Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the MTA count every single swipe with an unlimited card as a new ride, regardless of whether or not that...

Hi I usually just read the messages, but thought I'd post today. During the past three weeks, the westbound 7:35 train was taken out of service before it hit...
I got this email from Susan McGowan today after I complained about PJ train bathrooms. Every single night, people go in and practically stumble out choking on...

Have you seen the looks on some people's faces as they pass through Jamaica on non-stop trains in the PM rush? All smashed in, no place to move, can't...

Has anyone compared the cost of the DM units to the costs that re involved in electrifying further east and north? And I am really talking about a true...
Well well well....how many times have I tried to walk through a train to find a seat on an M7 only to find that wonderful collector has not only ensconsed...
Today, 11/3/05, My 7:58am DM train from Smithtown on the PJ line once again had to go to Hunterspoints because it couldn't go into electric mode. This is the...
According to LIRR logic you should be happy that the DM is not bursting into flames. The DM's have been fraught with prolems from day 1 and have not yet ...
This is probably the most infuriating thing the employees do as far as I'm concerned. I don't care if you want to go "hide" in your "cubbyhole", but when you...
If the aisles are filled with passengers then tickets should not be collected IMO. It's unsafe for standing passengers to fumble with their tickets while the...
If you had the opportunity to observe how little the typical LIRR employee accomplishes on a shift, you'd understand why the cars are a mess. The average coach...
The concept of extending LIRR electrification dates as far back as the 1940's under the PRR. NYS forced the PRR to maintain fares for over a thirty year...
A while back, I did a little analysis on this exact thing. According to the LIRR, it costs $1 million per mile to electrify. Assuming that it is 30 miles...

I remember a friend, 20 years ago working for NYCTA as a subway car cleaner. He had a minimum, and maximum quota of 2 cars per night to sweep out. Nothing...

I was referring to his experiences of being rerouted and going to GCT, which he said saved him time. Because the DM broke he was able to get a small preview of...

LIRR labor forces perform the track work. With a labor force that works less than two hours per shift and then gets overtime, the costs rapidly escalate. A...
