SUBWAY - Random Thoughts Topic

[Daniel The Cool]

I'm sorry Its because since the IRT routes aren't on the R68's it just looked weird to me.

Wait. That doesn't even... I can't

[Javier]

I'm sorry! Lol.

[MTA Dude]

The really needs to do some stuff to solve some stuff (I know, I said that weird). How about this:

 

1. Line Promotion Posters.

2. No Hobos on the Subway.

3. No Panhandling.

4. No Farebeating.

5. On lines with low intervals, schedule the more crowded train a minute behind the less crowded train.

6. STRICTER RULES!

 

This is what I would like to see from the .

My E train at Forest Hills toward JC just 12 mins ago at 2:24 was crush loaded and the plats at FH and kg ARE PACKED

Lets skip the rollsign discussion, does anyone know why after 57 Street / 7th Ave the connection to 63 Street is not powered? All the signals are dead.

Maybe because of construction at Lex-63...don't need trains accidentally going into a work zone

[Javier]

But if one were to go into the work zone by accident, shoudlnt the signals be powered to stop it?

[Javier]

My train today had 2 hobos sleeping on the floor of 2 subway cars and everybody was scared to sit down in the same car until we came to Times Square where I saw police carrying the both of them out the subway car and started doing drug testson them.

A rule when designing safety systems is that everything has to be designed so that it takes no effort to knock everything down to safe mode. Think of the most basic state of the system, and then design it from there so that active effort is required to convert it into an operational state. For example, a hammer on the ground is in its most basic state; it cannot potentially hurt you, because gravity ensures that it does not go up. A hammer in your hands is in its operational state; and you must make an effort to hold it firmly so it doesn't drop and crush your toes (or hurt someone below). Similarly, if the signals were in their most basic state—unpowered and nonfunctional—then the tripcocks would remain up by default. Only when powered should it be possible to bring the tripcock down. You can imagine a large spring that keeps the tripcock in its up position, and a green or yellow signal fighting to push it down so a train can pass.

In my quest to re swap the Brighton and West end service I would do this:

 

6 Avenue /West End Express 145 to Coney Island, running local from 168 St to Coney Island nights only

6 Avenue Express from 205 Street Bronx to Brighton Beach, Nights from 205 to 34 Street Manhattan for transfer to

It won't work because 1. Why terminate the to 34th Street and have the run switch to the local tracks for just 2 STOPs.

 

2. Where's the Money for crews?

 

3. The is local at night so if it can kinda messed up service when the is discharging passengers at 168

They have portable trip cocks to stop the train in case it entered the work zone by accident.

Again why do all of that no need switching on the Train? The Runs Local at Night for a REASON. This honestly won't work at all and this will cost alot then you think it will. Just saying

[RollOver]

express to 59 Street

 

Like Daniel said, apparently, you completely forgotten that the is basically the shorten version of the . Once the short stops running at night, the full one makes every stop.

 

Let's be real here and make things as easy to comprehend as possible. Shall we please?

You're over-serving Central Park West. The current setup with the B and D balances things out not only on the south end, but the north end as well.
