nycbusfan Posted July 17, 2008 Share #7 Posted July 17, 2008 Nice shots, It's too bad that the slants have to be retired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted July 17, 2008 Share #8 Posted July 17, 2008 I am guessing the R40 are gone, R40a slant have days to live, and R40a non slant have about another year. - Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruticus Posted July 17, 2008 Share #13 Posted July 17, 2008 Did you hold your breath down there at Grand St. ? That is my number 1 hated station when I am on the (D)elta or (B)ravo, I nearly vomit while making announcements there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted July 17, 2008 Share #15 Posted July 17, 2008 oh yeah the station smells The front of the uptown platform is horrid. The Downtown one is alright. Speaking of that station, its by far one of the most rudest. Those people dont give you a chance to get out, they just rush into the train.

superdotny Posted July 18, 2008 Share #19 Posted July 18, 2008 I'm Asian, too. I'm totally disgusted when they get on and rush to find any space for a seat. For example, Canal St on the R160 N. You have three skinny people seated to the right of the pole from previous stops (at max) and some space left (barely any!). He or she will make this rude gesture of "move over" to make a fourth seat. Argh! I don't quite get it. Are they so lazy? Sometimes when I'm in a hurry, I would push my way out...I don't care. You were in a hurry to find a seat, but you're blocking me from exiting the train! :confused: Anyways, there are at least two slants on the (B)ravo.
