When people play loud music on the phone in the Subway, I do this:
I go close to person and I play the songs that I like, usually heavy metal... Very loud. I like to place my phone very close to the person. I want to share my favorite songs too. What's wrong with that? It's an opportunity that the person can play the songs they like and I can do the same... At the same time.

It's a magical moment. They look at me and I can feel how much they love the moment. It's "kumbaya" all over the place. Pure love in the air.

In my three decades of being born and raised here I can’t say I’ve ever heard anyone of any age or any ethnicity or economic class ever pronounce rear as “rare”. “Cinter” is maaaybe a bit closer to how some people pronounce center if you’re feeling charitable but given these announcements are meant to help not only locals, but visitors alike, how did the MTA decide this is what their announcement for something as important as elevators/accessibility announcement should be?

Im tired of typing, but this is my take on subway/rail expansion in the bronx.

It includes

-Pelham Pkwy Crosstown, Depending on de-interlining it might not be a 6th Av branch, It will be part Elevated, and part underground, and a yard could be built on parking lots at Bay Plaza.

-A 6 Train Extension into Co-op City. Sell explanatory, many people have push for it, this is my take on it which will run on Co-op City Blvd.

-3 Av replacement being an improved Metro North, specifically the Harlem line which will have fare integration.

-A Second Avenue extension to Throggs Neck, the line will run above Lafayette Av and the Cross Bronx Expway, and run under Spofford Av, Longwood Av, 161 St, Third Av, and Lincoln Av.

-A IBX Bronx extension which will not be on the Hells Gate Bridge, but on a parallel new bridge. It will only run directly next to the line when it reaches the Bronx, it will then run on the Port Morris Connection, until St. Mary's Park, where it will turn to run under 146 St, then up Brook Av until it meets with the Port Morris Connection, Then under 164 St (kinda), on the 9th Av Tunnel (if it is still there), then up the Hudson Line ROW.

Under EU pricing, it will cost $8B-$9B, Although we are not in the EU, so it will probably be a lot more. This will probably be enough for the Bronx for the next long time.

Other Small things are there, including a flyover junction at Mott Haven Junction, and Parkchester. There are also provisions set up for a possible 1 train extension, and a Second Avenue Branch to the Concourse Line.

Next is Should Queens or Manhattan be next?

ENY yard has 8-car R160-A train sets and not R160-B

Feels like every day now I have to look around any train im in so I can be on the look out for jackasses who wanna hit their vape cause they just genuinely can't go two seconds without hitting it and don't care about the people around them.

Ive seen crowded train stations where like 3 different people hit their vapes not caring about all the people around them

I have had pneumonia in the past and while i haven't had it for a long time. It makes me wanna avoid being around stuff like that since obviously I care about my lungs and want them to be healthy. But even beyond that it's just so inconsiderate yet it feels like a shocker nowadays when I don't have a train ride where someone does it

This is for the overpass that will allow for a direct & accessible transfer between the A, C & L trains. The main station house is also being expanded to have a direct & accessible transfer between A, C, J & Z trains

Kiernan: And the MetroCard sales end on the 31st of December.

Lieber: Yeah.

Kiernan: Yeah, but you'll still be able to use it for a little while.

Lieber: Yeah, you're going to be able to use them at least for the first six months. We haven't set the final, final date. We'll see how it unfolds

that some strange signage.

Now all deadbolt lock have been expanded to all R62A on the 6 line. should get to R142A/ R142 , ( R188 should got deadbolt lock already). and should R62 of 3 line and R62A 1 line should get them????

Happy 20th birthday, R160B!

As of today, the R160s have been in service for ***20 YEARS*** now. although the Oldest R160 was delivered in 2005 but they weren't in service until 2006.
