I'm not even being funny... I've walked between those two stations on a couple of occasions in the past.... Although I didn't clock it, I'd say it was around 35-40 minutes... This is beyond ridiculous. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted July 19, 2020 Share #24455 Posted July 19, 2020 One of the train sets broke down and had to be taken OOS, maybe said train set was stuck which forced them to single track between Myrtle and Met... hence that long headway. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHV9218 Posted July 20, 2020 Share #24457 Posted July 20, 2020 (edited) When was the Lafayette/Broadway SW corner exit of Bway-Lafayette last exit only? As part of the MTA's badly-managed sign replacement project (everybody keep your eyes peeled around the city, a lot of interesting stuff is being revealed because they've been too lazy to cover up while replacing), one side of that entrance now says "No entry" despite obviously being open. I can't even remember when that was last the case. It has to predate the 2012 renovation that connected the transfer. I checked Street View and at least as far back as 2009 it's an entrance stairwell. Across the street a sign for the BDFV is now visible again too.

Calvin Posted July 20, 2020 Share #24458 Posted July 20, 2020 Out of the entire 6 Av G.O, there was only one 160 as a . 8913-8917 with 9088-9092. All but one were R46s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I didn't feel like being bothered with the → , I would sometimes get off at B'way-Lafayette (off the ) & take a nice brisk walk over to Christopher to get to work..... I couldn't tell you what's over there now, but back during most of the '00's, that entrance was smack in front of a gas station & it saw heavy utilization (I never exited on the south side of Houston though).... Long story short, it was never exit only during the 2000's..... I don't even remember it being exit only during the '90's, come to think of it.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word, so you're perfect for your memory on this, that lines up with exactly what I remembered. There was always that big-ass gas station, and there was that little dinky exit by the fruit market on Broadway, next to the Abercrombie/Hollister whatever it was (where's LRG at?). So if you walk by it right now, they're doing renovations so some of the old signs are exposed. And that stairway just reads 'No entry' on the side missing the sign. It's Helvetica, so it can't be any older than '88 or so, but it's gotta be early 90s? Put it this way, the sign across the street is for the BDFV, and the "V" is a tape-over which means they had to update it just to say that lol. Gotta be BDFQ originally, from the Manhattan Bridge project. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkstar8983 Posted July 20, 2020 Share #24462 Posted July 20, 2020 I’m amazed at the mask compliance in the subways. This last Friday while I was waiting for the at 34 St-Herald Sq (first time riding the subway since St Patrick’s Day, and only because I had a bunch of packages I couldn’t take with me in my backpack on citibike), EVERYONE I saw in the station had their masks on and there were no homeless people present either in the stations or on the trains. And this was while I was in the station for about 50 minutes waiting for my train to arrive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GojiMet86 Posted July 21, 2020 Share #24466 Posted July 21, 2020 Soooo...the guy who shot the husband and son of New Jersey judge Esther Salas (involved in the Epstein case) is also the guy who once sued the MTA over the Unlimited Ride MetroCards and claimed it was falsely advertising the 7-day and 30-day period. Also an anti-feminist and men's rights activist, filing some really stupid lawsuits. https://nypost.com/2013/11/25/mta-short-changes-straphangers-with-unlimited-cards-lawsuit/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode a 5600 on the in the middle and it rode like garbage, I'm surprised that some of these cars are still running like shit after being out of Jamaica since April. This is what happens when they run them on the 24/7 as well as the 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainfan22 Posted July 21, 2020 Share #24468 Posted July 21, 2020 Rosie Perez might be the new voice doing PSA announcements on the NTT or buses, the news wasn't specific on which one it would be or both.

People think they're entitled to do whatever nowadays. Also, this might just be me, but I don't understand why people leave their noses hanging in the open when wearing their masks. If they can't breathe in the mask that they're using without leaving their nose exposed, then they most likely need a better mask. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it's worth, none of that is new. On the overnight trains? Oh boy. Been on a few overnights where joints got passed around the whole car, strangers included. Don't forget that back in the eighties the last car on New Lots trains was the smoking car! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad that people get between cars tho.
