Funny enough, I don’t have much issues with the R142, also designed by bombardier. My big issues is the announcements being slow as shyt.

I had a door open on me on the A train a few months back didn't think much about it at the time

I wonder what this will mean for train frequency


I take 87 pretty often and I love seeing the new subway cars and buses flying down the highway

Broken Water Main That Flooded UWS Was 98 Years Old

The investigation into the cause of the break, which caused major problems for the MTA and commuters, is ongoing, but one avenue the DEP is looking at is the recently unseasonably warm, then freezing weather, combined with the age of the system (the main was installed in 1922).

We do about 400 million dollars worth of water main repairs and replacements every year. About a mile of new water mains go in every week in the city, so we’re proactively doing that."
