MTA Dude Posted September 26, 2014 Share #7726 Posted September 26, 2014 Speaking of beeper alarms, half of the subway emergency exit doors don't beep at all when opened, and some are even always unlocked from the outside. They have been removing the beeper alarms where there is someone watching because far to many people use the emergency doors, and the beeping is getting annoying, especially when there is an agent watching right there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted September 26, 2014 Share #7727 Posted September 26, 2014 That's not true. Every time the agent is busy, someone can open the emergency door and go through it, and the doors don't beep and that doesn't get the agents attention. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gong Gahou Posted September 27, 2014 Share #7728 Posted September 27, 2014 Truth or not, it does have some merit. Keep in mind that it's not just any door that allows entry and exit into the system - it's marked an "emergency exit", which explains the alarm that was in place. Yes, you will have customers using the door illegally, but the overwhelming majority of the cases are legal or permitted uses that are nowhere near an "emergency". This means the alarm has practically lost its meaning and usefulness, and mainly serves as pain in the ears for customers and the agent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The emergency exits in all the stations double as service exits so people can exit the station. Larger stations/complexes (I.e. JFK Airport) have separate gates that are solely for emergency exits.

I'm ready to pull the plug on both, but better safe than sorry. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N6 Limited Posted September 30, 2014 Share #7738 Posted September 30, 2014 Would it be helpful to connect the SIR to the rest of the subway Subway via 4th Ave , and extend the Southern portion through to NJ to the NEC perhaps Metro Park Station? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a plan for the North Shore Line in SI to be connected to the subway and go to NJ, the problem would be FRA so it would be part of a regional rail plan. Saw an R160 R this morning. On tuesday on the way back from the bus fair, I had one of the best subway experiences I have had. The TO on the left the cab door open part way and I had ridden it from Court St to 71 Av so I saw all of the bell mouths. I didn't realize how sharp the curves are around City Hall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MysteriousBtrain Posted October 1, 2014 Share #7746 Posted October 1, 2014 About that website, why do they have a row for 67'? I'm guessing it was for the R110B because in the recent roster, it dosen't show the 67' or R110B section. Idk why it existed on the roster in the first place as the R110B retired at the very beginning of the 21st century. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
