FamousNYLover Posted March 26, 2009 Share #1 Posted March 26, 2009 I was wondering if R142, R143, R160 is making new announcement? Today, on #6341 ex car made this announcement at 59th St. "This is 59th St. Transfer available to , , and trains. You may also transfer free to train at Lex Av/63rd St by walking, using MetroCard." "Protect your proberly." Have anyone heard this announcement beside R142 or only R142? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be new. Maybe its old. Those Metrocard transfers always had existed. But then if this is new, how come we don't hear it on the R160 @ 23rd and the R160 @ Lex?

A free transfer is also available to the train by walking to Lexington Avenue/63rd Street and using your MetroCard." Yeah, I think that's new. Eliminates confusion. Also implies that we can't read maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trainmaster5 Posted March 26, 2009 Share #5 Posted March 26, 2009 I was operating 6341 Wednesday pm going N/B at about 4:15-20 when I heard that announcement. The C/R also played the new ones about disabled, pregnant and elderly people. Also the one about sexual harassment, and protecting your electronic devices. At Pelham Parkway there's one about the BX 12 bus. The new announcements are being rolled out on the equipment and at least one train I've operated this week.

Put on a TA uniform, stand on the platform at 59/Lex during the AM rush, and be amazed at how many people can't read maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FriedChikkin Posted March 27, 2009 Share #7 Posted March 27, 2009 Put on a TA uniform, stand on the platform at 59/Lex during the AM rush, and be amazed at how many people can't read maps. During a G.O. where people had to take a shuttle train to W4 from Grand St., transfer to the to 34th St. Herald Square to get a Brooklyn-bound train (which was operating over the line, I believe, between 34th St and DeKalb)... well... I DON'T SPEAK CHINESE!!! I lost half my butcher book drawing diagrams and my voice saying "No... NO TRAINS TO BROOKLYN! Look, here..." SHUTTLE => W4 => => 34ST => => BROOKLYN shien shien ni!!! :tup: PS ...just remembered, there was a new T/O working the shuttle that'd come from the IRT as a C/R telling people they could take the from W4 to Atlantic-Pacific...:cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattTrain Posted March 27, 2009 Share #9 Posted March 27, 2009 Maybe, Dianne Thompson is doing those, if it isn't Charlie Pellet. Thompson replaced the original "Connection is available to the PATH" on most R160A/B train sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new announcements are being rolled out on the equipment and at least one train I've operated this week. They should put that announcement on the Jerome R142/A's, as the 4 stops at Fordham Rd, an important interchange to the SBS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
