around Sutphin-Archer and Jamaica Center trying to make a quick buck off of clueless tourists. It doesn't help that the LIRR above ground don't bother to tell their riders to connect to the subway, or even the Q44 Select Bus Service at Jamaica. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
