I once was working at Lexington63 doing an elevator babysitting job and a guy asked me if there were shuttle buses. LOL.

Obviously those stations are particular headaches that require gate collection.

Realistically what Harlem line trains would run into Penn making it a conflict? Not to mention they may use a different numbering series for Penn Access trains.

That's only because they insist upon ramming the app down everyone's throat.

The reason why the app requires you to share your location is because they will not allow you to buy a combo ticket in Manhattan. TVMs at Grand Central and 125 will not sell them either.

They've made plenty of progress on Dyckman. The northbound elevator is going behind the booth by the staircase up to the platform.

Allan - I have a question concerning the open gangway R211 cars: As we know one of the summonsable offenses enforced by the NYPD Transit Bureau is crossing between subway cars either in motion or stationary. Will Transit officers be informed that this new equipment is going to allow riders unimpede...

Either the mess is cleaned up at the terminal and the car is normalized for service or the train is laid up to the yard for attention. This isn't any different than how things happen now.

A train is not going to stay in revenue service with multiple isolated cars.

This already happens with the R142, R143, and R160. If one car in those trains is problematic, the whole set has to come out. Never have I seen a mismatched train yet. Isolation in this respect is when someone takes a dump in a car, pukes, bleeds, breaks a window, etc. Allegedly the open gangway R2...

Re: Second Avenue Subway Phase II - IV Planning / Construction

The Second Avenue stations put original overbuilt IND stations to shame.

I can't speak to 72 Street since I haven't had the opportunity of working at that station - but 86 Street and 96 Street are overbuilt in non-public areas too.

I believe it's considered a promotional job with them and they don't hire off the street. NYCTA is going to have a filing for open competitive conductor come springtime if you're interested.

Anyone else notice the entire mezzanine is laid out for conversion to subway-type automatic fare collection? Not surprising in the least. OMNY is coming to MNRR and LIRR at some point, I can see it working like Septa Key on commuter rail. Fare gates in the city, freestanding validators at outlying ...

You're thinking too logically. OP was not.

And this has what to do with trains???

NYCT has an entire department that makes real time service disruption announcements - and some of the people in that department record the AAS announcements as well.
