Brighton Express Posted November 20, 2013 Share #4801 Posted November 20, 2013 They are better off staying on the 1 since by the time you go up the stairs, then go on the elevator, walk down the passageway, and down the stairs and wait for the 1, they could have already been at 137 Street! Yeah, the transfer is so long, especially since you have to go up the elevator. I didn't see many people transferring up there either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SevenEleven Posted November 20, 2013 Share #4802 Posted November 20, 2013 Anyways, while being held slightly at Broadway-Lafayette on the with the front doors already shut; can the T/O ask the conductor to open up the doors? Because certainly my T/O pressed a button then the doors opened and the few passengers that just made it to the platform got to get on the train. I figured once the front doors are closed, that's it, even if it's held for a bit. -- Yes, the T/O can buzz to get the C/R to re-open the doors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacemak3r Posted November 20, 2013 Share #4803 Posted November 20, 2013 Yes, the T/O can buzz to get the C/R to re-open the doors. Would they have to re-open all the doors? Or could it just be one side...couldn't tell if all the doors were open during the time obviously. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsunflyguy Posted November 20, 2013 Share #4804 Posted November 20, 2013 All doors forward of the control open when pressed unless they are keyed manually, so the first half of the train would have to open. The rear half opens and closes independently. Why is Broad Street not served on the weekends?MTA should bring back the service pattern box at the bottom of the maps."Should I wait for a or not. Is the going local...hmmmm Is 11:01 late night..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peacemak3r Posted November 20, 2013 Share #4805 Posted November 20, 2013 I would assume because the market is not open on the weekends thus a stop which I'm sure most Wall St folk would use. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grand Concourse Posted November 20, 2013 Share #4806 Posted November 20, 2013 Plus, the 4/5 are close by, MTA just expects people to take those at Chambers-CH and continue south. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union Tpke Posted November 20, 2013 Share #4807 Posted November 20, 2013 While passing by Coney Island Yard from the Belt, I saw R44 SI #399 layed up. I think it's there for repairs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewJC Posted November 21, 2013 Share #4808 Posted November 21, 2013 is OTP that bad on the G? That would be a sad situation if it were true. On the contrary, the G is pretty reputable compared to other lines. It is relatively infrequent, however. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewJC Posted November 21, 2013 Share #4809 Posted November 21, 2013 Why is Broad Street not served on the weekends?Because the J to Chambers is a three-trip line, while the J to Broad is a two-trip line. That is, when the J terminates at Chambers, it is short enough that each crew can make three trips, but when it runs to Broad, each crew only makes two. Running the J to Broad is significantly costlier, although the transfer at Fulton is important enough that I think it would be a worthwhile change. (It seems like every time I'm at Fulton on a weekend, I find myself helping someone figure out how to get to the J.) MTA should bring back the service pattern box at the bottom of the maps."Should I wait for a or not. Is the going local...hmmmm Is 11:01 late night..."I strongly agree! I never understood why it was removed in the first place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itmaybeokay Posted November 21, 2013 Share #4810 Posted November 21, 2013 On the contrary, the G is pretty reputable compared to other lines. It is relatively infrequent, however. I have always said this - To be fair, it's only got 28-30 minute run so there's less space for delays to creep in compared to other lines. But if you have a schedule you can cut down on how annoying the G is by orders of magnitude. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes you saw correctly, that's Mayor Elect Bill DeBlasio commuting on the train at rush hour. Apparently yesterday @ 6 p.m. He was barely noticed by commuters trying to get home after a rough day.

I think bloomberg did something similar a few years back along the Lex, I'm not too sure though. I have never seen a politican riding transit before. Nice find!

Culver Posted November 22, 2013 Share #4818 Posted November 22, 2013 Reputable? Did I really say that? Make that reliable. Funny thing about that. Every time I take the G it's basically within a 1 minute of its scheduled time. For all the shit that line gets, it's pretty decent. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsunflyguy Posted November 22, 2013 Share #4823 Posted November 22, 2013 I used the past tense in reference to the train days, regardless, I still remain incredulous that making a station stop and fumigating 4 cars of a train where everyone is making a transfer would delay the locals a noticeable amount, these are the same locals which have to fumigate and clear out in the same manner and do so in less than two minutes on a regular basis. The main rub would be not interfering with the more frequent E service. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted November 22, 2013 Share #4824 Posted November 22, 2013 Saw one the other day in Brooklyn, forgot they were uncommon. The Court St destination is messed up on the R46s, doesn't show the on the flipdot. There is no code for the R to Court St, so the train crew will use the standard "to COURT ST" code. This is similar to the F to Euclid G.O. during the 46 era. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N6 Limited Posted November 24, 2013 Share #4825 Posted November 24, 2013 (edited) Funny thing about that. Every time I take the G it's basically within a 1 minute of its scheduled time. For all the shit that line gets, it's pretty decent. I think count down clocks would help. Since there are none, it seems like your waiting forever for it to show up.
