The one sitting in the center was in an argument on the phone, and some guy across the way though that she was saying something to her, and he took it seriously. He flew over to where she was sitting and threatened to beat her. I saw something like that on the 1, but this guy is raising his fist at a maybe 14 year old girl. My co worker riding with me later told me "you are actually the crazy one" because I got riiight in between that. "Hi!" (friendly tone, grinning wide) "you need to get off the train" He called me a narc and filmed me on his phone, told me I was going on worldstar - but you know what? He got off the train. also - probably don't follow my example on this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Around the Horn Posted February 14, 2019 Share #20528 Posted February 14, 2019 Does anyone know why the southbound platform at 34th Street-Herald Square on the Broadway Line is at a higher elevation than the northbound platform? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mtatransit Posted February 14, 2019 Share #20530 Posted February 14, 2019 I was thinking that if the MTA shuts down a portion of the subway for say 1 year, maybe CBTC could be installed more quickly. Say for example we could shut down the 6th Ave and reroute all the train onto 8th Av. I know capacity will be an issue. Is it feasible? I feel like it is better than an weekend and late night service change for seemingly life. I just don't have a clue how to fix W 4 St interlocking without massively disrupting the entire IND. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 6 Av full closure could be feasible if done during light ridership weeks (except there aren’t really any unless you consider December 25th at 5AM until December 31 at 5AM.) then the swap could happen like it does on weekends, and modify frequencies on the two services to accommodate the other subway routes.

I suggested that for his Fast Forward Plan, CBTC installation for 6th Avenue would happen much Quicker if the whole line was shut down in this manner. He agreed with the idea but still suggested Nights and Weekend closures. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LMAO the reason why the is like that is because of constant CBTC problems with no true signal backup incase of failure. Most of the time, T/O's are operating blind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has already been exploited from before, it's easy to cheat a system out of the mid 90's in most circumstances. It doesn't even take a person with high education to cheat the system (clearly impacting on it's own), since there are so many other methods of doing it as mentioned before, that's it become too common among everybody. And the MTA's reasoning for convincing people to use the system is only getting smaller and smaller and smaller. 10 minutes ago, Around the Horn said: After observing a few downtown trains at Columbus Circle during the PM rush, they need to get those R46s off the line ASAP... The dwell times and crowding are through the roof and its a night and day difference when a 60 foot train pulls in. Absolutely! This has been a horrendous issue on the as well and that line also runs R46's mainly. They are honestly fine trains for their time, but are less fitting to me now when I continue to catch them delayed, and dirty, run-down. Sadly, they will remain till' the R211 silently kills them, ending an old butterfly effect over the 's lack of testing new railcars thoroughly before they buy them...

And the MTA's reasoning for convincing people to use the system is only getting smaller and smaller and smaller. The software used in the MVM's are periodically updated. When you see an MVM displaying "Cash/Coins Only," the culprit is usually a hardware issue due to how minimally often they are serviced. That is not indicative of some deficiency due to an outdated operating system. However, those machines suck and I'd always agree with people about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything, they should start assigning some R46’s to the and give it’s 32’s to the . Next, the should use more 160’s on a regular basis while the (and some trains) should be R46’s. So I guess that’s a Quarter to half the fleet there. (Unless some are suddenly sent to the ), but I’m just foaming here. Yea, so I guess sending the 46’s to more routes could solve an issue for the and lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no no, those R46’s need to go. 75ft cars in general. The needed to be evaluated and diagnosed like the was back in 1999. Give the the R32’s exclusively.
