trainfan22 Posted June 21, 2022 Share #3 Posted June 21, 2022 The balancing speed for NYCT subway cars in 45 MPH, MTA local buses are capped at around 40 (Staten Island is higher) the express buses is 58.. Fun fact, the subway doesn't have a speed limit on straight track with no timers or posted limits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Staten Island the older (white) local buses are capped at 40 while the newer (blue) local buses are capped at 45. Express buses are capped at 62 for at least the provosts. Some buses slip through the cracks though. I know a MCI that is governed at 68. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, with the way the 211s are going, we could have the record-setting SIRT R44s and R46s for another 5 years. Never say never! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
