What's with the windows on the slant?

When I saw the fareboxes, I thought you were in Tompskinville. I was almost went: "OMG, THEY INSTALLED THE FAREBOXES ALREADY???"

It is fit to do work on the Atlantis Line

[mark1447 685]

[Kexpress 0]

Nice pictures and Videos!

Nice, I like how you keep the time of everything, do you write them down?

[JustLok 18]

Those two slants at Rockaway look to be school cars only.

 

And I believe they had the fareboxes @ Howard Beach for the GO Shuttle Buses to register the fare as a new one or as a transfer from the Shuttle Buses. Probably ran out of the GO slips. Or just cutting back on handpower.

Yes, passenger without G.O ticket have to paid.

 

As far as I have used the shuttle bus service replacing a train, the b/o never asks for that G.O slip...

[FamousNYLover 580]

For example like Broad Channel, and passengers would not get on free shuttle bus to Howard Beach and paid at farebox there.

 

Why can't local shuttle bus stop at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge or Broad Channel Library.

That would make more easier.

Nice, I like how you keep the time of everything, do you write them down?

 

Yes, of course. I always keep in my Travel Journal notebook.
